Users can currently pick specific versions of NIC naming, but that
does not guarantee that NIC names won't change after the kernel adds
a new sysfs attribute.
This patch allows for an allow/deny list of sysfs attributes
that could be used when composing the name.
These lists can be supplied as an hwdb entry in the form of
/etc/udev/hwdb.d/50-net-naming-allowlist.hwdb
net:naming:drvirtio_net
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW=0
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_ACPI_INDEX=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_ADDR_ASSIGN_TYPE=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_ADDRESS=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_ARI_ENABLED=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_DEV_PORT=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_FUNCTION_ID=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_IFLINK=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_INDEX=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_LABEL=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_PHYS_PORT_NAME=1
ID_NET_NAME_ALLOW_TYPE=1
This change is only about the source tree. We have tmpfiles.d/, modprobe.d/,
sysctl.d/, and sysusers.d/, but for historical reasons, rules/ didn't fit this
pattern. We also *install* it as rules.d/. Let's rename to be consistent.
