Testing Done: Tested ifupdown sanity
This gets rid of some ugly previous flag handling which was
passed through modules. This creates a global instance of
flags that all addon modules and helper modules can use.

Testing Done: Tested creating dummy devices using ifupdown2
This is modification to gospos loopback module. It solves the same
purpose ie using linux dummy device like a loopback device but there were
objections on calling it loopback so i have renamed it to link and i have changed it
into a generic module that can do any 'ip link'. Can be extended for
link args in the future.
below example creates a loopy device
$ifquery loopy
auto loopy
iface loopy
link-type dummy
$ifup loopy
$ifquery -c loopy
auto loopy
iface loopy [pass]
link-type dummy [pass]
