Testing Done: Tested changing address and ifreloading on multiple iface stanzas
In presence of multiple iface stanzas, current ifupdown2 does not purge
existing addresses.
Because each ifaceobject processing looks at only its stanzas and it is
afraid that it may purge running addresses that does not belong to
itself. Historically multiple iface stanzas are processed individually
than squashing them as a single interface. Squashing iface stanzas into
a single iface stanza has been a problem in the past and also does not
work well with iface stanzas that are supported by ifupdown (I dont have
a specific problem example right now...but)
This patch processes all address attributes when processing the first iface
object (or iface stanza). Unsure if this can be a surprise to existing
users. It should not but cant say sometimes people have weird things in
their pre-up/post-up commands. Hence this is controlled by a ifupdown2.conf
variable addr_config_squash=0 set to off by default. still debating if this
can be on by default.
When addr_config_squash=0 and existing addresses are not purged a
warning is displayed:
"warning: swp1: interface has multiple iface stanzas skip purging
existing addresses"
