Roopa Prabhu 2ec2da0cf9 new ifupdown2 link module to create dummy devices
Ticket: CM-3525
Reviewed By: CCR-3326
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]
