Define an ifmedia_t type to use for ifmedia words.
Add ifconfig_media_lookup_* functions to lookup ifmedia words by name.
Get media options as an array of option names rather than formatting it
as a comma-delimited list into a buffer.
Sprinkle const on static the static description tables for peace of
mind.
Don't need to zero memory allocated by calloc.

Added the ability to:
* Create virtual interfaces
* Create vlan interfaces
* Get interface fib
* Get interface groups
* Get interface status
* Get nd6 info
* Get media status
* Get additional ifaddr info in a convenient struct
* Get vhids
* Get carp info
* Get lagg and laggport status
* Iterate over all interfaces and ifaddrs
And add more examples, too.
Note that this is a backwards-incompatible change. But that's ok, because it's
a private library.
