ip tunnel: warn when changing IPv6 tunnel without tunnel name 

Tunnel change fails if a tunnel name is not specified while using
'ip -6 tunnel change'. However, no warning message is printed and
no error code is returned.

$ ip -6 tunnel add ip6tnl1 mode ip6gre local fd::1 remote fd::2 tos inherit ttl 127 encaplimit none dev dummy0
$ ip -6 tunnel change dev dummy0 local 2001🔢:1 remote 2001🔢:2
$ ip -6 tunnel show ip6tnl1
ip6tnl1: gre/ipv6 remote fd::2 local fd::1 dev dummy0 encaplimit none hoplimit 127 tclass inherit flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000)

This commit checks if tunnel interface name is equal to an empty
string: in this case, it prints a warning message to the user.
It intentionally avoids to return an error to not break existing
script setup.

This is the output after this commit:
$ ip -6 tunnel add ip6tnl1 mode ip6gre local fd::1 remote fd::2 tos inherit ttl 127 encaplimit none dev dummy0
$ ip -6 tunnel change dev dummy0 local 2001🔢:1 remote 2001🔢:2
Tunnel interface name not specified
$ ip -6 tunnel show ip6tnl1
ip6tnl1: gre/ipv6 remote fd::2 local fd::1 dev dummy0 encaplimit none hoplimit 127 tclass inherit flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000)
