Andy Gospodarek 5d295bb8e1 add support for brief output for link and addresses
This adds support for slightly less output than is normally provided by
'ip link show' and 'ip addr show'.  This is a bit better when you have a
host with lots of interfaces.  Sample output:

$ ip -br link show
lo               UNKNOWN        00:00:00:00:00:00 <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP>
p2p1             UP             08:00:27:ee:0b:3b <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
p7p1             UP             08:00:27:9d:62:9f <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
p8p1             DOWN           08:00:27:dc:d8:ca <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>
p9p1             UP             08:00:27:76:d9:75 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
p7p1.100@p7p1    UP             08:00:27:9d:62:9f <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>

$ ip -br -4 addr show
lo               UNKNOWN        127.0.0.1/8
p2p1             UP             192.168.56.2/24
p7p1             UP             70.0.0.1/24
p8p1             DOWN           80.0.0.1/24
p9p1             UP             10.0.5.15/24
p7p1.100@p7p1    UP             200.0.0.1/24

$ ip -br -6 addr show
lo               UNKNOWN        ::1/128
p2p1             UP             fe80::a00:27ff:feee:b3b/64
p7p1             UP             7000::1/8 fe80::a00:27ff:fe9d:629f/64
p8p1             DOWN           8000::1/8
p9p1             UP             fe80::a00:27ff:fe76:d975/64
p7p1.100@p7p1    UP             fe80::a00:27ff:fe9d:629f/64

$ ip -br addr show p7p1
p7p1             UP             70.0.0.1/24 7000::1/8 fe80::a00:27ff:fe9d:629f/64

v2: Now with color support!
v3: Better field width estimation (except netdev names to keep output at a
decent width) and whitespace fixup.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
