Serhey Popovych a24315ba46 iplink: Use "dev" and "name" parameters interchangeable when possible
Both of them accept network device name as argument, but have different
meaning:

  dev  - is a device by it's name,
  name - name for specific device.

The only case where they treated separately is network device rename
case where need to specify both ifindex and new name. In rest of the
cases we can assume that dev == name.

With this change we do following:

  1) Kill ambiguity with both "dev" and "name" parameters given the same
     name:

       ip link {add|set} dev veth100a name veth100a ...

  2) Make sure we do not accept "name" more than once.

  3) For VF and XDP treat "name" as "dev". Fail in case of "dev" is
     given after VF and/or XDP parsing.

  4) Make veth and vxcan to accept both "name" and "dev" as their peer
     parameters, effectively following general ip-link(8) utility
     behaviour on link create:

       ip link add {name|dev} veth1a type veth peer {name|dev} veth1b
