[rhel6-branch] Support for IPoIB.

[Ales Kozumplik <akozumpl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For now the support includes:
- support for 20-byte MAC addresses
- allowing detection of IB devices in devices.c
- using libnl to detect the link layer type of a device

This all ensures we write out correct information into the ifcfg files
(which are then used by NM).

This is an initial attempt, I am unable to fully test this now due to
problems with missing IB support in NetworkManager.
