[PATCHv2 4/6] interface: Improve udev backend device type id

[Doug Goldstein <cardoe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Refactored the interface device type identification to make it more
clear about the operations. Add support for udev devtype to detect
VLANs on Linux 3.7 and newer. Move VLAN detection based on device
name to fallback case.
