net/vlan: update to use modern iproute2 interface
This replaces the vlan setup code that previously used the old vconfig binary with a new implementation using the iproute2 interface. vconfig does not handle many of the newer setups. No automatic migration path is provided, as altering the configuration is non-trivial. Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> Written-by: Guillaume Castagnino <casta@xwing.info> X-Gentoo-Bug: 346365
