[PATCH V3 netifd] interface: support "device" attribute and deprecate "ifname"

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal at milecki.pl>

Interfaces need to be assigned to devices. For that purpose a "device"
option should be more accurate than "ifname" one.

For backward compatibility old option remains supported too.

Config example:

config device
	option name 'br-lan'
	option type 'bridge'
	list ports 'lan1'
	list ports 'lan2'

config interface 'lan'
	option device 'br-lan'
	option proto 'static'

V2: Add translation in the "add_dynamic" ubus method handler
V3: Just add IFACE_ATTR_DEVICE as *new* option to simplify backward comp
