Use ifAlias from newer Linux kernels if available.

From 2.6.28, Linux allows to attach a description to an interface. We
grab this description from /sys/class/net/$IFACE/ifalias if it exists
and is not empty and use it as port description. In this case,
interface name is used as port ID.

 PortID:    veth0 (ifName)
 PortDescr: Test interface

This closes ticket #10.
