Add optional script for persistent network interface renaming
Add a new service that runs a small helper script that applies a consistent, deterministic naming pattern to all interfaces, based on their mac address. A configuration file with wild card pattern matching can be used for determining names. By default, this is disabled. Also, this script is Linux specific.

+# Interface renaming rules
+#
+# Format: NAME,MAC,NEWNAME
+#
+# NAME and MAC are shell glob patterns. Both must match for a rule to apply.
+# The first matching rule is chosen (top to bottom).
+#
+# Interfaces with the same NEWNAME are sorted by MAC and have a running
+# index appended to their new name.
+#
+# Example: rename all ethernet interfaces to "port<X>"
+# eth*,*,port
