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.
