    Interface logic changes: · bcbd8cc3

    o  Introduced IF_LINK_UP flag corresponding to real link state.
    o  Allowed addressless interfaces.
    o  IF_UP is now automatically calculated and set iff the interface
       is administratively up, has link up and has an IP address assigned.
       It may be IF_IGNORED, though (as in case of the loopback).
    o  Any changes which include up/down transition are considered small
       enough to not provoke artificial upping and downing of the interface.
    o  When an interface disappears (i.e., it wasn't seen in the last scan),
       we announce this change only once.
    o  IF_LOOPBACK implies IF_IGNORE.
