CL 340370 introduced (*Ifreq).Name method which scans the Ifrn field
for \0 twice -- first explicitly, when by calling BytePtrToString.
It seems more straightforward to use ByteSliceToString instead. The
differences are:
- simpler code;
- no double scanning for \0;
- in case there is no \0 in the Ifrn (unlikely), the full string
(rather than an empty string) is now returned.
With the last item in mind, the test case with no \0 as input that
expects empty output fails, so drop it. Alternatively, we could test
that it returns the full string, but it will be essentially testing
ByteSliceToString, which is not the point.

ioctls such as SIOCGIFADDR deal with AF_INET sockaddr addresses, but none of
the fields aside from the embedded IPv4 address are used. To keep the interface
more simple, we directly expose Inet4Addr get and set methods which enable use
of these ioctls with the Ifreq wrapper.

This CL expands upon CL 340369 by exporting the Ifreq type along with methods
for setting and getting data to/from the ifreq union in a type-safe way.
ifreqData remains unexported as we can keep adding helpers similar to the
IoctlGetEthtoolDrvinfo to expose those operations in a less error-prone way.
A test is also added to verify interface index data using IoctlIfreq against
the modern rtnetlink API used by the standard library.
