As used commonly, by convention, by other tools. [Fix] Update networkd validation routines and test-suites to accept network interface names with ':' in it. [Testcase] Create an inteface with ':' in its name and use it anywhere where systemd validates ifname. E.g. Socket BindToDevice definition, nspawn network zone info, Label= in [Address] section in networkd. [Regression Potential] This fix will change validation routines, and thus commands or settings that were previously rejected or ignored will now take effect. Specifically Label= settings in networkd may lead to networking conflicts. The justification for this change is that networkd should really use the sensible ':' ifnames that the user is requesting systemd to use. [Original Bug Reprot] PR: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/5117 issue: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4057 Before the networkd from 231 was backported, it was possible to use interface alias names that contained a colon, e.g. eth0:1. This is commonly used to make legacy tools like "ifconfig" work, because they *expect* a colon in the interface name. Martin told me to file a bug for this. Merging networkd from 231 lead to a regression where valid configs were not accepted anymore after the backport. Please merge that fix for the regression.
