The original problem was that something like:
| strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, *argv, IFNAMSIZ);
might leave ifr.ifr_name unterminated if length of *argv exceeds
IFNAMSIZ. In order to fix this, I thought about replacing all those
cases with (equivalent) calls to snprintf() or even introducing
strlcpy(). But as Ulrich Drepper correctly pointed out when rejecting
the latter from being added to glibc, truncating a string without
notifying the user is not to be considered good practice. So let's
excercise what he suggested and reject empty, overlong or otherwise
invalid interface names right from the start - this way calls to
strncpy() like shown above become safe and the user has a chance to
reconsider what he was trying to do.
Note that this doesn't add calls to check_ifname() to all places where
user supplied interface name is parsed. In many cases, the interface
must exist already and is therefore looked up using ll_name_to_index(),
so if_nametoindex() will perform the necessary checks already.

This checking was performed only when adding interface but
it is needed also when deleting, otherwise the error will be:
ioctl(TUNSETIFF): Invalid argument

This patch adds multi_queue option to ip tuntap.
This allows IFF_MULTI_QUEUE flag to be specified during
tun/tap device creation enabling multi-queue support in tun/tap
device.
Example: ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap multi_queue

This patch improves many error messages as follows:
- For incorrect parameters, show the value of the offending parameter, rather than just say that it is incorrect
- Rephrased messages for clarity
- Rephrased to more `mainstream' english

Lets use "delete" in all calls to matches() for consistency. This will
make both "del" and "delete" work everywhere.
