[PATCH] Change _find_net_interfaces to prefer ip on linux



>From linux 5.4, we can reference network interfaces through altnames,
so we show also show altnames in completion.

$ ip link show dev wlp8s0 
4: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname wlp8s0

$ ip link show dev <TAB>
docker0      enp7s0       lo           vetha513db5  wlan0        wlp8s0
