Summary: IPv6 Interface naming/indexing functions

Initial Comment:
The Python socket module does not feature the functions declared in net/if.h even though they are essential to support IPv6 multicast to a reasonable extent. 

This patch adds a straightforward intertace to the three functions if_nameindex(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname().

I didn't add a testcase as I don't know what to test ;)


The patch seems to work on Ubuntu 7.04.
