[pve-devel] [PATCH common] Fix #882: active state of interfaces depends on ipv6

read_etc_network_interfaces uses the content of
/proc/net/if_inet6 to decide whether an interface's state is
"active", which means an interface is only active when it
has an ipv6 address, thus using net.ipv6.conf.*.disable_ipv6
on an interface will cause it to show as inactive in the web
interface.

Fix this by instead listing the interfaces in /sys/class/net
which have an 'operstate' of "up" or "unknown".
"unknown" because an active tap or tun device usually shows
up as 'unknown' even when it's working and has addresses
assigned.
