[PATCH] remove obsolete(?) code that handles net if aliases

[Robert P. J. Day]

  this patch simply wipes out the code in interface.c/get_name() that
handles an optional alias portion after the interface name in the file
/proc/net/dev.  it would *seem* that, according to an earlier
commenter, that code hasn't been necessary in a while, but i'm quite
willing to be overruled.

p.s.  of course, the current code is technically correct but why waste
the bytes?
