Michael Scherer 6885797b03 Add support for getting network facts on GNU Hurd
Since ifconfig/ip are not present on the system, and there is no /proc
to be parsed, the only way to get information is by looking at the
argument of the pfinet translator, the process in charge of network.

In turn, this is done with fsysopts on the appropriate path, who return
something like this:

    # fsysopts -L /servers/socket/inet
    /hurd/pfinet --interface=/dev/eth0 --address=192.168.122.130
    --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.122.1 --address6=fe80::5254:12:ced/10
    --address6=fe80::5054:ff:fe12:ced/10 --gateway6=::

So to get the IP addresses, one has to parse that string and fill the appropriate
structure.
