On UN*X, if an interface has a description, use it as the "friendly

name".  If it doesn't have a description, on OS X, use the System
Configuration framework to attempt to get a "friendly name" for
interfaces.

If a loopback device doesn't have a friendly name, give it "Loopback" as
the friendly name.

Move the "turn a CFString into a mallocated C string" routine into
common code, as it's used in more than one place.
