This adds two new selector options to `LinkAliasConfig`:
- `requireUniqueMatch` (default: true): When false, allows the selector
to match multiple links and uses the first matching link.
- `skipAliasedLinks` (default: false): When true, skips links that
already have an alias from a previous config.
These options enable creating sequential aliases like `net0` and `net1`
from any N random links, which is useful for bonding/bridging setups
where consistent interface naming is needed regardless of physical
hardware.
Example:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1alpha1
kind: LinkAliasConfig
name: net0
selector:
match: link.type == 1
requireUniqueMatch: false
---
apiVersion: v1alpha1
kind: LinkAliasConfig
name: net1
selector:
match: link.type == 1
requireUniqueMatch: false
skipAliasedLinks: true
```

Pull Request
What? (description)
Add pattern-based
LinkAliasConfignames (e.g.net%d) to create sequential aliases across multiple matching links, sorted by link name.Why? (reasoning)
This matches the requested behavior for multi-link aliases, allowing one config to generate
net0,net1, ... in deterministic order, with automatic reconciliation when links change. Closes #12718Acceptance
