Add support for specifying a parent device (struct device) by its name
during the link creation and printing parent name in the links list.
This option will be used to create WWAN links and possibly by other
device classes that do not have a "natural parent netdev".

Add the parent device bus name printing for links list info
completeness. But do not add a corresponding command line argument, as
we do not have a use case for this attribute.

Parav suggested previously to simply name it 'parentbus'.
