Subject: syscalls: Add 'network-interface-flags'.

* guix/build/syscalls.scm (SIOCGIFFLAGS, IFF_UP, IFF_BROADCAST,
  IFF_LOOPBACK, IF_NAMESIZE): New variables.
  (network-interface-flags, loopback-network-interface?): New
  procedures.
* tests/syscalls.scm ("network-interface-flags",
  "loopback-network-interface?"): New tests.
