Implement a loopback instance allocation scheme.
To support creating loopback interfaces with a specific instance number, a new CREATE_LOOPBACK_INSTANCE API call with flag is_specified and value user_instance is introduced. Presumably the existing CREATE_LOOPBACK API message will be obsoleted and revmoved. The VAT cli commands can now mention and format the new field as 'instance %d' data. If no instance number is named, the old call CREATE_LOOPBACK is used to maintain backward compatibility. However, if the instance is named, the new CREATE_LOOPBACK_INSTANCE message will be used. Both the dynamically allocated and user-requested instance number are tracked in a bitvector. If is_specified is 0, the next free instance will be used.. A request for a specific instance number will be granted if it is available. On error, the value ~0 is returned.
