First part of a BVI refactor

Browse Source 
The handling of BVI is awkward, with the autoderived interface name
"bviXX" based on the bridgedomain bd_id. Lots of special casing happens
on account of this decision, and to make matters worse there is poor
interaction (leading to VPP crashes) when BVIs and Loopbacks are used
at the same time: https://lists.fd.io/g/vpp-dev/message/21116

This is step one of a refactor of the logic. In this commit, I'm
removing all of the BVI logic from the codebase, rendering bridgedomains
unable to have IP interfaces. In the next commit, I will introduce new
behavior in the schema, allowing for 'bvi' to be a loopback
interfacename which will be used as BVI for a bridgedomain, restoring
the ability to use bridgedomains with IP interfaces (using a loop).
