We must be able to call klass('eth0.1.2', create=False).add_addr to add an address on the vif-c and also klass('eth0.1', create=False).add_addrto add an address on the vif-s. I'm adding functions on Interfaces class to purge/restore addresses which will be used when adding/removing bridge/bond members, T2367.

This isn't as important as I thought initially as the interface scripts verify function will prevent adding interfaces with addresses to a bridge or bond - thus a simple 'ip addr flush dev x' will suffice to flush the remaining (should be just the fe80 link-local), as there should be no dhclients running.
