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.
