Impliment -ad and -au flags in addition to -a and document the change
in the man page. ifconfig -au affects all interfaces marked as up,
and ifconfig -ad affects only the interfaces marked down. ifconfig -a
still handles everything. This change is purely for compatibility with
SunOS, for those who might be accustomed to the SunOS ifconfig's
behavior.
