Code Review
This pull request introduces support for veth (Virtual Ethernet) interfaces, including the ability to add links, serialize veth-specific data, and display it in the CLI. Integration tests for veth functionality were also added. Feedback includes a recommendation to validate that no unexpected trailing arguments are provided after the peer name in apply_veth and a suggestion to remove a redundant interface deletion in the test cleanup logic, as deleting one end of a veth pair automatically removes the other.
