[v2] net: move ifenslave from Documentation/networking to tools/networking

V2: fix Documentation/networking/Makefile

ifenslave is a real tool, and it seems main distros already ship this.
It is nice to move it to tools/networking/ directory.

(Note that this patch is generated by 'git diff -C', in case of having
a large patch. It can be applied with git-apply.)

This is terrible.

In the existing location there is all kinds of Makefile
infrastructure, for example "hostprogs-X", to build utility programs,
yet the thing you added under tools has to do everything by hand.

How about to just let ifenslave rot on the place it is?

Ok, then I think it is better to leave as it is.

Thanks for all replies!
