  dhclient DHCPv6 does not work with interface alias

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The isc-dhcp-client dhclient program does not work with interface
  alias names, e.g. eth0:1.  It fails immediately.

  [Test Case]

  On trusty through artful, find an interface that is connected to a
  network that has a DHCPv6 server on it.  First verify it can get a
  DHCPv6 address, e.g.:

  $ sudo dhclient -6 -v ens7

  that should successfully set up a DHCPv6 address on the interface.
  Then release the interface:

  $ sudo dhclient -6 -v -r ens7

  Now, try again but use the interface alias, e.g.:

  $ sudo dhclient -6 -v ens7:1

  It should succeed, but it will fail with:

  no link-local IPv6 address for ens7:1

  [Regression Potential]

  Changing how isc-dhcp handles (enumerates/lists/compares) interface
  names may lead to isc-dhcp using the wrong interface or failing to
  find the correct interface to use.  However, if the only change is to
  strip the alias part from the interface during comparison, the
  possibility of error should be small, since all interface aliases
  point back to the same physical interface.

  [Other Info]

  This bug exists in the upstream isc-dhcp; the ISC has no public bug
  tracker, and only accepts bug reports via private email, which has
  been sent.
