pf: attempt to handle overlapping group and interface names
pf assumes that network groups and network interfaces share a namespace (that is, a name is unused, a group or an interface, never both a the same time). Unfortunately this assumption was broken when interface renaming was introduced. Attempt to cope with this rather than panicking. Note that this is a band-aid, not a full solution. The correct fix is for the network stack to go back to enforcing a single namespace for groups and interfaces.
