Virtual devices are probed/matched based on name, and this name is user
facing value, since device name is provided by user as eal '--vdev'
parameter, like:
`dpdk-testpmd --vdev net_null0`.
The current name format is 'net_<pmd_name>', but previously it was
'eth_<pmd_name>', and an alias to legacy naming format was introduced
for backward compatibility.
Commit 9fa80cb26bd0 ("net: register aliases for renamed vdev drivers")
Since new device name format is around for 6 years, removing alias for
legacy naming.

Alias for device name is used by other device abstraction layers too,
('crypto', 'baseband', 'raw'), since I am not aware of their maturity
level, leaving them out in this patch.
