Implement machine `ParseNetwork` string

[nderjung]

Feature request summary

Introduce a utility method for parsing string representation of a network similar to ParsePorts.

Towards preventing internal Unikraft-specific syntax structures (i.e kraftkit.sh/unikraft/export/v0/uknetdev.NetdevIp) being mixed with CLI-level code (see #1633), introduce an abstract mechanism for a string representation of a network.

Whilst the format will be a 1-to-1 with NetdevIp, this abstraction makes it possible to use kraft with other kernels and allows us to structure these appropriately.

Hey @nderjung, could you guide me and point me to some documentation where I can learn about the abstract representation of network strings? I'd like to understand how to make this network string compatible with NetdevIp and other kernels, and come up with a solution.
Thanks!
