If the port ID claims to be interfaceName, use it for lldp_port

The LLDP spec says that if lldpRemPortIdSubtype is
"interface name", then lldpRemPortId should contain
ifName.  It doesn't say much about lldpRemPortDesc;
some vendors seem to always leave it empty, some use
the interface description / ifAlias.  Our algorithm
for lldp_port is now basically: If we find that
lldpRemPortIdSubtype is "interface name", then use
the lldpRemPortId, else use lldpRemPortDesc if set,
else use lldpRemPortId.
