RFC - Stop installing pifconfig and pethtool

[David Sommerseth]

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating the usefulness of pifconfig and pethtool.  I
don't know how many of you who actually uses these tools.  They are kind
of simplified duplicates of ifconfig and ethtool.  Currently our .spec
file installs them in %{_sbindir}.

Those scripts are more like advanced example files for me, showing how
to use ethtool.  However, they are not updated to use the newer object
oriented API (available via ethtool.get_interfaces_info()).

So I'm considering to just add them as documentation files, in an
examples/ directory.  Will this break anything?

kind regards,

David Sommerseth

Sounds good to me.
