intel-ethernet: rename i40evf to iavf
Rename the Intel Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function driver (i40evf) to a new name (iavf) that is more consistent with the ongoing maintenance of the driver as the universal VF driver for multiple product lines. This first patch fixes up the directory names and the .ko name, intentionally ignoring the function names inside the driver for now. Basically this is the simplest patch that gets the rename done and will be followed by other patches that rename the internal functions. This patch also addresses a couple of string/name issues and updates the Copyright year. Also, made sure to add a MODULE_ALIAS to the old name.
