LinuxDriver mixes in napalm-device-types' VirtualIpsMixin (4.2.0, NAPALM/napalm-device-types#24): get_virtual_ips() reports the addresses vip-manager and keepalived let float onto the host. For NetOrk/netork#829.

The hook _run_virtual_ips_command uses the exec channel (run_command), not the PTY: with its awk filter the command is about 4 kB, past the line an interactive shell reliably takes. Privileges as everywhere in this driver: root directly, a sudo password on stdin, otherwise sudo -n; when sudo refuses, the mixin reads again unprivileged.

Tests: the getter goes over run_command and never send_command; without a sudo password the whole script runs under sudo -n sh -c; a refused sudo falls back. Checked read-only against db-01 and db-02.

napalm-device-types>=4.2.0, version 0.4.0.

LinuxDriver mixes in napalm-device-types' VirtualIpsMixin (4.2.0) and
carries its command on the exec channel: with the awk filter it is about
4 kB, past the line the PTY netmiko holds reliably takes. Root first,
then without it (NetOrk/netork#829).

Version 0.4.0.
