This PR adds dhcpcd backend support for Debian and Raspberry Pi OS network configuration. It detects dhcpcd only as a final fallback after Netplan, NetworkManager, and ifupdown, preventing Webmin from incorrectly falling back to `/etc/network/interfaces` on dhcpcd-managed systems. The new backend reads and writes `/etc/dhcpcd.conf`, including DHCP and static IPv4/IPv6 configuration, gateways, static routes, DNS servers, search domains, MTU, and virtual IPv4 aliases. It also supports implicit DHCP-managed interfaces for default dhcpcd setups with no explicit interface blocks, and handles `allowinterfaces` / `denyinterfaces` behavior. This PR also fixes apply/delete flows for dhcpcd-managed interfaces and virtual aliases, avoids rewriting generated `/etc/resolv.conf`, preserves spacing/comments in touched hosts and nsswitch files, and tightens Active Now handling so virtual aliases are treated as IP addresses rather than independent links. https://github.com/webmin/webmin/issues/1607

About
Webmin is a web-based system administration tool for Unix-like servers, and services with about 1,000,000 yearly installations worldwide. Using it, it is possible to configure operating system internals, such as users, disk quotas, services or configuration files, as well as modify, and control open-source apps, such as BIND DNS Server, Apache HTTP Server, PHP, MySQL, and many more.
Usability can be expanded by installing modules, which can be custom made. Aside from this, there are two other major projects that extend its functionality:
- Virtualmin is a powerful, flexible, most popular, and most comprehensive web-hosting control panel for Linux, and BSD systems, with over 150,000 installations worldwide. It is available in an open-source community-supported version, and a more feature-filled version with premium support;
- Usermin presents and controls a subset of user-centred features, rather than administrator-level tasks.
Webmin includes 116 standard modules, and there are at least as many third-party modules.
