openvpn: T2969: force creation of tunnel interfaces
A lot of VyOS code requires the Kernel interface to be present in order to
properly work and adjust the interface to the users CLI intends (alias, ipv6,
vrf - just to name a few).
OpenVPN - when run in client mode - only creates the interface (e.g. vtun1) when
the connection to the OpenVPN server was successful. This can't be always the
case due to e.g. software-updates or routing issues to the remote side. This
will in the end result in a zombie OpenVPN client interface where some config
items might not have been set when the interface finally comes up - imagine a
wrong assigned VRF instance.
By always creating the OpenVPN interface manuall we ensure that all the CLI
settings are properly configured in the OS kernel.
