Description
Currently we create the following interface names
gimletNswidecarN
These a references to specific hardware codenames. Now that we have new hardware coming, these names will no longer be representative. We should switch to the hardware independent names from RFD 200.
sledNorsldNswitchNorswN
The RFD 200 names are also consistent with what's physically labeled on the rack.

Research direction
Start by reading RFD 200 and locating the interface-name generation entry point in the Rust code; the issue does not name a file or test. Update the names to use the RFD 200 hardware-independent sled/sld and switch/sw forms, then verify that the generated names match the rack labels and existing tests pass.
