VBoxNetAdpCtl looks for ifconfig in the wrong path => Fixed in SVN

Description
VBoxNetAdpCtl uses an hardcoded path for ifconfig, currently /sbin/ifconfig, both in the opensource and binary versions.
/sbin/ifconfig was the standard location until net-tools changed the default location to /bin/ifconfig, this happened a lot of time ago, see commit
http://sourceforge.net/p/net-tools/code/ci/36b541c9f3efe55c5871674ee926be8b20339497/
I'd strongly suggest to support both paths (at runtime and not configure time) to be compatible with old and new versions of net-tools.
