Description of problem:
redhat-config-network should include an additional layer of abstraction.

Currently, the hierarchy is:

[Country]
[City]
[Name]

I propose that [State] be added between [Country] and [City].

The component that parses providerdb should also understand an include
directive, ie:

[Include] /usr/local/share/redhat-config-network/mycompanydb

With these two additional pieces of functionality, the provider
phonebook could look like this:

- United States of America
| + Alaska
| - Alabama
| | - Birmingham
| | | - Local ISP
| | | - mycompany
| | + Huntsville
| + Arizona

... and so on.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Not yet implemented
