state, filter: Fix the interpretation of ifaces names

In scenarios where an interface has only numeric characters, the
application panics with a failure to extract a string type from a Go
interface (which is actually a float64).

In order to fix the problem, the parsing of the interface name is performed
using a dedicated interface-state structure.

Note: The usage of the interface name in this context is solely limited
for the filter matching.
This change does not solve the problem of incorrectly representing valid
numeric values like `0xfe` and `1.0` (they are now seen as 254 and 1).
