[BUG] Ifname label in driver-opt doesn't work #12740

Description

Since release 28.0.0 we can add a new netlabel com.docker.network.endpoint.ifname to customize the interface name used when connecting a container to a network.

When added in a docker compose file, this network driver option is not applied, resulting in a container without the expected custom network interface name.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Environment

docker version
Client: Docker Engine - Community
 Version:           28.0.4
 API version:       1.48
 Go version:        go1.23.7
 Git commit:        b8034c0
 Built:             Tue Mar 25 15:07:11 2025
 OS/Arch:           linux/amd64
 Context:           default

Server: Docker Engine - Community
 Engine:
  Version:          28.0.4
  API version:      1.48 (minimum version 1.24)
  Go version:       go1.23.7
  Git commit:       6430e49
  Built:            Tue Mar 25 15:07:11 2025
  OS/Arch:          linux/amd64
  Experimental:     false
 containerd:
  Version:          1.7.22
  GitCommit:        7f7fdf5fed64eb6a7caf99b3e12efcf9d60e311c
 runc:
  Version:          1.1.14
  GitCommit:        v1.1.14-0-g2c9f560
 docker-init:
  Version:          0.19.0
  GitCommit:        de40ad0

2. Configuration

This is an example docker compose file:

services:
  alpine:
    image: alpine
    command: sleep 100
    networks:
      net0:

networks:
  net0:
    ipam:
      driver: default
      config:
        - subnet: 192.168.90.0/24
    driver_opts:
      com.docker.network.endpoint.ifname: net0

3. Command

docker compose up -d

4. Result/Error

docker exec -it docker-netlabel-alpine-1 sh
/ # ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0@if661: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP 
    link/ether 6a:ab:c8:45:23:9e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.90.2/24 brd 192.168.90.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
/ #

The interface name is supposed to be net0 but the actual name is still eth0
