Let tincctl use the NETNAME environment variable if no -n option is given.

This allows administrators who frequently want to work with one tinc
network to omit the -n option. Since the NETNAME variable is set by
tincd when executing scripts, this makes it slightly easier to use
tincctl from within scripts.
