Some network driver will take long time to initialize. We have an example
in a HP machine which take about one minute for this. The callback such as
"ip link set <dev> up" will fail, afterwards setup for network will also
fail.
Fix this by add a new function wait_for_if_link, wait the link ready before
use it.

set link up usually include two steps, ip link set <dev> up and
wait_for_if_up <dev>. Now do these two steps in one function linkup.
Later patch will add other code into it.

It looks like ip=ibft has been busted since
25aa3c5 network: refactor stuff from netroot/parse-ip-opts to net-lib
which moved ibft parsing code out to the ibft_to_cmdline function.
The use of ifname_mac was partially replaced by a local mac, but not
completely, causing ibft_to_cmdline to abort without generating network
configuration options.

We do not support renaming in the kernel namespace anymore (as udev does
that not anymore). So, if a user wants to use ifname, he has to rename
to a custom namespace. "eth[0-9]+" is not allowed anymore.
Anaconda used arguments of the form:
ip=<ip> gateway=<gw> netmask=<nm>
for static IP configuration. So if we get a value for "ip" that's an IP
address, look for gateway= and netmask= and related args to fill in the
ip config vars.
For NetworkManager to properly take over a NFS-root system, we need to
have the interface name(s) in /tmp/net.ifaces and save the dhclient
lease. This lets the ifcfg module do its magic.
save_netinfo should properly write out /tmp/net.ifaces when needed, and
copies the dhclient files into place.
This makes sure the network is active and ready to use during the
initqueue/online hook.
It also makes it so you can run setup_net repeatedly without causing
error messages.
Add new functions: all_ifaces_up, get_netroot_ip, ip_is_local, ifdown,
setup_net, set_ifname, ibft_to_cmdline
Use them in netroot.sh and parse-ip-opts.sh.
There's also a couple little unrelated cleanups.
net-lib.sh is a library of useful functions for network stuff.
More things may get added/moved here in the future.
