network-generator: support BOOTIF= and rd.bootif=0 options

Browse Source 
The network generator currently supports many of the options described
by dracut.cmdline(7), but not everything.

This commit adds support for the BOOTIF= option (and the related
rd.bootif= option) used in PXE setups.

This is implemented by treating BOOTIF as a special name/placeholder
when used as an interface name, and expecting a MAC address to be set in
the BOOTIF= parameter. The resulting .network file then uses MACAddress=
in the [Match] section, instead of Name=.

<para>When <varname>BOOTIF</varname> is specified in the interface field of <varname>ip=</varname>, it is treated
as a special placeholder rather than a real interface name. Then, in combination with the MAC address provided
by <varname>BOOTIF=</varname>, this is translated into a
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> file
which matches on the the provided MAC address. When <varname>rd.bootif=0</varname> is passed, this functionality
is disabled, and the <varname>BOOTIF=</varname> option is ignored.</para>
<para>See <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>dracut.cmdline</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details on the usage of these options.</para>
