With these patches applied, networkd is successfully able to get an address from a DHCP server on an IPoIB interface. 1) Makes networkd pass the actual interface type to the dhcp client, instead of hardcoding it to Ethernet. 2) Fixes some issues in handling the larger (20 Byte) IB MAC addresses in the dhcp code. 3) Add a new field to networkds Link struct, which holds the interface broadcast address. 3.1) Modify the DHCP code to also expect the broadcast address as parameter. On an Ethernet-Interface the Broadcast address never changes and is always all 6 bytes set to 0xFF. On an IB one however it is not neccesarily always the same, thus fetching the actual address from the interface is neccesary. 4) Only the last 8 bytes of an IB MAC are stable, so when using an IB MAC to generate a client ID, only pass those 8 bytes.
