systemd-networkd runs as user "systemd-network" and thus is not privileged to set the transient hostname: systemd-networkd[516]: ens3: Could not set hostname: Interactive authentication required. Standard polkit *.policy files do not have a syntax for granting privileges to a user, so ship a pklocalauthority (for polkit < 106) and a JavaScript rules file (for polkit >= 106) that grants the "systemd-network" system user that privilege. Add DnsmasqClientTest.test_transient_hostname() test to networkd-test.py to cover this. Make do_test() a bit more flexible by interpreting "coldplug==None" as "test sets up the interface by itself". Change DnsmasqClientTest to set up test_eth42 with a fixed MAC address so that we can configure dnsmasq to send a special host name for that. Fixes #4646
