This adds initial/experimental support for bootstrapping the network in the initrd. It is meant to support weird cloud providers where DHCP is not available or not usable. This feature is currently reachable as a dedicated `exp rd-net-bootstrap` subcommand. The first provider where this logic is required is `ibmcloud-classic`.

In prior discussion we debated whether or not these networking parameters should be "apply once" or be applied every boot. I thought we'd leaned towards "apply once" - which argues for doing this more as part of Ignition, right? But, I guess nothing technically stops us from doing "configure once" stuff in afterburn too, it just blurs the architecture diagrams. |

We can implement this right? See openshift/machine-config-operator#1579

I've replied there. The TLDR is that we can but we shouldn't.
This is for platforms where either:
- network auto-configuration is performed via DHCP and a cloud-channel for the hostname
- network auto-configuration happens via some custom protocol, which includes the hostname
Other cases are owned already by 1) dracut kargs and 2) Ignition.
