Per the bug report, %I results in -'s in the interface name being
replaced with /'s, which means when we try to look up the interface
by path in dhcp-all-interfaces.sh we end up at an invalid path.
Using %i instead should fix the problem.
See https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html
Essentially what is happening is that we start with a name like
br-ex that wasn't escaped in the first place. However, because of
the - it looks like it could have been escaped to systemd. When
we use %I, which tries to unescape escaped values, it unescapes a
value that was already not escaped.

As noted in the bug, there may be circumstances where a longer
timeout than the current default is needed. This patch allows users
to tune this timeout for their environment if need be.

When we configure dhcp interfaces before network.target has run,
network.target will try to bring up those interfaces a second time
after our service does so. This causes two issues - first, the
network target will always fail because it can't bring up an
interface that is already up, and second, when configuring interfaces
that don't actually have an available DHCP server it will result in
a five minute delay waiting for DHCP on those interfaces. This will
also cause the network target to fail and is an unnecessary delay.
By moving the dhcp-interface service to run after the network
target we avoid both of these problems. network.target will still
bring up the interfaces on subsequent boots. This could result in
the five minute delay happening on reboots, but the expected use
case for interfaces without DHCP is that they would be configured
statically on initial deployment so this should be a minor issue.
The dhcp-interface service is also configured to run before the
network-online target so that services which depend on the network
actually being available will not race the DHCP process.
A snippet from /var/log/messages on a node with this patch applied
is included in the bug to demonstrate the behavior described above.

We are currently wasting about 10 minutes per deploy waiting for
DHCP on interfaces that will never get it. By default, the timeout
seems to be 5 minutes (the 10 minutes is because we boot both the
IPA ramdisk and the deployed image, and each waits for 5 minutes),
which is excessively long to get a DHCP response. This change
shortens the time to 30 seconds. If an interface hasn't gotten a
response in 30 seconds, chances are it's not going to. A 30
second wait should reduce our wasted time to 1 minute, which is
more reasonable.
This is being done in the systemd unit file because the -timeout
option to dhclient doesn't seem to override what is configured in
dhclient.conf, and doing it in the systemd file means that this
change will be limited to only the interfaces configured by
dhcp-all-interfaces.

Dependency to start network-pre (which
depends on network.target) before
dhcp-interface@.service collides with
Ubuntu's own network.target that suupose
to start after network-pre.

Currently there is no way for a service to become aware that
dhcp-all-interfaces is finished configuring all the interfaces at
boot time. This causes problems for applications like the
ironic-python-agent which scans the interfaces when it first starts as
part of the inspection stage and can race against dhcp-all-interfaces
bringing up the interfaces, leading to inconsistent results.
This patch ensures that the dhcp-all-interfaces script runs before any
network interface is configured and brought up by the rest of the
system, and also ensures that the ironic-agent element also waits for
the network to be online before starting. This is done by using the
network targets provided by systemd.

Updates the dhcp-all-interfaces element to fix a race
with the recent udev rules implementation on Fedora.
With the new approach we make the udev rule want (require
to startup) a generic dhcp-interface@.service template which
can be started individually for each interface that is
discovered.
The dhcp-interface@.service is setup such that it:
1) It calls dhcp-all-interfaces <iface> directly with
a pre-exec script. This creates the ifcfg file right
before we need it but avoids the case where network.service
might get greedy and try to start it itself.
2) Only runs if the ifcfg script doesn't already exist. This
is important because we only need to bootstrap the DHCP configs...
Once they exist the network.service will take care of starting them
on reboots, upgrades, etc.
3) On initial boot ensure that the initial DHCP interfaces come
up after network.service. Since we really only want
dhcp-all-interfaces to help bootstrap that haven't already
been configured this seems reasonable.
4) We also try to ensure that cloud-init
comes up after the DHCP interfaces. Cloud init has a decently
long timeout that this wasn't a functional problem but it keeps
log file spew down.
