Rename generate-interfaces-file.sh to dhcp-all-interfaces.sh
so that it is easier to find/remember in the $PATH on a deployed
image.

Also, on some distros the script actually generates many files
so the previous name was a bit confusing.

Autodetect network interfaces during boot and configure them for DHCP

The rationale for this is that we are likely to require multiple network interfaces for use cases such as baremetal and there is no way to know ahead of time which one is which, so we will simply run a DHCP client on all interfaces with real MAC addresses (except lo) that are visible on the first boot.

The script /usr/local/sbin/dhcp-all-interfaces.sh will be called early in each boot and will scan available network interfaces and ensure they are configured properly before networking services are started.
