Hervé Rousseau b91e212434 Break retry loop on success in dhcp-all-interfaces
If rdisc6 is available, a node using this element will loops until
DIB_DHCP_TIMEOUT is reached because of a missing 'break' when rdisc6
return code is 0.
This will mark the dhcp-interface@.service unit as failed (because it
has the same timeout) and not bring any network interface online.

===================
dhcp-all-interfaces
===================
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.

On non-Gentoo based distributions 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.

On Gentoo based distributions we will install the dhcpcd package and
ensure the service starts at boot.  This service automatically sets
up all interfaces found via dhcp and/or dhcpv6 (or SLAAC).

Environment Variables
---------------------

DIB_DHCP_TIMEOUT
  :Required: No
  :Default: 30
  :Description: Amount of time in seconds that the systemd service(or dhclient)
   will wait to get an address. Should be increased in networks such as
   Infiniband.
  :Example: DIB_DHCP_TIMEOUT=300
