Dan Prince f58f859303 Only configure DHCP for real interfaces 
Updates the generate-interfaces-file.sh script in
the dhcp-all-interfaces element so that we only
add interfaces that have real MAC addresses.

The generate-interfaces-file.sh script is run early enough
in the boot process (before OVS is initialized) that this
isn't usually a problem unless you execute it manually by hand
after booting. Then you'll end up with network/DHCP
configs for all of your OVS bridges, etc. This
patch avoids configuring all of the virtual interfaces
which have generated MAC addresses.

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/generate-interfaces-file.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.
