This patch allows the setup of simple a single interface to be
automatically brought up and configured via DHCP on system startup.

The interface name can be set via a configuration option. This patch
does not support systemd-networkd, any complex network configuration should
be done via overlay of /etc/network/interfaces or the relevant networkd
configuration file

v3 : - move the condition from shell logic to make logic
       (reusing the code proposed by Thomas Petazzoni)

v2 : - inline shell section instead of providing a script
     - add one Config.in option instead of two

Tested with uClibc, successfully built different rootfs.ext images and
booted them.
Tested with master branch, x86_64 arch in QEMU, internal toolchain GCC
4.9.2 w/ uclibc, Linux 3.18.1.

I recommend maybe adding a dependency in Config.in later for package
ifupdown (not yet merged, proposed by Gustavo), if no Busybox is present in
the system.

Regards,
Karoly

I wouldn't go as far as selecting ifupdown, but possibly depending on
BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX | BR2_PACKAGE_IFUPDOWN because the option will
always be "set" (it's a string) and you can't do that easily.
That way the option will vanish if there's no proper provider of
ifupdown which is the interpreter of /etc/network/interfaces.
Of course busybox may lack ifupdown for custom configs, but that's the
case for so many things (a shell, for example) that we can't cover weird
scenarios in a sane way, and it might just be intended.
Other than that:

(qemu-arm-versatile-defconfig default busybox init and systemd).
