The NVMe Boot Firmware Table (NBFT) is a mechanism of passing context
from a pre-OS Boot environment to an OS runtime, as defined by the
NVM Express Boot Specification. Exposed as an ACPI table it contains
network interface definitions along with NVMe subsystem and namespace
data structures.
This adds new nm-initrd-generator parser that uses libnvme NBFT parser
implementation.

Add support for two new command line arguments:
- `rd.net.dns-backend` used to control the "dns" option in
NetworkManager configuration;
- `rd.net.dns-resolve-mode` used to control the "resolve-mode" in the
global DNS configuration.
The use case for them is the installation of a new system where the
administrator wants to configure aspects of the DNS resolution
starting from the early boot, for example to enable DNS over TLS and
avoid that any query goes out unencrypted.

Introduce a new kernel command line option named "rd.net.dns" that can
be used to specify a global name server. It accepts name server in a
URI-like form, as for example:
rd.net.dns=dns+tls://[fd01::1]:5353#mydomain.com
Add support for `carrier-wait-timeout` setting from kernel cmdline.
This will create a new `15-carrier-timeout.conf` file in
/run/NetworkManager/conf.d with the parameter value as specified.
The setting also inserts `match-device` to `*`, matching all devices.
NB: The parameter on kernel cmdline is specified in seconds. This is
done to be backwards compatible with with network-legacy module. However
the generated setting will automatically multiply specified value by
1000 and store timeout value in ms.

nm-initrd-generator scans the command line for options relevant to network
configuration and creates configuration files for an early instance of
NetworkManager run from the initial ramdisk during early boot.
