The network-legacy dracut module waits for all ethernet devices if the
command line contains rd.neednet=1. It also waits for the device
specified by 'bootdev='.
Do the same.

This adds capability to hand over the network configuration from
OpenFirmware (and potentially other boot loaders with openfirmware
support such as U-Boot) to NetworkManager.
It's done analogously to ACPI/iBFT. In fact, the same ip=ibft command
line option is used, adding a more general ip=fw alias. This probably
deserves some documentation, but I'm not adding any at this time.

New code we want to add LGPL licensed to make it easier to share code
between libnm and the daemon.
The code in question was only recently added in commit b544f7243d
("initrd: add iBFT reader") and mostly written from scratch by Lubomir.
Some parts were adapted from earlier ibft code.

This is loosely based on nms-ibft-reader, but with some significant
changes. Notably, it parses /sys/firmware/ibft directly instead of
iscsiadm output.
iscsiadm is not available on early boot (perhaps it's too large) and
turns out that parsing sysfs directly is easier and more
straightforwared anyways. A win-win situation.
It is not useful alone, it's in a separate commit just for the sake of
easier review.
