[Buildroot] [PATCH v4] set simple network setup via the system configuration submenu

This patch allows the setup of simple /etc/network/interfaces (or
/etc/systemd/network/80-buildroot.network if networkd is enabled) via the
configuration menus instead of using an overlay

* supports disabling the interface
* supports manual ipv4 configuration
* supports dhcp configuration

This patch is here to avoid having to do an overlay for the most common
cases (ipv4 with fixed IP or DHCP)

This is reduced to the bare minimum to cover the most common case. Anything
more complex can be done by using overlays instead.

I have not added the option to (de)activate persistant naming when networkd
is enabled because it logically belongs to the networkd package and not to
the simple network configuration
---
v4:
* correctly create /etc/systemd/networkd
* rework logic to simplify a bit
v3 :
* rename the script to a more generic name
* reorganized script to separate param verification from generation
* quoted params properly to protect against faulty params
* removed /etc/network/interfaces from skeleton
* reorganized options in configuration menu
* added networkd configuration support

v2 :
* moved to TARGET_FINALIZE
* removed support for lo. It should always be on.
* reworked default parameters
