ccc52c8183 skeleton: optionally wait for network interfaces to appear
This patch has same purpose than 49964858f4:

  On some machines, the network interface is slow to appear. For example,
  on the Raspberry Pi, the network interface eth0 is an ethernet-over-USB,
  and our standard boot process is too fast, so our network startup script
  is called before the USB bus is compeltely enumerated, thus it can't
  configure eth0.

  Closes #8116.

However, wait-delay hook is enabled only if wait-delay property appears
in /etc/network/interfaces. This patch enable it automaticaly when
interface is configured through DHCP at bootup. But, if user choose
to write /etc/network/interface himself, he have to explicitly
set wait-delay.

f4f62a3c16 Allow a single DHCP configuration via the system configuration submenu
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

6c3e3ad419 New top-level directory: system
This directory groups the following elements:
 * the default root filesystem skeleton
 * the default device tables
 * the Config.in options for system configuration (UART port for
   getty, system hostname, etc.)
 * the make rules to apply the system configuration options

Even though the skeleton and device tables could have lived in fs/, it
would have been strange to have the UART, system hostname and other
related options into fs/. A new system/ directory makes more sense.

As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which
has become useless in the process.

[Peter: fixup TARGET_SKELETON settings / documentation to match]
