Jérôme Pouiller 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.
