[NETDEV] Add notion of link state

Add ability for network devices to flag link up/down state to the
networking core.

Autobooting code will now wait for link-up before attempting DHCP.

IPoIB reflects the Infiniband link state as the network device link state
(which is not strictly correct; we also need a succesful IPoIB IPv4
broadcast group join), but is probably more informative.
