The retry pass calls apply_configuration with lastchance=True, which only
NetworkManager accepts. It is unreachable today, since only NetworkManager
returns the 1 that fills the retry list, but it springs the moment either of
the others grows a return, or the retry selection is brought in line with the
first pass. Matching the signatures costs nothing.
Each of these loops rebinds the name that holds the iterable. They work
today because the iterable is evaluated once before the loop starts, but
the name is then gone, so any later use reads a loop item instead of the
collection.
- nodeinventory: `for arg in args` / `for arg in arg.split(',')`.
- confignet (common and debian copies): iname holds the comma separated
interface list and is then reused for each interface in it.
- xcc _get_agentless_firmware: adata holds the adapter query response and
is then reused for each adapter.
No behaviour change, just distinct names for distinct things.
Allow arbitrary per-connection network settings, such as static routes
or a firewalld zone, to be specified as semicolon-delimited key=value
pairs on a net.*.extra_settings attribute. The keys are passed through
to the network backend of the deployed OS in its native syntax: nmcli
properties on NetworkManager systems, netplan YAML paths on netplan
systems, and ifcfg variables on wicked systems.
