When a node boots from an InfiniBand interface, doxcat could not match BOOTIF
to the netdev, so boot-nic detection failed. Load ib_ipoib and, if the normal
Ethernet lookup finds nothing, fall back to matching the InfiniBand device by
its (shorter) IPoIB address.
modprobe ib_ipoib is harmless where there is no IB hardware (the module simply
loads no devices), and the IB lookup only runs when the Ethernet lookup fails,
so non-IB nodes are unaffected.
Not lab-validated (no InfiniBand fabric available; the SR635's Mellanox card is
in Ethernet mode).
Recovered from the unmerged lenovobuild branch (aeeebd5f).

For each secondary NIC in NICSTOBRINGUP, doxcat backgrounds a loop that polls
`ethtool $nic` until the link reports "detected: yes" before running dhclient.
A NIC that is never connected keeps that loop (and its `sleep 5`) running for
the life of the genesis environment, leaking background shells and needlessly
churning.
Add a second exit condition so each loop also stops once /tmp/netinitted
exists, and touch that file once the boot NIC has completed network init. A
link that never appears no longer waits indefinitely.

* Add ondiscover support for chain table
* For ondiscover, run nextdestiny after the current operation is done
* Don't set OpenPower server boot from network if boot
RH7/Centos7 and recent versions of fedora relocate `/*bin/*` into `/usr/*bin/`. This causes
conflicts for upgrades against xCAT-genesis-scripts-* packages which expect the `/bin` a to be
a directory while `xCAT-genesis-base-*` packages provide a link. Relocating all files into `/usr`
fixes that conflict and allows a clean upgrade from all old versions.
