Legacy Genesis excludes every secondary interface with IFF_UP, even when firmware only raised it and no address is configured. Let eligible interfaces join the existing secondary-interface DHCP path when they are physical, not enslaved, unaddressed, and not owned by the TSM or IMM management paths. Existing DOWN interfaces keep their prior path.
Recovered from the unmerged lenovobuild branch (original 9a1381f6), adapted to leave preconfigured and management-owned interfaces untouched.

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.
