Daniel Hilst 279207cf0a fix(xcat-core): the legacy Genesis image for el10 carries no DHCP client
A compute node that boots the legacy Genesis image on el10 x86_64 never acquires an
address. Its serial console reports "/usr/bin/doxcat: line 293: dhclient: command not
found" and then "It seems to be taking a while to acquire an IPv4 address". The DHCP
server side is sound: Kea leases the address and the node never asks for it.

AlmaLinux 10 and EPEL 10 package no ISC dhcp-client. dracut_install reports a missing
binary and returns, so module-setup.sh named dhclient, the build kept going and the image
shipped without a client. doxcat then named dhclient at six call sites with no
alternative.

doxcat now chooses its client at run time. genesis_dhcp_command() returns the command
line for one interface and one address family, and genesis_start_dhcp() runs it and
reports when the image carries none. The ISC client keeps its command line where a
release packages it, so el8 and el9 are unchanged. Where it is absent, dhcpcd stands in:
AlmaLinux 10 baseos packages it at 236 KB, and it carries its own resolv.conf, hostname
and ntp hooks, so it needs no dhclient-script. dhcpcd on a single interface exits when
its 30 second timeout expires and de-configures the interface as it goes, so it is asked
for -t 0 and -p.

The dracut module installs whichever client the build root carries, together with the
hooks dhcpcd runs on every lease. The spec build-requires dhcpcd from rhel 10 on, and
verify-genesis-payload now requires usr/sbin/dhcpcd there, so an image that ships with no
client fails the build instead of reaching a node.

genesis_dhcp_client.t drives both routines with the clients shadowed by recording stubs.
It fails on the parent commit, and deleting the dhcpcd branch turns five of its
assertions red.
