e48373382f Use dhclient instead of udhcpc
For some reason, the passt/pasta tests and examples use dhclient for
DHCPv6, but in most cases use udhcpc for DHCPv4.  Change it to use dhclient
for both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6.  This means one less tool we need for testing,
plus dhclient is easily available on Fedora whereas udhcpc is not.

Note that the passt tests still rely on udhcpc indirectly because mbuto
wants to put it into the guest images it generates.

ca0c33ae5b Tweak dhclient arguments for readability
A number of tests and examples use dhclient in both IPv4 and IPv6 modes.
We use "dhclient -6" for IPv6, but usually just "dhclient" for IPv4.  Add
an explicit "-4" argument to make it more clear and explicit.

In addition, when dhclient is run from within pasta it usually won't be
"real" root, and so will not have access to write the default global pid
file.  This results in a mostly harmless but irritating error:
    Can't create /var/run/dhclient.pid: Permission denied
We can avoid that by using the --no-pid flag to dhclient.

2320ac3349 Don't abbreviate ip(8) arguments in examples and tests
ip(8)'s ability to take abbreviated arguments (e.g. "li sh" instead of
"link show") is very handy when using it interactively, but it doesn't make
for very readable scripts and examples when shown that way.
