David reports that dhclient-script(8) on Fedora needs a number of
binaries that are not included in PROGS of the current mbuto profile,
and we would also need to include hostnamectl(1) there, which will
fail without a systemd init.
Embed a minimal script for dhclient(8) in the profile itself, written
to /sbin/dhclient-script at boot, to just check what we need to check
out of DHCP and DHCPv6 functionality.
While at it, drop busybox and logger from PROGS, as we don't need them,
and add hostname(1). While DHCP option 12 isn't supported yet by the
DHCP implementation in passt, we should probably add it soon.
Note: owing to the simplicity of this script, we now need to bring up
the interface before starting dhclient: add this in test scripts where
it's not the case yet.

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.

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.

I didn't have time to investigate the root cause for the virtio_net
TX hang yet. Add a quick work-around for the moment being.

That test fails sometimes, it looks like iperf3 is still sending
initial messages that are too big. I'll need to figure out why,
but given that 256 bytes is not really an expected MTU, drop the
thresholds to zero for the moment being.

The throughput results in this test look quite variable, slightly
lower figures look reasonable anyway.

With recent improvements, we're not CPU-bound at all while testing
UDP performance. Give the VM more memory and CPUs, forward two
additional ports, start up to four threads in parallel, and give
single iperf3 threads higher bandwidth targets.

On most recent CPUs, that's a better indication of all-core turbo
frequency, or non-turbo frequency, than /proc/cpuinfo.
