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.

note that we need to bring up the interface before starting dhclient
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.

With a recent 5.15 kernel, passing a huge window size to iperf3 with
lower MTUs makes iperf3 stop sending packets after a few seconds --
I haven't investigated this in detail, but the window size will be
adjusted dynamically anyway and not passing it doesn't actually
affect throughput, so simply drop the option.

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