This series adds support for pinning the names of network interfaces
directly during the installation, for all of GUI, TUI and auto-installer.
There are also some smaller clean-ups and quality-of-life improvements
interspersed - to keep the patches for each part of the installer
together - in the series, which can also be applied
separately/beforehand if wanted.
Tested all combinations, i.e. for each of GUI, TUI and auto-installer,
installed with pinning disabled (checking for regressions) and with
pinning enabled at some custom interface names set.
The auto-installer changes can be tested by specifying e.g.
[network.interface-name-pinning]
enabled = true
[network.interface-name-pinning.mapping]
"ab:cd:ef:12:34:56" = "mgmt"
"12:34:56:ab:cd:ef" = "lan0"
in the answer file.
