This setting, already in use in newnet, allows the user to control
whether network interfaces are stopped when the system shuts down. By
default, under newnet, they are not, so I am making oldnet have the same
default.
A side-affect of this is that in the default configuration this fixes
bugs like the one below.

rkhunter thinks OpenRC is a rootkit because of the hidefirstrout
variable. This has been renamed to hideFirstroute in order to get past
rkhunter.
I realize this is not an openrc bug. In this case though I do not have a
problem renaming the variable.

For devices that are always connected (e.g. ethernet cards), the current
carrier always wastes time by sleeping for 1 second. This is because the
code sleeps first, then checks for carrier. Invert the order so that we
return quickly for devices already active. For devices which are not yet
up, there shouldn't be any real difference.

Some types of interfaces do not have a carrier, so it doesn't make sense
to automatically wait for one.

I was informed that "provide net" should mean that there is network
communication outside the local computer. In this case, the loopback
interface can't "provide net", but there needs to be a way for other
processes to know that the loopback interface is active.
To this end, this commit makes the loopback "provide lo" and all other
interfaces "provide net".
This reverts commit 6d5a2d5f9e.
There are interfaces, such as adsl and ppp interfaces which need to be
brought down. Also, the WOL setting is a good case for bringingdown
interfaces.
In the case of a single line of configuration, where the address has
parameters, the parameters were being treated as seperate addresses.
Eg:
config_eth0="4321:0:1:2:3:4:567:89ab/64 nodad home preferred_lft 0"
Also document usage of parameters in the net example, and note that
multiple addresses on a single line cannot be mixed with parameters.
Newlines are required to seperate the addresses.

The program function in depend blocks is now able to search paths by
itself. If passed multiple arguments or multiple calls, at least one of
the arguments passed must be a program or a shell builtin (eg ip built
into busybox). If a qualified path is specified, only that path will be
checked, otherwise it will be checked as a builtin, then $PATH will be
checked for the named binary (via type).

Some of the networking tools, such as iproute2, can be stored in one of
several locations. This function gives us a standard way to find these
tools.
I would like to thankRobin Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> for his input on
this function.
Historically, we have tried to up interfaces before running preup, so
that the kernel setups up the device and makes things like ethtool work
(some hardware cannot be correct probed until then). However this ends
up breaking other hardware, so a variable has been introduced to allow
the up prior to preup to be disabled: up_before_preup_IFVAR=no

A new helper function (_array_helper) since both, the _flatten_array and
_get_array function share partially the same code.
We also reduce multiple whitespace to a single space, remove leading newlines
as well as skipping "empty" lines.
This makes the data returned by _{flatten,get}_array much nicer than before.
It also fixes bug 366677 where net-tools having trouble with the whitespace
mentioned above. iproute2 was not affected.

Currently, we allow the use of bash arrays for some configuration settings.
This is undocumented, so I want to remove the support from openrc.
The first phase of this removal will be this commit which adds warnings
to encourage people not to use bash arrays.

This is being done because these dependency changes caused a regression.
We will need to revisit the previously mentioned bug.

For most situations, the loopback interface can depend on root instead
of localmount, so this patch makes that happen. It also adds comments to
the net.example files explaining when a user might want to change this
and giving an example.
I would like to thank Robin Johnson for the original patch and suggested
examples.

Add support for optional fallback_routes_* variables in the network scripts.
This is similar to the fallback_route_* support in baselayout-1.
However, if you do not have fallback_routes set for an interface but you
do have routes set, that setting will be used, so you do not need this
variable unless you want the fallback routes to be different from the
primary routes.

OpenRC version is now stored as plaintext in /libexec/rc/version
Plugins (cursplash, splashutils) will have to be re-compiled to pickup
the new directories. State data needs to be moved from /lib/rc/init.d
to /libexec/rc/init.d as well.
