Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Users which do not use a customized network configuration rely
     on curtin's fallback/automatic configuration.  On Xenial and newer
     systems the network configuration that is generated doesn't always
     work due to the persistent nic names which do not match between
     initial install environment and booting the system after
     installation.

     This affects all curtin releases which use auto configure
     networking and an Ubuntu release which uses persistent network
     device nameing.
     
   * This SRU resolves the bug by ensuring auto configured networking
     includes nic naming rules to ensure the network device names match
     what is generated in the config.

  
  [Test Case]

   * On a Xenial 16.04 system
      - % apt-get install curtin
      - % OUTPUT_NETWORK_CONFIG=rendered-eni curtin net-meta -t /tmp auto

  
    FAIL: Systems with the error will print an interfaces file to stdout

    PASS: Systems with the fix with emit host networking config to the file
          "rendered-eni" and produces no output to stdout.

  
  [Regression Potential]

   * Users that use auto configuration may find that the persistent nic
     names in the target system are no longer ethN, but named based on
     location.

  
  [Original Description]
  I ran
   nosetests3 -v tests/vmtests/test_basic.py:XenialTestBasic
  and was seeing failures.

  That does an install without network config, so it relies on 'net-
  meta' of 'auto'.

  The install worked, but boot failed as networking was not configured.

  The issue is that the net-meta was writing /etc/network/interfaces
  file, but no udev rules or other mechanism to ensure that the device
  got the same name in the new environment.  That, coupled with a change
  in the commands between 'launch' and 'xkvm' meant that the install
  environment named the device 'ens3' and the installed environment
  'ens4'.

  I'll attach logs just for completeness.
