Change kernel cmdline 'ip=::::<hostname>' back to 'ip=dhcp'

ip=dhcp is handled specially in the initramfs code, and essentially magically gets us behavior of setting DEVICE = BOOTIF parameter.

There is no other way to do this that I can see.  Removing 'ip=::::<hostname>' means we are losing the ddns functionality that we nearly got for free under bug 1046405.
