Bug description:
  === Begin SRU Template ===
  [Impact]
  When cloud-init sees 'ip=' on the kernel command line, it will take
  the networking configuration that is written by the ipconfig tool,
  and convert it into the proper network config for the system
  (/etc/network/interfaces).

  This works well for the 'ip=dhcp' and 'ip=dhcp6' cases, but did not
  work correctly for the "statick" path with a command line like:
     ip=<client-ip>::<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:device:...

  Cloud-init would stack trace when trying to bring up this networking
  resulting in a system that did not boot properly.

  [Test Case]
  The basic idea below is:
   a.) launch an instance with proposed version of cloud-init.
   b.) inside instance, use cloud-init's net library to convert
       'net-eth1.cfg' into a different format, and the render that format
       using cloud-init's trunk tool 'net-convert.py'

  ## launch an instance.
  $ release=xenial
  $ ref=$release-proposed
  $ lxc-proposed-snapshot --proposed --publish $release $ref
  $ lxc launch $ref $name
  $ lxc exec $ref $name /bin/bash

  ## get render tool
  % wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1691135/+attachment/4888001/+files/bug-1691135.sh -O bug-1691135.sh
  % sh ./bug-1691135.sh

  ## if that runs to completion, then it will show the /etc/network/interfaces
  ## file and the netplan etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml file.
  ## if it fails it will stack trace.

  As seen in the upstream commit, the change is in a very focused path,
  only changing something when the protocol was 'static'.

  [Regression Potential]
  Potential for regression would be limited to the 'ip=' command line path.

  === End SRU Template ===

  As reported by user niluje, if the initramfs tools write a config that
  has static networking, then cloud-init would not populate the address
  field in its rendered network config (_klibc_to_config_entry).

  The result would be incomplete or invalid configuration, and attempt
  to render that configuration would result in stacktrace due to
  KeyError.

  This can be seen in trunk with the net-convert tool as below.  Editing
  the yaml and uncommenting the 'address' line will work.

  $ cat /tmp/foo.yaml
  network:
    version: 1
    config:
     - name: eth1
       type: physical
       subnets:
        - 'type': 'static'
          'broadcast': '10.0.0.255'
          'control': 'manual'
          'gateway': '10.0.0.1'
          'dns_search': ['foo.com']
          'netmask': '255.255.255.0'
          'dns_nameservers': ['10.0.1.1']
  #        'address': '10.0.0.2'
  EOF
