Public bug reported:

LP#1571004 made it so that networking is applied on the first boot of an
instance.  This makes sense in some cases, but not in others.  In the
case of Joyent's cloud, there is a need to support network
reconfiguration on reboot.

The proposed approach is to add a new metadata key 'maintain_network'.
This will default to False.  When set to True, network settings will be
applied PER_ALWAYS.  SmartOS will begin to support the
sdc:maintain_network key in its metadata service.

The SmartOS change is being tracked at
https://smartos.org/bugview/OS-6902 .
