LP:1936972 Ignore physical interfaces with locally administered addresses

It is increasingly common for systems to include a RedFish System
Interfaces which appears as a USB-connected network device. These NICs
don't have a universal MAC address, so Linux generates a random locally
administered MAC address for them on each boot. MAAS assumes all MACs
are a persistent property, so it generates curtin config for them. Curtin
errors out when it doesn't find an expected NIC, and that escalates to a
deployment failure.

Let's just detect and ignore any physical devices we discover during
commissioning with a locally administered MAC.
