configure_networking: Configure IPv4 or IPv6 based on iBFT IP address

iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) can provide the network configuration
that is needed to boot over iSCSI. The iBFT can contain IPv4 or IPv6
addresses. local-top/iscsi calls `configure_networking`. The default
behaviour of `configure_networking` is DHCPv4 on all available
interfaces (if ip= and ip6= are not set). If iBFT provides IPv6
addresses and no DHCPv4 server are running, `configure_networking` will
only try DHCPv4 and run into a timeout.

Placing the single line "ISCSI_AUTO=true" into
/etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs, or use the kernel boot line option
"iscsi_auto" will configure the network devices based on iBFT, but the
code in `local-top/iscsi` will assume that the addresses are IPv4.

If neither `ip=` nor `ip6=` are specified on the kernel cmdline, set the
`IP` and `IP6` parameter for `configure_networking` based on the IP
address provided by iBFT.

Use 3cpio for unmkinitramfs/lsinitramfs if available

Since Ubuntu 23.10 the initrd consists of 4 embedded cpio:

- amd microcode
- intel microcode
- firmware + kernel modules
- rest (compressed)

There is no archive size header for cpio, so unmkinitramfs has to parse
headers of each entry in uncompressed archives.

Use 3cpio in case it is installed.

Relax miniramfs breakage to << 1.0.2ubuntu1~

miniramfs 1.0.2ubuntu1 already fixes the initramfs-tools breakage. Relax
the miniramfs breakage declaration. This relaxation can be dropped in
Ubuntu 25.10.

hook-functions: Print error message on copy_file failure

Print an error message when copy_file cannot find the source file. This
will ease debugging in cases of failures like LP #1641230.
