Support 'manual' iface type in debian based systems
Description
Currently 'dhcp' or 'static' are supported, allow for an interface to come online and have an IP assigned. In the case where you would want to instantiate a bond and tag it on a VLAN, but not have an IP address assigned, you would use `iface bond0 inet manual`.
A complex example would be setting up interfaces to bonds
auto enp6s0f0
iface enp6s0f0 inet manual
bond-master bond0
auto enp129s0f0
iface enp129s0f0 inet manual
bond-master bond0
auto enp6s0f1
iface enp6s0f1 inet manual
bond-master bond1
auto enp129s0f1
iface enp129s0f1 inet manual
bond-master bond1
Then configuring the bonds
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
bond-mode 4
bond-miimon 100
bond-lacp-rate 1
bond-slaves enp6s0f0 enp129s0f0
auto bond1
iface bond1 inet manual
bond-mode 4
bond-miimon 100
bond-lacp-rate 1
bond-slaves enp6s0f1 enp129s0f1
Then adding tagged sub-interfaces to these bonds
auto bond0.10
iface bond0.10 inet manual
vlan-raw-device bond0
auto bond1.20
iface bond1.20 inet manual
vlan-raw-device bond1
Then setup bridges to host container networks
# Control Plane Traffic
auto mgmt
iface mgmt inet static
bridge_stp off
bridge_waitport 0
bridge_fd 0
bridge_ports bond0.10
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
# Allow Containers to TAG traffic
auto vlan
iface br-vlan inet manual
bridge_stp off
bridge_waitport 0
bridge_fd 0
bridge_ports bond1

The networking setup snippet for Debian based distros is lacking these features: https://github.com/theforeman/community-templates/blob/develop/snippets/preseed_networking_setup.erb
Although the topic is coming up on the mailing lists and IRC every few months, nobody from the community has implemented this, yet... The kickstart netwotrking setup snippet is feature complete and could be used a base for this.
