  Description     : generate a rescue system network configuration script

gen-rescue-netscript generates a shell script to configure a rescue system's
network according to the current network configuration of the running system.
It inspects that configuration via ip(8) --json output and emits a standalone
POSIX sh script that recreates it, for use e.g. when booting a rescue image
and needing to bring the same box back onto the same network without DHCP
being available or wanted.
