    Description:


    This update to sysconfig resolves the following issues:

    * In the network initialization script, do not check
    the renamed-flag when the udev daemon is not running. This
    is common inside Linux Containers (LXC) and caused failures
    to start the network.
    * In the ifup-bridge script, apply STP constrains when
    STP is enabled.
    * In the ifrenew-dhcp script, use dhcp client's
    (dhcpcd) built-in option --renew to renew leases.
    * In the ifup-route script, do not force a dummy
    gateway for multicast routes (bnc#754154) and use the -4/-6
    options correctly.
    * Differentiate ib, ibchild and bond types and stop
    ib-bond interfaces correctly.
