Daniel Hilst 05fc81f7b5 fix(subiquity): three values the Ubuntu install path accepts and cannot use ...

The boot flip in compute.subiquity.tmpl addressed port 3002. xcatd's install
monitor listens on site.xcatiport, so a cluster that moves the port loses the
flip and every node PXE-loops back into the installer. The flip now reads
site.xcatiport and keeps 3002 as the default. TABLEBLANKOKAY, because the key is
optional and a plain TABLE lookup of an absent key fails the whole template.

The flip also counted any reply as an accepted request. It now requires the
monitor's "ready" greeting before it sends "next", and "done" afterwards, so a
different service on that port is not read as a flipped node.

subiquity_nfsroot_server in debian.pm called getipaddr without a family. A
dual-stack management node answers with its IPv6 address, and casper takes
everything after the first colon in nfsroot= as the path, so the live filesystem
never mounts. It now asks for IPv4, as dhcp.pm and mknb.pm do.

The DNS setup wrote the xcatmaster name as a nameserver when getent found no
address, which is the case the step exists to prevent. It now keeps the
resolv.conf DHCP gave the live installer.

ubuntu_subiquity_boot_flip.t, debian_subiquity_boot_params.t and
ubuntu_resolvconf_ip.t fail on the parent commit and pass here.
