fetch DHCP leases from ```networkd```

[bhoopesh369]

See xPU sZTP provisioning block

today we pass lease file via cmdline arguments like this: --dhcp-lease-file /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient.leases.

for detecting this automatically using Network manger : https://github.com/opiproject/sztp/issues/418 but if detection through Network Manager doesn't work, we can then look through networkd same as the above

can we detect that info automatically from networkd over dbus?

It seems we can't get the lease info via dbus for systemd-networkd. Dbus does not expose the info. So the only way to to parse all the lease files present in the /run/systemd/netif/leases folder.

WDYT? @glimchb

The maximum info we can get via dbus is:

array [
      dict entry(
         string "OperationalState"
         variant             string "routable"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "CarrierState"
         variant             string "carrier"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "AddressState"
         variant             string "routable"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "IPv4AddressState"
         variant             string "routable"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "IPv6AddressState"
         variant             string "degraded"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "OnlineState"
         variant             string "online"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "AdministrativeState"
         variant             string "configured"
      )
      dict entry(
         string "BitRates"
         variant             struct {
               uint64 18446744073709551615
               uint64 18446744073709551615
            }
      )
   ]
