[klibc] ipconfig support for "any" interface vs "all"

The current "ipconfig -i any" option waits for all interfaces, however a
feature that I would really like is to continue after the first interface
that gets a valid configuration.
This is useful in the scenario where an (diskless) host with 2 or more
NICs giving redundant connectivity is being network booted. It is valid
to continue booting as long as at least one NIC is functional, in fact it
is *highly* desirable.
I would like to propose that the "-i any" be changed to implement this
behavior, and a new option "-i all" be added to continue to support the
current behaviour.
