net: add renderers for automatically selecting the renderer.

Previously, the distro had hard coded which network renderer it would
use. This adds support for just picking the right renderer based
on what is available.

Now, that can be set via a priority in system_info, but should
generally work. That config looks like:
 system_info:
   network:
     renderers: ["eni", "sysconfig"]

When no renderers are found, a specific RendererNotFoundError is raised.
stages.py is modified to catch that and log it at error level. This
path should not really be exercised, but could occur if for example an
Ubuntu system did not have ifupdown, or a rhel system did not have
sysconfig. In such a system previously we would have quietly rendered
ENI configuration but that would have been ignored. This is one step
better in that we at least log the error.
