Joachim Wiberg 221fea13a2 netd: watch conf.d with inotify, retry on backend failure
Two races could prevent DHCP-learned default routes from being installed
at boot:

1. The signal from the DHCP client script could be lost leaving conf.d
   updated but frr.conf stale.

2. Even when the signal was received, 'vtysh -b' could fail because the
   FRR daemon chain (mgmtd→zebra→staticd) writes PID files before being
   fully operational, causing netd to give up with no retry.

Fix both by refactoring netd to use libev:

- Use an inotify watch of CONF_DIR, so netd reacts directly to file
  changes without depending on signal delivery.

- On backend_apply() failure, schedule a retry in 5s and call pidfile()
  unconditionally so dependent services are not blocked waiting for the
  Finit condition 'pid/netd' to be satisfied.

We also take this opportunity to rename /etc/netd/conf.d/ to /etc/net.d/
The extra /etc/netd/ directory level served no purpose — nothing else
lives there.  Flatten to /etc/net.d/ which reads more naturally as the
drop-in directory for network configuration snippets.

Also, reduce logging a bit since each netd backend already logs success
or fail which is sufficient to know that a configuration change has been
applied or not.

Finally, with the new inotify processing in netd it's redundant to call
'initctl reload netd' from the udhcpc script, in fact it will only cause
unnecessary overhead, so we drop it.

Fixes #1438
