Link-local support allows the bootloader to get a usable network address
regardless of network environment.  Given that bootloaders may not always
have access to a DHCP server, this functionality makes accessing it in
those environments easier.  It is also referred to as zero-configuration IP.

Tested on da850_am18xxevm
Tested on MPC8313ERDB_33

This is dependant on the "Network stack refactoring" patch-series.

This is a portion of the changes split from the series:
