Presenting Wicked Network Configuration

Wicked provides a new framework for network configuration and is a replacement for the `ifup` family of scripts. The Wicked framework uses a client/server and layered approach to the problem of network configuration. This allows Wicked to define standardized facilities for things like address configuration that are well integrated with the overall framework, and are layered on top of device specific services. Interprocess communication between the Wicked client and backend services such as the main Wicked daemon process is carried out via dbus.
