Susant Sahani d9c52fa045 networkd: add support for bond options
The following bond options are supported by this patch.

MIIMonitorSec:
Specifies the frequency in milli-seconds that MII link
monitoring will occur.

UpDelaySec:
Specifies the delay time in milli-seconds to enable a link
after a link up status has been detected.

DownDelaySec:
Specifies the delay time in milli-seconds to disable a link
after a link failure has been detected.

changes:
1. Added gconf variables.
2. man page

conf:

<title>Description</title>
<para>Network setup is performed by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>Virtual Network Device files must have the extension
<filename>.netdev</filename>; other extensions are ignored. Virtual
network devices are created as soon as networkd is started. If a netdev
with the specified name already exists, networkd will use that as-is
rather than create its own. Note that the settings of the pre-existing
netdev will not be changed by networkd.</para>
<para>The <filename>.netdev</filename> files are read from the files located in the
system network directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>,
the volatile runtime network directory
<filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local administration
network directory <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>.
All configuration files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order,
regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with
identical filenames replace each other. Files in
<filename>/etc</filename> have the highest priority, files in
<filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with the same
name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to override a
system-supplied configuration file with a local file if needed; a symlink in
<filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a configuration file in
<filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>,
disables the configuration file entirely.</para>
