[Bug 1734678] [NEW] A courtesy "autogenerated by casper" should be added to /etc/network/interfaces to disambiguate scripts genesis

[Lucien Murray-Pitts]

Public bug reported:

Most autogenerated files mention at the top where they have been autogenerated from.
The /etc/network/interfaces in a casper boot doesnt.

This could confuse the end user of a live cd, or the potential creator
of one trying to work out why interfaces arent being brought up.

Easy 1 line fix to add to the networking scripts

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/23networking:
  cat > "$IFFILE" <<EOF
  >> # Autogenerated by casper script 23networking
  # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  EOF
