Extend autoinstall(8) feature:
- Ask for responsefile location (url or local path) if dhcp discovery fails for location or mode. If 'next-server' is found in dhcp lease file, provide a default url http://next-server/install.conf. - Ask for installer mode if the specified response file name does not match *install.conf or *upgrade.conf. - If present, use /auto_install.conf or /auto_upgrade.conf as response file for unattended installation or upgrade. - Automatically start installer in unattended mode if either one of these files is present when the system boots. - Document changes in manpage and installation notes.
