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.
