Add boot option pnet (Predictable Network Interface Names)

We plan to use Predictable Network Interface Names by default. To make that switch easier we added a new boot option "pnet". The kernel command line option "net.ifnames=0" is currently in every boot option (except "pnet") but should be removed when Predictable Network Interface Names works for us. See: grml/grml#127
