On KDE the live-installer hangs when trying to open the GDM or MDM configuration file.
Checking for both these files for existence does prevent the hang on a KDM system.

Contrary to other desktops, live-installer does not remove the symbolic links in the /etc/rc*.d directories while KDE is running. I did not include it in this pull request because it might have to be resolved elsewhere (although you can do it in installer.py).

… wifi filter, doc nits)

linuxmint#4 [Low] discovery now genuinely excludes wifi from by-mac candidates: the
   ARPHRD_ETHER (type 1) check does NOT exclude wifi (wifi is type 1 too),
   so also skip interfaces with a sysfs wireless/ subdir. Comment fixed to
   describe what the check actually does.
linuxmint#5 [Med] discovery drops sentinel/placeholder DMI values (all-zero/all-FF/
   QEMU-default product_uuid; 'Default string', 'To Be Filled By O.E.M.',
   etc. product_serial) so a by-uuid/ or by-serial/ config can't match every
   defective unit in a fleet; the skip is logged.
linuxmint#6 [Low,docs] steer network examples to routes: [{to: default, via}] as the
   canonical default-gateway form; gateway4/6 documented as legacy.
linuxmint#7 [Low,docs] document that ambiguous NM matches are undefined — bind by MAC
   or a unique interface name; no autoconnect-priority is emitted.
linuxmint#8 [Low] document the TFTP client's RFC1350 size assumption (small files;
   use HTTP for large) and warn past 256 KiB. (Full RFC2347 negotiation
   remains queued.)
linuxmint#9 [Low,docs] document on_no_match's future intended values.

6 new tests (260 unit total).
