Description
This enables link-local as a fallback to DHCP address resolution, using the new features of NetworkManager 1.52. Debian 13 (Trixie) and Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute) introduce the required updates to NetworkManager for this to work. Unlike #1550, this continues to timeout and retry DHCP while holding a link-local address, which should avoid breaking compatibility with DHCP servers that don't respond immediately.
Closes #1813, blocked on updating the images to have NM 1.52 or later.
