Bug Description
In networks that don't have a DHCP server configured, ipv4 address
allocation fails and the ipv4 structure doesn't get populated. When
the GUI is trying to read the ipv4_config.method field to see whether
it contains "dhcp" string, a segmentation fault is generated.
Steps to reproduce:
1. On a network that doesn't has a DHCP server configured, start
2. Go to Ethernet tag and hit Apply button for DHCP configurations.
3. Switch to System Configuration tag.
4. Switch back to Ethernet tag.

When using manual ip the ipv4_config structure has all fields populated
and this condition is skipped. The only case when the data structure
fields are NULL is when we have DHCP settings and for different reasons
network configurations are not done. In this case, connman automatically
renews the ipv4 configurations, but that takes a while. After this time
the structure gets populated and the application works as expected.
The patch prevents the unexpected quit.
