Bug Description

Curtin's tests that derive from CentosTestNetworkMtuAbs (Centos66TestNetworkMtu and Centos70TestNetworkMtu) are currently not working.

That can be reproduced in curtin's vmtest with:
  ./tools/jenkins-runner -p4 tests/vmtests/test_metwork_mtu

or more directly
  ./tools/jenkins-runner \
     tests/vmtests/test_network_mtu.py:Centos66TestNetworkMtu \
     tests/vmtests/test_network_mtu.py:Centos70TestNetworkMtu

In particular, this tests covers setting different MTUs for interfaces which may have IPV6 configurations which need an IPV6_MTU setting; while IPV6_MTU is supported, if the IPV6_MTU value is higher than the device MTU, the IPV6_MTU setting won't be value (the device will break up the v6 packets at the lower MTU). In Ubuntu, there's some additional logic added to raise the underlying device MTU to match the IPV6_MTU. This logic is not present in sysconfig scripts at this time.
