A job to check static IP address

[Kristin Chuang]

[Request]
While the job ethernet/check-{{ interface }}-static-configuration[1] exists, it does not check if the IP address given to that ethernet interface is expected or not.

We would like to request for either a new case that checks the IP address, or have the above case modified to also check correctness of IP address.

[Expected Usage]
1. Configure the expected IP address through plainbox.conf/checkbox.conf (something like STATIC_IP_ADDRESS=xxx.xxx.xx.xx)

2. Include this job into a test plan by replacing {{ interface }} with the interface that has static IP configured, e.g. ethernet/check-enp1s0-static-configuration (if using the example of the existing ethernet/check-{{ interface }}-static-configuration case)

3. When this case is run, it will compare the IP address of that certain interface with the IP address set in the configuration file. If they match then the case passes.
