[bug#29117] Static networking vs Open vSwitch

[Marius Bakke]

Hello Guix,

When using static-networking-service with OpenvSwitch-managed
interfaces, shepherd will often attempt to start the static interface
configuration before the virtual interface has been created by OVS,
requiring manual intervention after boot.

This first patch allows arbitrary services to override 'requirement' in
<static-networking>; the second adds some tests for Open vSwitch,
including whether static-networking started successfully on a virtual
interface.

Marius Bakke (2):
  services: networking: Add a dependency override mechanism to
    <static-networking>.
  tests: networking: Add tests for OpenvSwitch.
