It is pretty common use case for a network device to be configured
as DHCP client but having some fallback static IP address where it
would be reachable for, e.g., configuration.

This reacts on udhcpc events and sets/removes ipaddr which is
configured on an iface from network config.
This means that for an interface with proto set to dhcp but with
fallback static IP disabled (ipaddr parameter is not set in config)
cost of this feature is one uci call.
If static fallback is enabled (ipaddr is present) then the cost is
3 uci calls and one ip call for each deconfig/renew/bound udhcpc
event.
It is not nothing but to me it seem like it's a very small overhead
for such a convenience and I think it should be OpenWrt default at
least for targets with one ethernet port.

Here's my take on this patch:

1. The feature should be opt-in via an extra config option, since it changes the behavior in a meaningful way that might be problematic for some users. 2. IP addresses should be set from within netifd, e.g. via the same mechanism that the dhcp script uses to bring up the interface. 3. IP settings should not be read directly from uci, but passed down from the netifd proto handler, e.g. via env vars.
