discover/network: Ignore interfaces with pre-existing MAC address
Petitboot uses the MAC address of network interfaces as a unique identifier. This can cause a crash in pb-discover on a machine that has multiple interfaces with the same MAC address. While duplicate MAC addresses are rare and imply an issue with the larger system configuration Petitboot should handle this gracefully, so log a warning and ignore any interfaces other than the first to appear that share a MAC address.
