Currently test/run uses wildcards to run all of the tests in a directory.
However, that wildcard list is filtered down by the "onlyfor" directives
in the test files... usually to a single file.

Therefore, just explicitly list the files we *really* want to run for this
test mode.  This makes it easier to see at the top level what tests will
be executed, and to change that list temporarily while debugging specific
failures.

This means the "onlyfor" directive no longer has any purpose, and we can
remove it.  "onlyfor" was also the only used of the $MODE variable, so we
can remove that too.

<title>Use dhclient instead of udhcpc</title>

For some reason, the passt/pasta tests and examples use dhclient for
DHCPv6, but in most cases use udhcpc for DHCPv4.  Change it to use dhclient
for both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6.  This means one less tool we need for testing,
plus dhclient is easily available on Fedora whereas udhcpc is not.

Note that the passt tests still rely on udhcpc indirectly because mbuto
wants to put it into the guest images it generates.

<title>Tweak dhclient arguments for readability</title>

A number of tests and examples use dhclient in both IPv4 and IPv6 modes.
We use "dhclient -6" for IPv6, but usually just "dhclient" for IPv4.  Add
an explicit "-4" argument to make it more clear and explicit.

In addition, when dhclient is run from within pasta it usually won't be
"real" root, and so will not have access to write the default global pid
file.  This results in a mostly harmless but irritating error:
    Can't create /var/run/dhclient.pid: Permission denied
We can avoid that by using the --no-pid flag to dhclient.

<title>Don't abbreviate ip(8) arguments in examples and tests</title>

ip(8)'s ability to take abbreviated arguments (e.g. "li sh" instead of
"link show") is very handy when using it interactively, but it doesn't make
for very readable scripts and examples when shown that way.
