Use the existing random_ether_addr() instead of cooking up my own
version. Pointed out by Dave Hollis and Jason Lunz.

Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the
command line. This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces
up before assigning IPs to them. The previous pattern of assigning an IP then
bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned.
However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so
the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0.
Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated. We use the
microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to
seed the random number generator. random() is called twice, with 16 bits of
each result used. I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally
given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536
and use 16 bits of each random() return.
There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

Do precise error handling: print precise error messages, distinguishing short
reads and read errors. This functions fails frequently enough for me so I
bothered doing this fix.

This is a bunch of compile fixes provoked by building UML with gcc 4. There
are a bunch of signedness mismatches, a couple of uninitialized references,
and a botched C99 structure initialization which had somehow gone unnoticed.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
