ipconfig: add carrier_timeout kernel parameter
commit 3fb72f1e6e61 ("ipconfig wait for carrier") added a "wait for carrier" policy, with a fixed worst case maximum wait of two minutes. Now make the wait for carrier timeout configurable on the kernel commandline and use the 120s as the default. The timeout messages introduced with commit 5e404cd65860 ("ipconfig: add informative timeout messages while waiting for carrier") are done in a fixed interval of 20 seconds, just like they were before (240/12).
