Unconfigured network interface handling in GUI

Description

On a fresh system, It appears the default behavior is to configure all network cards to dhcp. I think this is a great idea, however, to make the experience even better for users:

Users expect to see their devices under the "network -> interfaces" tab whether they've been 'configured' or not. If an Ethernet adapter is recognized by freenas and set to DHCP in the backend, the interfaces tab should reflect that configuration from the beginning. Right now, devices do not appear in the menu selection unless they have been manually set in the GUI.

  • Priority changed from minor to major
  • Version changed from 8.0 Beta (r5606) to 8.0.3-RELEASE-p1

Raise the priority a bit, this seems to lead a lot of confusion for users.
