Support network boot via USB Ethernet adapters

Michael Prokop requested to merge mika/usbnet into master

Recent generations of notebooks quite often no longer provide Ethernet NICs, so booting via USB Ethernet adapters is often the only option there.

Without the net/usb kernel drivers in the initramfs, it's not possible to boot via PXE/network boot using a USB Ethernet adapter.

By not excluding the "usb" directory from auto_add_modules()'s "net" handling, we include the necessary net/usb drivers.

Closes: #980788
