This PR utilizes a new commission API from oxidecomputer/omicron#11143 that allows joining a second rack to another such that each can route DDM traffic to each other over front ports.

The interconnect_port code that utilized shell commands to configure interfaces and addresses on illumos was removed in favor of using the new commission API. This API results in sending a MultirackJoinRequest to the multirack join service. The join service then puts the RackNetworkConfig from the MultirackJoinRequest into the bootstore, which gets reconciled in the scrimlet reconcilers such that dpd creates the necessary ports and interfaces, and DDM FSMs are started for those newly created ports.

The interconnect ports qsfp2 and qsfp3 still have their configuration (PortConfig) automatically generated by voxel. It's just that that PortConfig is included in RackNetworkConfig and plumbed down via a MultirackJoinRequest now.

With this PR, and oxidecomputer/omicron#11143, and a proper 2 rack configuration voxel will end up running RSS on the first rack, and then automatically joining the second rack via the commission API.

The demo asciicast can be played in asciinema to show what occurs when both this PR and the omicron one are used in conjunction.

I've asked @nickelization to try to get this integrated, and would appreciate any help and guidance from @sion42x.
