Tools: hv: Add an example script to retrieve dhcp state

To keep the KVP daemon code free of distro specific details, we invoke an
external script to retrieve the DHCP state. This is an example script that
was used to test the KVP code. This script has to be implemented in a Distro
specific fashion. For instance on distros that ship with Network Manager enabled,
this script can be based on NM APIs.

+# This example script retrieves the DHCP state of a given interface.

+# Input: Name of the interface

+# Output: The script prints the string "Enabled" to stdout to indicate
+#       that DHCP is enabled on the interface. If DHCP is not enabled,
+#       the script prints the string "Disabled" to stdout.
