📄 Description

This commit adds ability to generate deterministic MAC address based on VM ID
and NIC ID. In case of frequent VM recreations via terraform or packer,
it reduces allocation of IP address from DHCP servers.

To use it, specify MAC address as "repeatable".

Tested via Terraform plugin. Assume that it works with Packer as well.
