When kickstarting systems via a profile cobbler does not expose mac_address or ip_address
variables to kickstart templates. This patch fixes that. This eliminates the need to add
systems into cobbler via `cobbler system add` but still allows for templates to use MAC or
IP addresses as input.
The use case that drove this is the following:
Customer wants to have a single kickstart template for all machines (F11 in this case).
The system specific kickstart data lives in an external database (LDAP). Customer would
prefer to not have to register all systems to cobbler, but instead to pull kickstart data
from LDAP at time of PXE.
