[PATCH] boot: guard net in global.boot.default behind CONFIG_NET

[PATCH] boot: guard net in global.boot.default behind CONFIG_NET

[Ahmad Fatoum]

If CONFIG_NET is disabled, there is little reason to have net in
global.boot.default, so omit it in that case.

CONFIG_NET on its own is not sufficient for net to work by default (ifup
and TFTP are needed in the default case), but we don't want to reflect
all the script dependencies in Kconfig.
