Description
Add a (default: true) option for setting the ams net id dynamically at runtime based on the current IP address.
This remains (default: false) for the vms for backcompat.
Built on top of #17 and includes the commits from that PR
Motivation and Context
An issue was brought up in the review that it'd be great to use these scripts to help us avoid ams net id collisions. This also goes a step further and helps us never need to manually set an ams net id ever again.
How Has This Been Tested?
Interactively I verified that this pulled the correct ams net id for the test plcs and that the non-dynamic mode could still be used.
