DataSourceOpenStack fails when first interface attached doesn't have dhcp enabled

# Bug report DataSourceOpenStackLocal is not clever enough to try all available interfaces, and because of that it can fail when given interface without dhcp enabled. This makes metadata service unavailable, and in turn yields instance without configuration. Expected behaviour: cloud-init tries interfaces until it hits one that can reach dhcp, or until it runs out of available interfaces, and only then fails. ## Steps to reproduce the problem - create private network in openstack, ensure dhcp is not enabled - create instance with interface in above network, and with public interface. order matters here. nova will attach interfaces in order provided, this replicates only when no-dhcp interface is provided first ## Environment details - Cloud-init version: 25.2-0ubuntu1~24.04.1 - Operating System Distribution: Ubuntu 24.04 - Cloud provider, platform or installer type: Openstack ## cloud-init logs ``` 2026-03-09 08:55:20,599 - ephemeral.py[DEBUG]: No connectivity URLs provided.
