helpers/openstack: Treat unknown link types as physical

Some deployments of OpenStack expose link types to the guest which
cloud-init doesn't recognise. These will almost always be physical, so
we can operate more robustly if we assume that they are (whilst warning
the user that we're seeing something unexpected).
