Disable networking at runtime with lkmc_nonet cli instead of build

This is necessary because qemu and gem5 now use the same build folder. Separate ./run -e and -f for kernel options before and after the ' - '. This was already the better thing to do when -E was introduced, but lkmc_nonet prompted me to do it nicer now. Use the common script to find the out_dir on every toplevel script. Include usage man pages on README.
