Tom Gundersen e56cdb7ae2 networkd-wait-online: add timeout
Default to timing out after 120 seconds without a network connection. Setting a
timeout of 0 disables the timeout.

Tom Gundersen 79b1f37d95 networkd-wait-online: allow specific devices to be ignored
In addition to the loopback device, also explicitly configured devices to be ignored.

Suggested by Charles Devereaux <systemd@guylhem.net>.

Tom Gundersen 3a67e927e3 networkd-wait-online: improve interoptability and enable by default
To make sure we don't delay boot on systems where (some) network links are managed by someone else
we don't block if something else has successfully brought up a link.

We will still block until all links we are aware of that are  managed by networkd have been
configured, but if no such links exist, and someone else have configured a link sufficiently
that it has a carrier, it may be that the link is ready so we should no longer block.

Note that in all likelyhood the link is not ready (no addresses/routes configured),
so whatever network managment daemon configured it should provide a similar wait-online
service to block network-online.target until it is ready.

The aim is to block as long as we know networking is not fully configured, but no longer. This
will allow systemd-networkd-wait-online.service to be enabled on any system, even if we don't
know whether networkd is the main/only network manager.

Even in the case networking is fully configured by networkd, the default behavior may not be
sufficient: if two links need to be configured, but the first is fully configured before the
second one appears we will assume the network is up. To work around that, we allow specifying
specific devices to wait for before considering the network up.

This unit is enabled by default, just like systemd-networkd, but will only be pulled in if
anyone pulls in network-online.target.
