[Chad Smith <chad.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The proposal to merge ~chad.smith/cloud-init:azure-no-ifupdown into cloud-init:master has been updated.

Commit Message changed to:

azure: Don't bounce network with ifdown ifup when those tools don't exist

This fixes a traceback when attempting to bounce the network after
hostname resets.

In artful and bionic ifupdown package is no longer installed in default
cloudimages.  As such, Azure can't use those tools to bounce the network
informing DDNS about hostname changes. This doesn't affect DDNS updates
though because systemd-networkd is now watching hostname deltas and with
default behavior to SendHostname=True over dhcp for all hostname updates
which publishes DDNS for us.

This branch also fixes two use-cases unhandled by the prerequisite branch:
  - In lxc's ip -o link list returns interface alias information such as
    eth0@if37 which needs to be truncated as we try to complete network
device information
  - In Azure, host target routes and gateways need to be handled
