  Offline install results in empty /etc/netplan, which stalls boot for

Bug description:
  I did an offline install of plucky 25.04 server on a laptop. I
  unplugged the network cable, and didn't configure wifi.

  The installation finished, but first boot, and subsequent boots, were
  delayed by 2min+, waiting on systemd-networkd-wait-online.service.

  Further inspection showed that /etc/netplan was completely empty. Not
  surprising to me, as no network was configured during installation,
  but having the system still waiting for a network in this case was
  surprising.

  Creating the following file in /etc/netplan made boot fast again:

  $ cat /etc/netplan/01.yaml
  network:
    version: 2
    ethernets:
      <nic-name>:
        optional: true

  This looks similar to
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/2063331, but I opted to file
  a new bug because that one is "fix committed", and the user did
  configure one nic at least in that bug.
