Bug description:
  Ubuntu Core 16 images using cloud-init fail to function when the
  DataSource is over the network (Like OpenStack) as networking is not
  yet available when cloud-init.service runs.

  cloud-init service unit deps look like this:

  [Unit]
  Description=Initial cloud-init job (metadata service crawler)
  DefaultDependencies=no
  Wants=cloud-init-local.service
  Wants=local-fs.target
  Wants=sshd-keygen.service
  Wants=sshd.service
  After=cloud-init-local.service
  After=networking.service
  Requires=networking.service
  Before=basic.target
  Before=dbus.socket
  Before=network-online.target
  Before=sshd-keygen.service
  Before=sshd.service
  Before=systemd-user-sessions.service
  Conflicts=shutdown.target

  Here's networkd unit deps:

  [Unit]
  Description=Network Service
  Documentation=man:systemd-networkd.service(8)
  ConditionCapability=CAP_NET_ADMIN
  DefaultDependencies=no
  # dbus.service can be dropped once on kdbus, and systemd-udevd.service can be
  # dropped once tuntap is moved to netlink
  After=systemd-udevd.service dbus.service network-pre.target systemd-sysusers.service systemd-sysctl.service
  Before=network.target multi-user.target shutdown.target
  Conflicts=shutdown.target
  Wants=network.target

  # On kdbus systems we pull in the busname explicitly, because it
  # carries policy that allows the daemon to acquire its name.
  Wants=org.freedesktop.network1.busname
  After=org.freedesktop.network1.busname

  And a critical-chain output:

  root@snap-test7:~# systemd-analyze critical-chain systemd-networkd
  Failed to get ID: Unit name systemd-networkd is not valid.

  cloud-init would need networkd to run at or before
  'networking.service' so it can raise networking to then find and use
  network-based datasources.

  SRU INFORMATION FOR systemd
  ===========================
  Fix: For xenial it is sufficient to drop systemd-networkd's After=dbus.service (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/5f004d1e32) and (for xenial only) drop the useless org.freedesktop.network1.busname unit (which is always "condition failed" as there is no kdbus, but it moves systemd-network.service after sockets.target which is too late for cloud-init).

  Regression potential: Low. networkd is not widely being used outside of netplan/snappy in xenial. Running it before dbus.service is running has two consequences:
   - It cannot immediately expose its D-Bus status interface. But it will retry every 5 s until that succeeds, so the D-Bus status interface will continue to work. (see test case)
   - If a DHCP response with a hostname or timezone is received before dbus.service is running, it cannot talk to systemd-hostnamed/systemd-timedated to set these properties (if enabled). However, this is broken in xenial anyway as it fails on polkit permissions (this and retrying this configuration after D-Bus is up has been fixed in upstream master now).

  As for removing the "*.busname" units in xenial: kdbus has never been
  part of any distribiution, there had just been some experimental DKMS
  package in some PPA for it. It's dead as an upstream project, so by
  dropping the *.busname unit(s) from xenial there should be no
  practical effect as these should always not start with "condition
  failed". Yakkety's systemd already has them removed.

  Test case:
   - Install nplan, set up a netplan configuration and remove /etc/network/interfaces.
   - Upgrade to the proposed packages.
   - Ensure that the network is still functional and "busctl" shows org.freedesktop.network1, i. e. networkd successfully connected to the bus.
   - Check the journal that systemd-networkd.service starts before dbus.service, which should usually be the case with this fix. Check "journalctl -b" for "Started Network Service." vs. "Started D-Bus System Message Bus."

    If it repeatedly starts the other way around, you can force it with "sudo systemctl edit systemd-networkd.service" and
     [Unit]
     Before=sysinit.target

    (This is effectively what cloud-init.service will do soon.)
