Bug description:
  [Impact]
  subiquity and other nplan users may need to include DNS information when setting up a system.

  [Test case]
  1) set up a system with a netplan configuration including the nameserver: key for an interface, such as the following:

  network:
    ethernets:
      enxb827ebd3f20f:
        addresses: [192.168.0.200/24]
        nameservers: 192.168.0.10
    version: 2

  Verify that the nameserver settings are properly installed to the
  system (see /etc/resolv.conf or /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf)

  [Regression potential]
  Existing configurations that do not include nameserver configs should continue to work as-is; without nameserver data if using static addresses, or with the nameserver data retrieved from DHCP.

  [Original bug report]
  There's no way to setup DNS info for static IP configuration, which leads to broken name resolution:

  fgimenez@localhost:~$ cat /etc/netplan/00-snapd-config.yaml
  # This is the network config written by 'console-conf'
  network:
    ethernets:
      enxb827ebd3f20f:
        addresses: [192.168.0.200/24]
    version: 2
  fgimenez@localhost:~$ ping www.ubuntu.com
  ping: unknown host www.ubuntu.com
  fgimenez@localhost:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
  #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN

  Selecting DHCP config from console-conf all works fine:

  fgimenez@localhost:~$ cat /etc/netplan/00-snapd-config.yaml
  # This is the network config written by 'console-conf'
  network:
    ethernets:
      enxb827ebd3f20f:
        addresses: []
        dhcp4: true
    version: 2
  fgimenez@localhost:~$ ping www.ubuntu.com
