commit 7703aa98b89c8daba207c28a0422268ead10019a

    Use Network-Manager and Netplan as default renderers for RHEL and Fedora (#1465)

    This is adapted from Neal Gompa's PR:
    https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/1435

    The only difference is that we are not modifying renderers.py (thus
    modifying the priority of all distros), but just tweaking cloud.cfg to
    apply this change to Fedora and RHEL. Other distros can optionally
    add themselves afterwards.

            net: Prefer Netplan and NetworkManager renderers by default

            NetworkManager is used by default on a variety of Linux distributions,
            and exists as a cross-distribution network management service.

            Additionally, add information about the NetworkManager renderer to
            the cloud-init documentation.

            Because Netplan can be explicitly used to manage NetworkManager,
            it needs to be preferred before NetworkManager.

            This change is a follow-up to #1224, which added the native
            NetworkManager renderer.
            This patch has been deployed on Fedora's cloud-init package throughout
            the development of Fedora Linux 36 to verify that it works.

            This should also make it tremendously easier for Linux distributions
            to use cloud-init because now a standard configuration is supported
            by default.
