O-Subject: [RHEL-7.8/RHEL-8.1.0 cloud-init PATCH] Fix for network configuration not persisting after reboot
Bugzilla: 1706482

The reasons the configuration does not persist after reboot includes
different aspects and they're all fixed on this patch:

  1) The rpm package doesn't include the systemd-generator and
ds-identify. The systemd-generator is called early in the boot process
that calls ds-identify to check if there's any Data Source available in
the current boot. In the current use case, the Data Source is removed
from the VM on the second boot, this means cloud-init should disable
itself in order to keep the configuration it did in the first boot.

  2) Even after adding those scripts, cloud-init was still being
executed and the configurations were being lost. The reason for this is
that the cloud-init systemd units had a wrong dependency

     WantedBy: multi-user.target

     Which would start them every time no matter the return of
ds-identify. The fix is to replace the dependency by the systemd unit to
cloud-init.target, which is the main cloud-init target enabled - or in
this case, disabled by ds-identify. The file cloud-init.target was also
missing on rpm package.

After adding both scripts, the main cloud-init systemd target and
adjusting the systemd dependencies the configuration persists after
reboots and shutdowns.
