[Bug 1982218] [NEW] wait-online does not correctly identify managed links

[Mike Kasick]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu's packaging of systemd-networkd-wait-online includes a patch
(UBUNTU-wait-online-exit-if-no-links-are-managed) intended to exit if
none of the present links are managed by systemd-networkd.  However, the
patch fails to identify links in the "configuring" state, which implies
they are managed, but not yet fully online.  This undermines the purpose
of systemd-networkd-wait-online with the --any option, since at the time
the systemd-networkd-wait-online service is started, managed links are
_likely_ in a configuring, but-not-yet-configured state.

Please see the attached patch.  Thanks!
