Ensure system_cfg read before ds net config on Oracle (SC-720) (#1174)

In 2c52e6e88b19f5db8d55eb7280ee27703e05d75f, the order of
reading network config was changed for Oracle due to initramfs
needing to take lower precedence than the datasource. However,
this also bumped system_cfg to a lower precedence than ds, which
means that any network configuration specified in /etc/cloud will not
be applied. system_cfg should instead be moved above ds so network
configuration in /etc/cloud takes precedence.
