2024-05-16ifupdown: T6038: Cleanup network config properlyzsdc
Cloud-init in environments where Meta-data is available via network configures the main interface and keeps the config in `/etc/network/interfaces.d/`. This config later interferes with the VyOS configuration. To avoid the problem previously the code in the `cc_vyos.py` module was used, but this is not enough. The module is running only once during instance deployment. But Cloud-init will re-add the config file with each boot. There are two ways to solve this incompatibility (within Cloud-init) - disable network config or perform cleanup during each boot. Disabling network config is not correct in this context, because it blocks the ability to fetch Meta-data after the first boot, which in turn blocks the ability to run per-boot modules with an updated config. Therefore, the cleanup code was extracted to an independent `cc_vyos_ifupdown.py` module that performs proper cleanup with each boot.
