Dear Maintainer,

If a system uses systemd-networkd to configure networking, but wants
to use ntp to sync time, ntp & networkd should integrate with each
other to reconfigure ntp with timeservers that are discovered by
networkd (either configs or DHCP).

To achieve this I'm proposing to add .path systemd unit that monitors
and triggers dhcp-enter-hook to be rerun whenever systemd-networkd
state changes and create an updated dhcp.conf in the /run.

Regards,

Dimitri.
