Support `networkd-dispatcher`

Sergio Durigan Junior requested to merge sergiodj/nss-pam-ldapd:support-networkd-dispatcher into master

I realized that the nslcd.if-up script could be easily adjusted to also support networkd-dispatcher-style scripts.

Ubuntu uses systemd-networkd and is working towards supporting networkd-dispatcher instead of ifupdown. I'd like to proposed this MR so that Debian can also benefit from this.

The idea is simple: after adjusting the existing script, we just have to install it into the /usr/lib/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d/ directory. I chose to create a link in order to avoid duplication.

I did a quick test inside an Ubuntu VM with the new version of the package. I brought the network interface down and then up, and here's the log:

Oct 12 18:31:34 nslcd-impish systemd-networkd[526]: enp5s0: Link UP
Oct 12 18:31:34 nslcd-impish systemd-networkd[526]: enp5s0: Gained carrier

Oct 12 18:31:34 nslcd-impish networkd-dispatcher[2257]:    ...done.

As can be seen, nslcd is successfully notified by networkd-dispatcher that the interface is up.
