>From a first glance, this feels like too large of a change for SRU. The
patches do maintain backward compatibility, but this is also a new
feature, which I think might be out of scope for SRU.
The upstream patches generalize and expand the fix, as they should, but
can we adapt a more limited patch to fix the immediate bug?

Preserve IPv6 configurations when `KeepConfiguration=dhcp-on-stop` is

Bug description:
[Impact]
The IPv6 configuration is being cleared even though `KeepConfiguration` is
set to `yes`, causing the iSCSI backend system to hang during shutdown.
[Fix]
Systemd upstream has addressed this issue.
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/34989
[Test Plan]
<Verify the functionality of KeepConfiguration in preserving IPv6
configurations>
1. Set up a machine with an iSCSI backend in an IPv6-only environment.
2. Configure the `KeepConfiguration` option for each network device
individually using drop-in configuration files (e.g.,
`/etc/systemd/network/*.network.d/*.conf`) or set the `"critical"` option to
`true` in the Netplan configuration.
3. Power off the machine and verify that the system does not hang.
<Verify the serialization and deserialization functionality in the
systemd-networkd service>
1. Enable debugging for systemd-networkd
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.service.d/
vim /etc/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.service.d/10-debug.conf
===
[Service]
Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug
===
systemctl daemon-reload
2. Restart the systemd-networkd service twice using the `systemctl restart
systemd-networkd` command.
3. Confirm that serialization and deserialization are functioning correctly
by checking `/var/log/syslog`

[Where problems could occur]
The patches introduce network serialization and deserialization behavior,
ensuring that DHCPv6 addresses are preserved when `KeepConfiguration=yes` is
set. If any regressions occur, error messages may appear when restarting
`systemd-networkd`, but they will be ignored. Both IPv4/IPv6 configuration and
the IPv6 connection may be affected.
