[Bug 1750884] Re: [2.4, bionic] /etc/resolv.conf not configured correctly in Bionic, leads to no DNS resolution

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

In terms of expectations on bionic:

1) /etc/resolv.conf should be a symlink to ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-
resolv.conf

2) The contents should point at `nameserver 127.0.0.53` and list search
domains, if any are available. I.e. the contents shown in the bug
description is correct.

3) The nameservers are now preferred to be on the per-interface basis,
thus e.g. nameserver should be declared on the interface that has the
default route. Indeed sending "global" configs is loss of information
about networking.

Bug description:
  When deploying Bionic, /etc/resolv.conf is not configured correctly,
  which leads to no DNS resolution. In the output below, you will see
  that netplan config is correctly to the 10.90.90.1 nameserver, but in
  resolv.conf that's a local address.

  Resolv.conf should really be configured to use the provided DNS
  server(s). That said, despite that fact, DNS resolution doesn't work
  with the local address.
