Problem:
Guest OS customization fail for ubuntu 22.04 desktop in vsphere due to  adding 'shutdown.target' in file /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.socket

Analysis
Compared with Ubuntu 21.04 desktop image, there is a difference in /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.socket, "shutdown.target" is added to Before and Conflicts options.

Ubuntu 22.04
  [Unit]
  Description=Network Service Netlink Socket
  Documentation=man:systemd-networkd.service(8) man:rtnetlink(7)
  ConditionCapability=CAP_NET_ADMIN
  DefaultDependencies=no
  Before=sockets.target shutdown.target
  Conflicts=shutdown.target
Ubuntu 21.04
  [Unit]
  Description=Network Service Netlink Socket
  Documentation=man:systemd-networkd.service(8) man:rtnetlink(7)
  ConditionCapability=CAP_NET_ADMIN
  DefaultDependencies=no
  Before=sockets.target

After removed "shutdown.target" from /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-
networkd.socket in ubuntu 22.04 desktop, this issue did NOT reproduce
since systemd-networkd.service starts much earlier

So the root cause of the issue is that adding 'shutdown.target' leads
systemd-networkd.service starts late which makes customization command
'/usr/sbin/netplan apply' fail.

Not sure why adding 'shutdown.target' to file
/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.socket ?
