Bug description:
  In https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/1771740, the ability to set
  the offload options that are exposed by systemd.link was added.
  Unfortunately, the implementation only allows setting the offload
  options to true. Setting the options to false results in nothing being
  written to the generated .link file, because "false" is treated the
  same as "unset" by netplan.

  See the current implementation
  https://git.launchpad.net/netplan/tree/src/networkd.c#n260.

  netplan needs to handle three different values for the offload
  options: "true", "false", and "unset"

  (I have a specific case in mind,
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118721, where I need to
  set TSO to off when using the e1000e driver. The current netplan
  implementation does not support that; as a workaround I created a
  separate .link file in /etc/systemd/network to disable TSO.)
