[Bug 2090848] [NEW] generate runs on every daemon-reload

[Danilo Egea Gondolfo]

Public bug reported:

The "generate" binary creates a "stamp" file in /run/systemd/generator
which it intends to check later and, if it exists, prevent the
regeneration of the configuration.

At some point this trick stopped working as the files from this
directory are being deleted by systemd. That means that the netplan
generate binary will run on every daemon-reload and regenerate all the
configuration.

We should consider moving the stamp file to a place where it will
persist until the next reboot, such as /run/netplan.
