Bug Description

Currently the 'network' stage is broken in curtin.
the network stage is currently running before 'extract' stage.
One of the modes of 'curtin net-meta' is 'copy'.

The word 'copy' here means "leave in-tact in the target". The implementation of that would only work for ENI style files. It would copy /etc/network/interfaces to OUTPUT_INTERFACES and then the curthooks stage would copy the OUTPUT_INTERFACES file into /etc/network/interfaces in the target.

It does seem reasonable to declare "leave the target intact", so we'd like to have that as a function, but it would require coordination with the curtin hooks.
