Bug Description

currently cloud-init is removing /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0.cfg .
This is because cloud-init now has a 'fallback' mode for getting configuration which should be superior to the statically written one by the image build process in all cases.

That said, still best to *not* delete the file.

This change is then 2 phased:
  a.) CPC not write that file on xenial in cloud images
  b.) cloud-init stop deleting it.
