Description of the change

  Fix images built with empty resolv.conf. LP: #1712283
  After removing resolvconf from important, images started to build with
  /etc/resolv.conf that is a regular empty file. However, it should
  instead point at systemd-resolved stub-resolv.conf file. Thus force
  various build hooks/scripts/functions to make it so.

Actually no, systemd postinst should handle this similar to how resolv.conf does it.

Specifically, move /etc/resolv.conf out of the way to /run, and replace it with the actually desired symlink.

Most of the resolv.conf handling in livecd-rootfs doesn't require any knowledge of the policy of where /etc/resolv.conf should point. We should not change this. The target of /etc/resolv.conf should be set up by the systemd maintainer scripts, and livecd-rootfs should only need to manage the target on a temporary basis so that there's working dns resolution within the chroot as part of the build.

So most of these references should not be changed. And live-build/ubuntu-server/hooks/99-fix-resolvconf.chroot probably needs to be dropped completely - it should be superfluous under both resolvconf and systemd.

(And if it's *not* superfluous, we should fix *that* instead of having a hard-coded hack in livecd-rootfs.)
