The default network configuration is DHCP and was also applied to the
loopback interface. This resulted in the loopback interface being in a
"managed" state in networkd and sometimes caused the IP address to be
deconfigured, resulting in errors when something tries to make use of
the loopback interface, like resolved

Exclude the loopback interface from the default configuration to make
it "unmanaged".
