Hmm, actually thinking about this, I think this would end up being quite
complex, since networkd would then ultimately have to pass four bits
information to resolved, in individual fields: the manually
configured per-interface domain list + its resolve/search/all
settings + the dhcp supplied domain list + its resolve/search/all. I'd
really prefer if we simplify that, so that sd-network doesn't have to
have any dhcp-specific APIs, but instead would always combine the dhcp
data with the statically configured data and pass it as one to
resolved...
