If networkd is compile-time disabled then the directory should go away
too.

If networkd is compile-time enabled but its split-off binary package
not installed then the directory should exist however, since the user
might install the package later at which time clients using
sd-network should magically start to work. But that they can only if
the dir already exists which they can place their inotify watch in.
