  Example: I'd like to add interface to proper firewalld "zone".
Ideally it could be done by networkd itself (it just one dbus call:
addInterface(in  s zone, in  s interface, …) based on new Zone=string
setting in .netdev file.
  Hook can determine which zone interface should belong to and call
firewall-cmd --zone=<zone> --add-interface=<interface>
