install: Don't require the network by default

The `Wants=network-online.target` predates the osmet work which enabled
the now default fully offline install flow.

It also predates the addition of fetch retries. So even in an online
flow, now that we retry HTTP requests indefinitely, we don't really
need this.

Let's follow best practices and stop pulling in `network-online.target`.

We still need to keep pulling in `NetworkManager.service`
though. It's enabled by default in `multi-user.target` but not
`coreos-installer-post.target` (which is what we boot to in an automated
install).

NetworkManager is capable of handling offline environments just fine and
won't block the install just because a connection isn't available (yet
or ever).
