35coreos-live: stop overriding NetworkManager-wait-online timeout to 5s
We originally did this in coreos#326 because we wanted to support booting the live ISO without networking. This was solved on the initramfs side by the conditional networking work (coreos#426). But for the real root, this was still useful because if booting the ISO interactively on a system without any network, or a non-DHCP network, we didn't want the user to have to wait until the service timed out before getting a shell. The core issue however is that we're requesting `network-online.target` at all. It's an "active unit" which means that it's only pulled in the transaction, possibly delaying boot, if another systemd unit needs it. And ideally, no service would need it as per: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/ In our case, this unit was fedora-coreos-pinger. We drop that requirement here: coreos/fedora-coreos-pinger#41 With that, we no longer pull in `network-online.target` and so no longer delay reaching the console even if NetworkManager isn't able to get an active connection for whatever reason. This matches how it works on traditional Fedora as well. Having a short timeout actually also had a counterproductive effect in the automated install case. There, `coreos-installer.service` does pull in `network-online.target` (which with coreos/coreos-installer#565 we could consider dropping as advised by systemd, though we probably should bump the number of retries some more in that case), but because of the short timeout, we genuinely may not yet have the network fully up before we run (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1967483). (cherry picked from commit dd54e8c)
