Historically there were plenty of callback based implementations around
ifupdown via /etc/network/if-up and similar. NetworkManager added the
dispatcher [1] feature for such a kind of functionality.
But so far a systemd-networkd (only) systemd had no means to handle those
cases. This is solved by networkd-dispatcher which is currently available
at least in ArchLinux and Ubuntu.
It takes away the responsibility to listen on netlink events in each
application and provides a more classic script-drop-in interface to respond
to networkd events [3].
This commit makes the NM example compatible to be used by NetworkManager
dispatcher as well as by networkd-dispatcher. That way we avoid too much
code duplication and can from now on handle special cases in the
beginning so that the tail can stay commonly used.
After discussion on IRC the current check differs by checking the
argument count (only in NetworkManager), if ever needed we could extend
that to check for known custom environment vars (NetworkManager =>
CONNECTION_UUID; networkd-dispatcher => OperationalState).

When no default route is configured, check each source if it has a
route. If the system has multiple network interfaces, this prevents
setting local NTP servers to offline when they can still be reached over
one of the interfaces.
