Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tasks/initscripts: Do not start network service

The network service from initscripts fails if there are network profiles
for unknown devices. Also it does not start an actual daemon but just
activates all profiles on disk. Therefore only enable it to ensure it
will come up after boot.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tasks/initscripts: Create /etc/sysconfig/network

The initscripts network service requires /etc/sysconfig/network to be
present. The file might be missing in container images, for example
currently in CentOS 7. It seems to be created by anaconda usually.
Therefore just create it if necessary as it can be empty.
