Links with link-local-only communication are typically peer-to-peer
links between two laptops or similar. In such cases it makes sense to be
able to see which device one is specifically connected to, hence let's
just enable LLDP for it. This doesn't leak any data really, given that
this is inherently local, and typically only used between isolated
systems that are under the same user's possession.
Background: I recently connected multiple laptops via thunderbolt networking
and was kinda annoyed not being able to see what system I was actually
talking to.
(Also, the file touched here is an example only anyway, so even if this
would leak too much info, it's not in effect by default)
This is name ".network.example" for now, to match the existing
80-ethernet.network file.
I think it would make sense to actually install this by default if told
so via a meson file (and then hopefully this would happen even on
Fedora, though in a split off RPM or so). However, we aren't there yet,
hence for now, just ship the .network files as example, like the others.
