Subject: articles: arch-installation: Use systemd networking

This switches from:

- NetworkManager
- chrony

to:

- systemd-networkd
- systemd-resolved
- systemd-timesyncd
- iwd

This reduces the required packages, moves to more minimal software and
allows convenient configuration based on simple text files.
