File 2312.patch of Package NetworkManager

Subject: [PATCH] systemd: install initrd services using a generator
Since both `NetworkManager.service` and `NetworkManager-initrd.service` are
allocated for the same bus name (`org.freedesktop.NetworkManager`) and this is
not allowed, the best option is to use a systemd generator to install them only
in the initrd, instead of setting fixed Install sections.
Fixes #1814
