nixos/tinc: remove ordering dependency on network.target
This allows configuring IP addresses on a tinc interface using networking.interfaces."tinc.${n}".ipv[46].addresses. Previously, this would fail with timeouts, because of the dependency chain tinc.${netname}.service --after--> network.target --after--> network-addresses-tinc.${n}.service (and network-link-…) --after--> sys-subsystem-net-devices-tinc.${n}.device But the network interface doesn't exist until tinc creates it! So systemd waits in vain for the interface to appear, and by then the network-addresses-* and network-link-* units have failed. This leads to the network link not being brought up and the network addresses not being assigned, which in turn stops tinc from actually working.
