Libguestfs - Sep 2021 - [PATCH v1] appliance: add reboot and netconfig for SUSE

systemd-sysvinit contains the reboot command, which is used to
properly stop the VM. This was required by other packages, and as a
result always available. Since Leap 15.3 it will not be installed, and
as a result the VM will just panic because /init died.

If the appliance is started with --network, dhclient will run
/usr/sbin/dhclient-script, which in turn may call /sbin/netconfig to
update /etc/resolv.conf. Install sysconfig-netconfig to make sure DNS
resolving actually works.
