Overall size change for the whole series:

i.e. 121 kb.
Structured initialization is used a bit more.
There were two kinds of log messages: about failed size calculations and
about failed appends to the message. I "downgraded" the first type to log_debug,
and moved the latter to the caller. This way there should be at most one high-priority
message.
I also changed sizeof(<type>) to sizeof(var) — there is less chance of select-and-paste
error in the second form.
All the detailed logging is replaced by a simple "Failed to create netlink message",
which should be enough for the user in the unlikely case that this ever fails.
This commit is the first in the series, and they generally follow the same
idea: we had very detailed logging for message append operations which would
only fail either with some type error or intrinsic limit (and then they would
fail everywhere, so this would be noticed during development or in CI), or they
would fail with ENOMEM, in which case the exact location is not very interesting
since this is not repeatable.
I am in general in favour of detailed logging messages, because it helps with
diagnosis of errors, but I think case is an exception. Despite not being very
useful, those messages required a lot of effort, because they were customized
for each and every append operation. In fact some of the messages contained copy
errors. The text of the messages (since they are generally unique) also added up
to a considerable size.
This removes the log messages after each sd_netlink_message_append_*() in
fill_message_create() with a single line in netdev_create(). As described
above, we are just appending fields to a message, so those calls would almost
never fail.
A forgotten 'return' was added in one place.

… so we save 30k too.
But handle them gracefully. Otherwise, when the route to the address is
being configured, kernel refuse the route.
Note that kernel's wireguard module handle e.g. 192.168.10.3/24 as
192.168.10.0/24.
Fixes#21929.
link_address_is_dynamic() is costful in general. Call it only when
KeepConfiguration= is set.
Note, it is not necessary to check link->network in the loop, as we have
the assertion for that in the beginning of the function.
The meson default for static_library() are:
build_by_default=true, install=false. We never interact with the
static libraries, and we only care about them as a stepping-stone towards
the installable executables or libraries. Thus let's only build them if
they are a dependency of something else we are building.
While at it, let's drop install:false, since this appears to be the default.
This change would have fixed the issue with lib_import_common failing
to build too: we wouldn't attempt to build it.
In practice this changes very little, because we generally only declare static
libraries where there's something in the default target that will make use of
them. But it seems to be a better pattern to set build_by_default to false.
