network-link-*.service: Set stopIfChanged = false

This reduces the time window during which IP addresses are gone during switch-to-configuration. A complication is that with stopIfChanged = true, preStop would try to delete the *new* IP addresses rather than the old one (since the preStop script now runs after the switch to the new configuration). So we now record the actually configured addresses in /run/nixos/network/addresses/<interface>. This is more robust in any case. Issue NixOS/nixops#640.
