The two new options make it possible to create the interface in one namespace
and move it to a different one, as explained at https://www.wireguard.com/netns/.
Previously each oneshot peer service only ran once and was not
restarted together with the interface unit. Because of this,
defined peers were missing after restarting their corresponding
interface unit.

This can lead to unnecessary failures if the kernel module is already
loaded:
Jun 06 12:38:50 chef bglisn9bz0y5403vdw9hny0ij43r41jk-unit-script-wireguard-wg0-start[13261]: modprobe: FATAL: Module wireguard not found in directory /run/booted-system/kernel-modules/lib/modules/4.19.36
Before, changing any peers caused the entire WireGuard interface to
be torn down and rebuilt. By configuring each peer in a separate
service we're able to only restart the affected peers.
Adding each peer individually also means individual peer
configurations can fail, but the overall interface and all other peers
will still be added.
A WireGuard peer's internal identifier is its public key. This means
it is the only reliable identifier to use for the systemd service.
As a oneshot service, if the startup failed it would never be attempted again.
This is problematic when peer's addresses require DNS. DNS may not be reliably available at
the time wireguard starts. Converting this to a simple service with Restart
and RestartAfter directives allows the service to be reattempted, but at
the cost of losing the oneshot semantics.

Ideally, private keys never leave the host they're generated on - like
SSH. Setting generatePrivateKeyFile to true causes the PK to be
generate automatically.
Wireguard is now split into two pretty much independent packages:
`wireguard` (Linux-specific kernel module) and `wireguard-tools`,
which is cross-platform.
This is more in line with what other services do; also looks cleaner.
It changes configuration entries for pre-and post-hooks type to lines from
lists of strings which are more logical for them; coersion is provided for
backwards compatibility.
Finally, add several steps to improve robustness:
1. Load kernel module on start if not loaded;
2. Don't remove wireguard interface on start; it is removed on service stop. If
it's not something is wrong.
Sometimes (especially in the default route case) it is required to NOT
add routes for all allowed IP ranges. One might run it's own custom
routing on-top of wireguard and only use the wireguard addresses to
exchange prefixes with the remote host.
Do the right thing, and use multiple interfaces for policy routing. For example, WireGuard interfaces do not allow multiple routes for the same CIDR range.
This adds a convenient per-peer option to set the routing table that associated routes are added to. This functionality is very useful for isolating interfaces from the kernel's global routing and forcing all traffic of a virtual interface (or a group of processes, via e.g. "ip rule add uidrange 10000-10009 lookup 42") through Wireguard.
It was deprecated and removed from all modules in the tree by #18319.
The wireguard module PR (#17933) was still in the review at the time and
the deprecated usage managed to slip inside.
