dracut: fix broken network module, again
#### Testing the changes
- I tested the changes in this PR: **by thought experiment**

@classabbyamp I know this is patch is undesirable from a long-term maintenance standpoint because the days of `network-legacy` are numbered. Upstream should really do something about dispatching to the right network backend on systemd-free systems, but for now, we can at least make things work. Please offer comments and let me know if this resolves issues relating to mklive.

@zdykstra If you are interested in attaching your name to this package, I'd be happy to add it here and know that somebody knowledgeable and invested will claim responsibility.

A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/41721.patch is attached

+The `network` module tries to pick a default network backend based on the
+availability of executables used by those backends, but Void removes those that
+depend on systemd. This patch preserves the "use a given backend if it's
+included in the image" because modules that aren't installed should never be
+included, but replaces the default with network-legacy.
