services: network-manager: Await for NetworkManager to finish starting up.

This is similar to its NetworkManager-wait-online.service systemd counterpart,
with the main difference being that we handle it all in 'networking symbol, rather than
introduce a new 'networking-online symbol. (see discussion #47253)

As a result of this change, with opensmtpd-service-type as an example,
manual 'herd restart smtpd' after system bootups are no longer required
when opensmtpd is configured with a smtpd.conf containing non-loopback interfaces.
(this issue is described in more detail at #60300)

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/60300>.

* gnu/services/networking.scm (network-manager-shepherd-service): Await for
NetworkManager to finish starting up.
