networkd: turn UnicastFlood on by default
Looking at the kernel commit, "on" seems to be the default value: commit 867a59436fc35593ae0e0efcd56cc6d2f8506586 Author: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Date: Wed Jun 5 10:08:01 2013 -0400 bridge: Add a flag to control unicast packet flood. Add a flag to control flood of unicast traffic. By default, flood is on and the bridge will flood unicast traffic if it doesn't know the destination. When the flag is turned off, unicast traffic without an FDB will not be forwarded to the specified port. ... and it seems to be the reasonable thing to do by default.
