Bug Description

[Impact]

 * Curtin produced a configusing 'success' message when failying to apply
   a provided network configuration.

   Curtin has been updated to ensure that if 'apply_net' commands fail
   the return code is propagated up to the invocation and no longer
   prints both a success and failure message when a failure occurs.

[Test Case]

 * Install proposed curtin package and run the command
   - # curtin apply_net -t target -c bad.yaml

  PASS: Curtin does not emit successful message:
        'Applied network configuration successfully'

  FAIL: Curtin emits both
        'Applied network configuration successfully' and
        'failed to apply network config'

[Regression Potential]

 * Users of apply_net cli command may have examined the output of the
   command which is now modified, as well as the return code.

[Original Description]

When apply_net fails, the user both a fail message and a success message.. a bit confusing.

root@x1:~# curtin apply_net -t target -c bad.yaml
Applying network configuration
failed to apply network config

Note the emitting of messages

"failed to apply network config"
AND
"Applied network configuration successfully"

Really a minor issue.
