Dear Maintainer,
Here's a one line patch that fixes system startups for dnsmasq, when
dnsmasq has dhcp service conigured for a bridge interface.

This happens because The default systemd unit only marks a Requires= on the
network.target. As per the systemd documentation, requirement
dependencies do not influence the order in which services are started
and stopped. This has to be configured independently with the
After=/Before= options
With this patch, dnsmasq starts as usual during system boot-up.
