[BUG] `docker-compose up` fails after removing a diverged network

[andrii-telesh-readdle]

Description

The network config change detection that introduced in PR #12267 has a problem recreating containers using docker-compose up command. The method removeDivergedNetwork /pkg/compose/create.go:1398 stops the containers, removes network and then it is trying to start the container.

Actual behavior
Container failed to start.

$ docker-compose up -d
[+] Running 1/2
 ⠦ Container diverged-network-alpine-test-1  Starting 0.8s 
 ✔ Network diverged-network_default          Created 0.0s 
Error response from daemon: failed to set up container networking: network 4ee23502aca6e08e3df03d63d383dfc0412fb077caba3ba0e8776c4c2523f073 not found

Expected behavior
Container started successfully.

$ docker-compose up -d
[+] Running 2/2
 ✔ Container diverged-network-alpine-test-1  Started   0.3s 
 ✔ Network diverged-network_default          Recreated   

Steps To Reproduce

1. Use the next docker-compose.yaml file

name: diverged-network
services:
  alpine-test:
    image: alpine:latest
    command: [ "sh", "-c", "trap 'exit 0' SIGTERM; while true; do echo 'Alpine container running...'; sleep 1; done" ]

networks:
  default:
    labels:
      foo: bar

2. Start the stack

$ docker-compose up -d
[+] Running 2/2
 ✔ Container diverged-network-alpine-test-1  Started   0.3s 
 ✔ Network diverged-network_default          Created   

3. Update docker-compose.yaml file

name: diverged-network
services:
  alpine-test:
    image: alpine:latest
    command: [ "sh", "-c", "trap 'exit 0' SIGTERM; while true; do echo 'Alpine container running...'; sleep 1; done" ]

networks:
  default:
    labels:
      foo: baz # updated here

4. Up the stack again

docker-compose up -d
[+] Running 1/2
 ⠦ Container diverged-network-alpine-test-1  Starting 0.8s 
 ✔ Network diverged-network_default          Created  0.0s
