core: fall back to loading all known settings plugins

Currently it is possible to specify a list of default settings plugins
to be used when configuration doesn't contain the main.plugins key.

We want to add a mechanism that allows to automatically load any
plugin found in the plugins directory without needing
configuration. This mechanism is useful when plugins are shipped in a
different, optional subpackage, to automatically use them.

With such mechanism, the actual list of plugins will be determined
(in order of evaluation):

 1. via explicit user configuration in /etc, if any
 2. via distro configuration in /usr, if any
 3. using the build-time default, if any
 4. looking for known plugins in /usr/lib

* libnm: add new dummy crypto backend "null" that does nothing.
* Veth devices with name "eth*" are now managed by default via the
udev rule. This is to support managing the network in LXD containers.
* When the list of plugins is not specified via "main.plugins" in
NetworkManager.conf and no build-time default is set with
"--with-config-plugins-default" configure argument, now all known
plugins found in the plugin directory are loaded (and the built-in
"keyfile" plugin is preferred over others).
