Thomas Haller 5778bc6a34 device: add configuration option to mark devices as unmanaged
We already have various ways to mark a device as unmanaged.

1) via udev-rule ENV{NM_UNMANAGED}. This can be overwritten via D-Bus
  at runtime.

2) via settings plugin. That is NM_CONTROLLED=no for ifcfg-rh and
  keyfile.unmanaged-devices in NetworkManager.conf.

3) at runtime, via D-Bus. This is persisted in the run state file
  and persists restarts (but not reboot).

This adds another way via NetworkManager.conf file. Note that the
existing keyfile.unmanaged-devices (above 2) is also a configuration
optin in NetworkManager.conf. However it has various downsides:

  - it cannot be overwritten at runtime (see commit
    c210134bd5).

  - you can only explicitly mark a device as unmanaged. That means,
    you cannot use it to manage a device which is unmanaged due to
    a udev rule.

  - the name "keyfile.*" sounds like it's only relevant for the keyfile settings
    plugin. Nowadays the keyfile plugin is always loaded, so the option applies
    to NetworkManager in general.
