Add a way to display the profile name instead of the essid #271

I have quite a few WiFis saved on my computers and use the NetworkManager's Profile feature to identify them, could this be added to the network module as a format replacement?

I've looked a little bit into this, and from what I can tell waybar isn't using at all NetworkManager's informations. Would rewriting the module to support NetworkManager's stuff be the way to go? Or maybe create a separate module only supporting NetworkManager, so that systems without dbus/NetworkManager could still have some network informations displayed?

Updating the current module to only use partially NetworkManager looks like a really messy way of doing it.
