WireGuard: (WIP) add WireGuard connections to the VPN page #302

This merge would add WireGuard connections to the VPN page and implement issue #286.

At the time of writing it supports the following:

The reason I'm marking this request as WIP is, that as of now the following things have not been implemented:

The included nm-connection-editor (in Elementary OS 6 beta 1) has no support for WireGuard, and thus editing and creating connections is not yet possible using this approach.

Two possible solutions would be to either:

I'd love to see your feedback on this suggested merge and your input.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your work!

I allowed myself to look at your code and rebased it on master (instead of merging master in it: it is more clear what code we did). Then I just make some refactoring. You can see it here: https://github.com/milouse/switchboard-plug-network/tree/wireguard

I compile it against libnm 1.32.12 on archlinux and confirm this code is working and allow one to edit a previously created wireguard config. Thus only thing blocking now is creating a new connection through the gui, what is an upstream problem imho. As soon as they will allow it, it will be taken into account here.

Closing this, as by the work of others this has been finally completed and merged, as seen in pull request #338.
My thanks for cleaning it up and bringing it up to date with the main branch.
