Not compatible with Gnome 3.24.2 #60

I cannot activate "Connection manager" in Gnome 3.24.2. (Fedora 26) It tells me "error loading extension". If you require any further information, tell me how I can provide it.

The error is coming from the use of the .quote() method which is not part of the standard and apparently has been removed or disabled in GNOME 3.24. I got it working again by replacing all calls to the method with the JSON.stringify() function (e.g. foo.quote() becomes JSON.stringify(foo)).

I was going to submit a PR, but I see there's already one that includes that as well as several other changes -- #59. So if you delete the extension, download the full tree of that PR and drop it in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/connectionmanager2@ciancio.net/, the extension should work again.
