[PATCH 0/2] network: add externally managed profiles

[Matthias Kurz <m.kurz@irregular.at>]

Add [Settings].ExternallyManaged for network profiles whose contents are
owned by another network manager.

This is intended for setups where an external manager writes iwd profile
files so iwd can read the connection parameters, but the external manager
remains the source of truth for the file contents and secret storage
policy.  In that case iwd should not rewrite the profile as a side effect
of normal network operation.

When ExternallyManaged=true is set, iwd still reads the profile and can use
it for connection setup, but skips profile writes during normal network
operation.  Explicit profile removal through KnownNetwork.Forget remains
available.

This works for handcrafted profiles and for profiles mirrored by another
manager such as NetworkManager.
