core: device: allow to change the admin state of the device in SetManaged()

Control it with a new NM_DEVICE_MANAGED_SET_ADMIN_STATE flag.
This flag will make that, at the same time that the device is moved to
managed/unmanaged, it's admin state is set to up/down. Many users want
to have a way to have their devices in a DOWN admin state when they are
not using them. Because of the complex activation process, NM wants to
have its devices in UP state all the time. However, it is not a problem
to have it DOWN if we are not managing it.
