* Added support for configuring fq_codel line discipline and mirred action.
* Added a possibility for distributions to ship dispatcher scripts in /usr/lib.
* Drop deprecated setting "main.monitor-connection-files" in NetworkManager.conf.
This setting has no more effect and was disabled by default for a long time.
This setting now has no more effect and was disabled by default for a long time.
Instead, after changes load files explicitly with `nmcli connection load` and
`nmcli connection reload`.
* Rework parsing team JSON config in libnm and stricter validate settings.

still allowing setting arbitrary JSON config directly.
* Drop ibft settings plugin. This functionality is now covered by using
nm-initrd-generator from initrd to pre-generate in-memory profiles.
* Support "suppress_prefixlength" attribute for policy routing rules.
* Rework implementation of settings plugins and how profiles are presisted
to disk.
* In-memory profiles are now only handled by keyfile plugin and will also be
persisted to /run directory. This allows to restart NetworkManager without
loosing these profiles and it provides a file-system based API for creating
in-memory profiles.
* Keyfile plugin now supports a read-only directory of profiles under directory
"/usr/lib/NetworkManager/system-connections". Such profiles still can be modified
and deleted via D-Bus, which results in writing profiles to /etc or /run that
shadow the read-only files.
* Add new D-Bus method AddConnection2() that allows to block autoconnect of
the profile at the moment when creating the profile. Also add support for
this API to libnm.
* Add flag "no-reapply" to Update2() D-Bus method. Normally, when a connection
profile gets modified, this only changes the profile itself. If the profile
is activated at a device, then the device's configuration does not update before
the profile is fully re-activated or Reapply on the device gets called. There
was an exception to this: the "connection.zone" and the "connection.metered"
properties take effect immediately. The "no-reapply" flag allows suppressing this,
so that not changes take effect automatically. The purpose is to really only modify
the profile itself without changes to the runtime configuration of the device.
The following changes were backported to 1.18.x releases between 1.18.0
and 1.18.2 are also present in NetworkManager-1.18:
