nmcli: start the agent only after updating the connection

Browse source 
When connecting to a wifi network and providing the password on the
command line, nmcli first looks if there is a compatible connection to
reuse. If there is not, it creates and activates a new one via a
single call to AddAndActivate().

If there is a compatible connection, nmcli first calls Update() on it
to set the new password and then Activate() to bring it up. Before
that, it registers a secret agent that can prompt for a new password
in case of authentication failure.

However, as soon as nmcli registers a secret agent, NM tries to
activate again the connection if it was blocked due to a previous
authentication failure. This connection attempt is going to fail
because it still uses the old password, as new one hasn't been set via
Update().

Change the order of operations to register the agent after Update()
and before Activate().

Reproducer:

 nmcli device wifi connect SSID password BAD_PASSWORD
 nmcli device wifi connect SSID password GOOD_PASSWORD
