3d85bace3d libnm: add function to copy a certificate or key as user
Add a new public function nm_utils_copy_cert_as_user() to libnm. It
reads a certificate or key file on behalf of the given user and writes
it to a directory in /run/NetworkManager. It is useful for VPN plugins
that run as root and need to verify that the user owning the
connection (the one listed in the connection.permissions property) can
access the file.

(cherry picked from commit 1a52bbe7c9)
