Rework parsing of nmcli's passwd-file.
1) support backslash escaping of secrets.
- only the secret can be backslash escaped, the property and setting
name cannot.
This is a change in behavior for passwd-files with secrets that contain
a backslash.
2) strip the white space around the secret. This is a change in behavior
for secrets that had leading or trailing spaces. Note that you can
backslash escape spaces in secrets.
3) strip white space around the setting.property key. This is also a
change in behavior, but such keys would never have been valid
previously (or the caller would have performed the same kind of
stripping).
4) accept '=' as alternative delimiter beside ':'. The ':' feels really
odd and unexpected. Also accept '='. This is a change in behavior if
keys would contain '=', which they really shouldn't.
5) reject non-UTF-8 secrets and keys. For keys, that is not an issue,
because such keys were never valid. For secrets, it probably didn't
work anyway to specify non-UTF-8 secrets, because most (if not all)
secrets are transmitted via D-Bus as strings where arbitrary binary
is not allowed.
6) ignore empty lines and lines starting with '#'.
7) ensure we don't leak any secrets in memory.
1) to 4) are changes in behavior. 3) and 4) seem less severe, as they
only concern unusual setting.property keys, which really shouldn't be
used (although, VPN secrets can have almost arbitrary names *sigh*).
1) and 2) is more dangerous, as it changes behavior for secrets that
contain backslashes or leading/trailing white space.
