dns: add new "rc-manager=auto" mode
Add a new `main.rc-manager=auto` setting, that favours to use
systemd-resolved (and not touch "/etc/resolv.conf" but configure
it via D-Bus), or falls back to `resolvconf`/`netconfig` binaries
if they are installed and enabled at compile time.
As final fallback use "symlink", like before.

Note that on Fedora there is no "openresolv" package ([1]). Instead, "systemd"
package provides "/usr/sbin/resolvconf" as a wrapper for systemd-resolved's
"resolvectl". On such a system the fallback to resolvconf is always
wrong, because NetworkManager should either talk to systemd-resolved
directly or not but never call "/usr/sbin/resolvconf". So, the special handling
for resolvconf and netconfig is only done if NetworkManager was build with these
applications explicitly enabled.

Note that SUSE builds NetworkManager with

    --with-netconfig=yes
    --with-config-dns-rc-manager-default=netconfig

and the new option won't be used there either. But of course, netconfig
already does all the right things on SUSE.
