Thomas Haller da72f276cd settings: write tombstones when deleting connection with duplicate files on disk
Create such duplicate files:

  UUID=0df1bac3-1131-42d4-8893-4492d5424d11
  rm -f /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/x[12]
  rm -f /{etc,run}/NetworkManager/system-connections/"$UUID".nmmeta
  printf -v C "[connection]\nuuid=$UUID\ntype=ethernet\nautoconnect=false"
  echo "$C" > /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/x1
  echo "$C" > /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/x2
  chmod 600 /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/x[12]
  touch /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/x2
  ls -l --full-time /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/x[12] /{etc,run}/NetworkManager/system-connections/"$UUID".nmmeta 2>/dev/null
  nmcli connection reload
  nmcli -f all connection show | grep $UUID

Now, we have x2 file loaded, and x1 is shadowed. When we delete x2,
we probably don't want to delete the hidden x1 file.

What previously happend was that when calling

  nmcli connection delete $UUID

the command would hang because the profile wasn't really deleted:

instead, we need to write a tombstone:

and of course after a `nmcli connection reload` the profile stays hidden:
