Add Remote Identity, password options and password save/load

Carlos Jordao requested to merge cjordao/plasma-nm:strongswan_improvement into master

All changes applies to the StrongSwan plugin.

  • Add a field for Remote Identity. This feature exists in nm_applet (GTK) from StrongSwan. It is needed for certain servers that use certificates from internal CA, otherwise the authentication may fail.

  • Add password options. With this, frequently changing passwords policies can be easily configured with "don't save/ask always" option. Other plasma-nm plugins already have this, as well the GTK nm_applet.

  • Add password save/load. Sometimes, when you provide a password, it is stored somewhere and it isn't easy to remove it and force the interface to ask it again. With options enabled, this isn't a must, but it was a bit strange if left this issue alone. Now it saves and loads the password in the way charon-nm understands.
