feat: make wifi connections global by default

Kristen McWilliamrequested to merge
work/merritt/global-wifi-by-default into master

This change simply alters how a connection is created so that it doesn't specify that it is restricted to a user, and will therefore allow the connection to activate for any user -- including before login.

Benefits:

  • Wifi can be active before login for enterprise / government use cases
  • Connection doesn't have to be made for each user on a shared machine
  • KISS can set up the wifi during the out of box experience

The connection config is still stored at /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections and still requires root access to view or modify.
