Doc Text Note: There's already a deprecation release not in BZ#1894877. If this ticket should also get a RN (to announce the warnings in logs an nmcli output), we should treat this as an enhancement. .NetworkManager notifies when using the deprecated `ifcfg` format

Connection profiles in `ifcfg` format are deprecated in RHEL 9 (see xref:BZ-1894877[]). With this enhancement, NetworkManager notifies users about the deprecation:

* NetworkManager logs the following warning to the ´systemd` journal if it processes a connection profile in `ifcfg` format in the `/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/` directory:
+
----
Warning: the ifcfg-rh plugin is deprecated, please migrate connections to the keyfile format using "nmcli connection migrate"
----

* The `nmcli` utility reports the following error if you try to modify a property that is not supported in `ifcfg` format:
+
----
Error: Failed to modify connection '<name>': failed to update connection: The ifcfg-rh plugin doesn't support setting '<property>'. If you are modifying an existing connection profile saved in ifcfg-rh format, please migrate the connection to keyfile using 'nmcli connection migrate <connection_uuid>' or via the Update2() D-Bus API and try again.
----
+
Note that, if you manually edit a profile in `ifcfg` format and add properties that this format does not support, NetworkManager ignores these properties and processes only the rest of the file. This can result in a connection that does not work as expected.

As a result of these enhancements, NetworkManager now notifies users if they still use or modify connection profiles in the deprecated `ifcfg` format.
