.NetworkManager rebased to version 1.26.0
The `NetworkManager` packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.26.0, which provides a number of enhancements and bug fixes over the previous version:
* NetworkManager resets the auto-negotiation, speed, and duplex setting to their original value when deactivating a device.
* Wi-Fi profiles connect now automatically if all previous activation attempts failed. This means that an initial failure to auto-connect to the network no longer blocks the automatism. A side effect is that existing Wi-Fi profiles that were previously blocked now connect automatically.
* The `nm-settings-nmcli(5)` and `nm-settings-dbus(5)` man pages have been added.
* Support for a number of bridge parameters has been added.
* Support for virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) interfaces has been added. For further details, see link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_and_managing_networking/configuring-virtual-routing-and-forwarding-vrf_configuring-and-managing-networking#permanently-reusing-the-same-ip-address-on-different-interfaces_configuring-virtual-routing-and-forwarding-vrf[Permanently reusing the same IP address on different interfaces].
* Support for Opportunistic Wireless Encryption mode (OWE) for Wi-Fi networks has been added.
* NetworkManager now supports 31-bit prefixes on IPv4 point-to-point links according to link:https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3021[RFC 3021].
* The `nmcli` utility now supports removing settings using the `nmcli connection modify <connection_name> remove <setting>` command.
* NetworkManager no longer creates and activates slave devices if a master device is missing.
