device: suppress logging and return error reason from nm_device_generate_connection()th/assume-master-rh1452062-nm-1.8

Don't log in a function that basically just inspects state, without
mutating it. Instead, pass the reason why a connection could not be
generated to the caller so that we have one sensible log message.
