docs: add more nm-settings manpages (dbus,nmcli,keyfile,ifcfg-rh)
A significant part of NetworkManager's API are the connection profiles, documented in `man nm-settings*`. But there are different aspects about profiles, depending on what you are interested. There is the D-Bus API, nmcli options, keyfile format, and ifcfg-rh format. Additionally, there is also libnm API. Add distinct manual pages for the four aspects. Currently the two new manual pages "nm-settings-dbus" and "nm-settings-nmcli" are still identical to the former "nm-settings.5" manual. In the future, they will diverge to account for the differences. There are the following aspects: - "dbus" - "keyfile" - "ifcfg-rh" - "nmcli" For "libnm" we don't generate a separate "nm-settings-libnm" manual page. That is instead documented via gtk-doc. Currently the keyfile and ifcfg-rh manual pages only detail settings which differ. But later I think also these manual pages should contain all settings that apply.
