Instead of handling iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) in the ifcfg-rh plugin, create a new plugin for it. This allows all distributions to use iBFT configuration, and makes both iBFT handling and ifcfg-rh less complicated. The plugin (like the old ifcfg-rh code) creates read-only connections backed by the data exported by iscsiadm. The plugin does not support adding new connections or modifying existing connections (since the iBFT data is read-only anyway). Instead, users should change their iBFT data through the normal firmware interfaces. Unmanaged devices can be configured through NetworkManager.conf and the normal 'keyfile' mechanisms. (In the future, we'll read this data directly from the kernel's /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX directory instead of iscsiadm, since the kernel has all the information we need and that's where iscsiadm gets it from anyway.) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734009
