nmcli: add --offline to "conn add" and "conn modify"

Merged Lubomir Rintel requested to merge lr/nmcli-offline into main

Implement's these:

      $ nmcli --offline conn add type ethernet ens3 ipv4.dns 192.168.1.1 \
          >output.nmconnection
      $ nmcli --offline connection modify ens3 ipv4.dns 192.168.1.1 \
          <input.nmconnection >output.nmconnection

The is what was suggested by Beniamino in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1361145, because I liked it.

It is currently useful for completely offline operation e.g. in kickstarts.

Once an ability to import/export keyfiles gets implemeneted, it would be possible to integrate the offline commands with the running service. This patch set doesn't implement that.
