Public bug reported:
How to reproduce the bug:
* Open control center
* Go to "Power" section on the left sidebar.
* Toggle this button: "Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi can be turned off to save power"
Expected behavior:
* Wifi should no longer be turned off to save power.
* Current wifi connection should stay on.
Observed behavior:
* All wifi connections are immediately disabled, irrespective of how idle the
system is.
It looks like this button is toggling the wrong underlying setting.
