Public bug reported:

Reproduce:
Use the API to change an active connection.

What happens:
I'm fairly sure we need to re-connect after changing e.g. a user name or a 
password or a certificate. This means the API consumer is forced to infer from 
the “activatable” and “active” whether or not the re-connection attempt was 
successful or not.

What should happen:
A signal called “activationFailed” would help. Emitting this when trying to 
establish (going from active = False to active = True) a connection, could be 
sufficient.

Rationale:
Changing routes is something that is very likely to be changed when the 
connection is active.
