Public bug reported:

[Impact] 

 * NetworkManager snap (using the netplan backend) fails to add "ip-
tunnel" connections.

 * ip-tunnel connections are needed in UC20 via the NetworkManager
netplan integration

 * This upload includes an upload commit that uses netplan's
"passthrough" mode to handle ip-tunnel connections, so all settings can
be stored correctly.

[Test Plan]

Using NetworkManager with the netplan backend integration (e.g. network-manager 
snap from the 20/stable channel) one can launch "nmtui" and then:
- Proceed to edit -> add new connection
- Select "IP tunnel"
- enter a profile name e.g. "IP tunnel connection 1"
- enter a device e.g. "gre10"
- select mode "GRE"
- enter local IP e.g. "10.20.20.1"
- enter remote IP e.g. "10.20.20.2"
- Press "OK" to save the connection

This should NOT yield the following error message, but return
successfully:

"Unable to add new connection: failure adding connection: keyfile writer
produces an invalid connection: cannot access file: No such file or
directory"

- run "netplan get nm-devices" to confirm the connection was created 
successfully, using passthrough configuration
- run "nmcli c show" to confirm the new connection has been picked up by NM, too

[Where problems could occur]

 * This upload touches netplan's NetworkManager keyfile parser code. So
if something is broken this could impact the NetworkManager netplan
backend integration.

[Other Info]
 
 * Additionally we will run and verify the usual autopkgtests once the package 
got accepted into -proposed
