This part documents the properties and value types of each "Setting"
object that composes the basic unit of NetworkManager configuration,
the "Connection". Each Connection object is simply a dictionary mapping
setting names (like "wimax" or "bluetooth") to a dictionary of
key/value pairs that represents each itself.
