<p> Add a new connection profile.
</p>
<p> Either the flags 0x1 (to-disk) or 0x2 (in-memory) must be specified.
The effect is whether to behave like AddConnection or AddConnectionUnsaved.
If 0x20 (block-autoconnect) is specified, autoconnect for the new profile
is blocked from the beginning. Otherwise, the profile might automatically
connect if a suitable device is around.
</p>
<p> AddConnection2 is a extensible alternative to AddConnection, and AddConnectionUnsaved.
The new variant can do everything that the older variants could, and more.

<p> Note that before 1.20, NetworkManager had a bug and this <em class="parameter"><code>status</code></em> value was wrong.

that NetworkManager sees the changes.
