The approach taken here makes it difficult to consume the changes.
The way it is implemented means a given variant of the daemon produces
either ifcfg or .nmconnection files. In practice there is a single
source of hv_kvp_daemon.c which is compatible with all versions of a distro.

IMO the new feature should be implemented such that hv_kvp_daemon 
writes both files. Then the tooling can decide which of the files will
actually be used.

I think the configuration file for NetworkManager should have the
suffix .nmconnection, even if it may not be mandatory.
