b760dee8c8 all: move "shared/nm-keyfile" to "libnm-core/nm-keyfile"
Originally, these files were part of libnm-core and linked together.
However, that is a licensing violation, because the code is GPL-2.0+
licensed, while libnm-core also gets linked with libnm (it must thus
be LGPL-2.1+). The original intent behind moving the code to "shared/"
was to avoid the licensing issue, but also to prepare when we would add
a separate, GPL licensed libnm-keyfile. However, currently we hope to
be able to relicense the code, so that it actually could be exposed as
part of libnm. This is work in progress at ([1]).

Anyway, the current directory layout is problematic. libnm-keyfile
depends on libnm-core, while libnm-core depends on code under shared.
That means, there is a circular dependency and meson's subdir() does
not work well.

Move the code.
