Track VPN activation and deactivation locally while nmrs operations are
running. This lets the applet show a spinner immediately, refresh state
while NetworkManager settles, and clear pending state on completion or
error.
Also use VPN-specific icons for VPN rows and prefer active or pending VPN
state for the panel icon.
Only mark an nmrs Wi-Fi group as activated when the group itself is
active. Access points inherit device state, so inactive known networks on
a connected Wi-Fi device can otherwise appear activated and get skipped
from the known networks section while also being filtered out of visible
networks.
- Strip the CIDR suffix (/24) from the shown IPv4 address
- Sort visible wireless networks by signal strength again
- Filter out empty-SSID "hidden network" entries from the list
Fixes a bug where we showed `Activated` networks after the current active
one.
Also ipv4/6 addresses were merged so this seperates them and only shows ipv4
for now until we decide the best way to show both, UI/UX wise.
`cosmic-applet-network` listed every connection from `nm.list_saved_connections()` in the VPN dropdown, including the in-memory-only profiles NetworkManager auto-generates for externally-managed interfaces (e.g. a `wg-quick@wg0.service` tunnel). Toggling such an "assumed" connection off deletes it from NM — it was never persisted — leaving a dead toggle with no way back through the applet or `nmcli con up`.
Skip connections flagged `unsaved` (in-memory only) at the `load_vpns()` site so they no longer get a togglable entry. The active-connections section still shows the interface as connected (read-only). One-line change in `cosmic-applet-network/src/app.rs`.
## Test plan
- Built on Pop!_OS and ran the patched `cosmic-applet-network`: with `wg-quick@wg0` up and NM tracking `wg0` as connected-externally, the VPN dropdown no longer shows the destructive `wg0` toggle; the active-connections section still shows `wg0`; Wi-Fi toggling is unaffected.
