settings: drop deprecated NetworkManager.conf option "main.monitor-connection-files"
It's deprecated and off by default for a long time.
It is bad to automatically reload connection profiles. For example, ifcfg
files may consist of multiple files, there is no guarantee that we
pick up the connection when it's fully written.
Just don't do this anymore.
Users should use D-Bus API or `nmcli connection reload` or `nmcli
connection load $FILENAME` to reload profiles from disk.
