This update makes it possible to connect to VPNs where the "cipher" (now
"data-ciphers") option is needed, as long as the connection is manually
modified. This part works great.

The Gnome settings interface however, still looks for the "cipher"
option, so this part does not work. The settings interface cannot see
the specified data-ciphers setting and trying to set it from the
interface, sets the cipher option instead, rendering the connection
unusable.

Title:
  Data ciphers are not properly configured with openvpn 2.6

Status in NetworkManager-OpenVPN:
  New
Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  OPTIONS ERROR: failed to negotiate cipher with server.  Add the
  server's cipher ('AES-256-CBC') to --data-ciphers (currently
  'AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305') if you want to connect to
  this server.

  So basically some servers won't be supported anymore because
  unsupported '--cipher' option is used instead of '--data-ciphers'

  A fix is available at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-
  openvpn/-/merge_requests/46
