I think this should probably fix the duplicated temporary connections
issue. Netplan should only ever try to handle non-temporary connections,
nothing that's being written to NMS_KEYFILE_STORAGE_TYPE_RUN (like those
external OpenVPN connections). More testing is needed to investigate the
side-effects of this change.

Title:
netplan network-manager plugin tries to save temporary connections

Bug description:
*** Note: This bug is mostly about comment #10, now ***
When creating an OpenVPN connection, a temporal connection called tunN
is created. For instance, after activating a connection called
vpntest, I have:
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
vpntest 458856e6-8f0f-4dc6-82f2-dd72868252a0 vpn ens3
tun0 1eb1dbe8-5678-4818-9adf-fb2dc01ed132 tun tun0
tun0 is created/removed after activating/deactivating vpntest and
should not really be saved, but I see netplan adding it in
/etc/netplan. And while doing so the plugin also reports some errors
(I see these when stopping the connection):
