[request] Update connman to 1.7 (because connmanctl)

Could you please update connman to 1.7, because connman 1.7 provides connmanctl that makes setting up custom network configurations on the terminal/ssh much easier an less error prone.

I tried for example to setup the eduroam wifi connection with creating those *.config files, but I was not successful. My WPA2-Personal network at home uses a 64 character long key, and the timeout on the interface prevented me from successfully typing the password. Creating *.config files was not successful either. And simple-agent always had difficulties connecting to the system bus.

So having an additional way to setup the network directly with connmanctl would help, until the GUI settings work correctly.

UPDATE

I checked the current version of connman, it's 1.15. So it seems thy have removed connmanctl from the package...

Why would they do that?

Why would they do that?Apparently connmanctl isn't part of the connman package in the mer repository.
