Felipe Borges 4b0f2a120c Don't disambiguate wired networks titles
In RHEL-50729 the customer wants the ethernet device name to appear
consistent regardless of the name of the device.

What GNOME Settings upstream does is to use
nm_device_disambiguate_names() so that it can show a simple "Wired"
device when there's only one (usually embedded) device and still
change the device name when there are multiple devices connected
(corner case) to disambiguate.

These changes make the Ethernet devices always appear as "Wired $IFACE",
where $IFACE is the result of nm_device_get_iface ().
