Question is whether it makes sense to optimize for systems without
NetworkManager in Fedora when we're targetting even for initramfs. Will check
with other people. For now I'm choosing from two possibilities:

1) rename strongswan-NetworkManager subpackage to -charon-nm to avoid confusion

+ keeps strongswan free of dependency on libnm-util and libnm-glib and
indirectly glib, dbus-glib and libuuid.

2) merge strongswan-NetworkManager subpackage into the main package

+ libdbus is already required by systemd and many other packages
+ neither dbus daemon nor NetworkManager is required
+ NetworkManager libs are installed on most fedora systems
+ the total size of pulled in libraries isn't particularly big

Either way, the NetworkManager-strongswan package would depend on the package
containing charon-nm.
