Add a simple (default) operation to remove
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/*.nmconnection
which arguably carry stale information after the initial creation of the
system disk image.
Note: no side effect callback is invoked. Before commit 576f1541a20c
("sysprep: Use customize module for customizing the guest after
sysprepping.", 2014-03-25), the "delete" operation had been native to
virt-sysprep ("sysprep/sysprep_operation_delete.ml"), and it didn't invoke
side effects. In said commit, "delete" was delegated to virt-customize,
and that was when "side_effects#created_file" was introduced (most likely)
as a catch-all. (We still have the "XXX Did we?" comment today.)

Notes:
Tested with:
$ virt-sysprep -v -x --enable=net-nmconn \
-a CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-9-20211201.1.x86_64.qcow2
(Download directory:
<
https://cloud.centos.org/centos/9-stream/x86_64/images/>.)
Log excerpt:
> libguestfs: trace: inspect_get_distro = "centos"
> libguestfs: trace: glob_expand
"/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/*.nmconnection"
> [...]
> libguestfs: trace: glob_expand =
["/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ens3.nmconnection"]
> libguestfs: trace: rm_f
"/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ens3.nmconnection"
> [...]
> libguestfs: trace: rm_f = 0
And indeed the file got removed (checked with guestfish afterwards).

Looks good. I have checked the code in case you needed to call
side_effects#<some method> but that's not needed for deleting a file.
ACK
Rich.
