Demo-4: Revert when state change fails

Date: 6 September 2018

NMState now supports checking whether changing the Network Manager config actually results in the state that the user specified. To demonstrate this, a property of virtual network interfaces is used. They silently ignore changes to their speed settings. So when a speed is set that the card does not accept, the Network Manager configuration is changed for a short time. When the verification of the state fails, NMState reverts the configuration back to its previous state.
