The idea is to not rewrite resolv.conf which can best be done in
named-manager or code surrounding that.

If we dont want this resolvconf code to clutter the core named manager
code, we could consider to put it into the distro backends. For that
we introducing nm_system_commit_resolv_conf would be an
option. NetworkManagerDebian.c could get the new logic, while the
other backends just get a simple rename for now.

Thoughts?
