Protect against fingerprinting via active Wi-Fi networks probing

Originally created by @intrigeri on #6453 (Redmine)

Even once feature/spoof-mac is merged, Tails does not protect against AdvGoalTracking and
AdvGoalProfiling due to “active probing” performed by NetworkManager
for Wi-Fi connections. This puts AvoidTracking at risk, especially when using the NetworkManager persistent connections feature.

Blueprint: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/MAC_address/#active-probe-fingerprinting

How to tell NetworkManager to disable directed Probe Requests (but not broadcasts): https://lists.autistici.org/message/20140107.211627.ffa65145.en.html.
