We overwrite 10-globally-managed-devices.conf that network-manager package provides when building the iso. However, this conf can be re-overwritten after installation of OS when network-manager package is updated, causing NM no longer manages Ethernet devices as recently reported from some users: https://github.com/orgs/elementary/discussions/658 and elementary/switchboard-plug-network#423.

So, rename our conf to a filename that won't conflict with files provided by network-manager package and make sure it's loaded after and overwrite 10-globally-managed-devices.conf.

This makes sense, but we should probably check how Ubuntu 24.04 works and manages ethernet devices and why it doesn't work in elementary in case this causes more problems in the future.
