[Bug 1659520] [NEW] openvpn network manager plugin dns server settings do not take effect in 16.10

[Giles Coochey]

Public bug reported:

when using the network manager openvpn plugin the DNS servers do not
always seem to correctly get passed to the system for use.

Sometimes it works, but at some point resolved seems to choose to use
the local DNS servers again and not use the ones provided by the openvpn
server.
