[strongSwan] Strongswan network manager plugin 1.5.2 on linux doesn't clear resolv.conf on disconnection

The NetworkManager backend (charon-nm), which is independent of the GUI 
plugin whose version you reference, does not load the resolve plugin, by 
default (i.e. it won't modify resolv.conf directly or via resolvconf). 
Make sure you didn't load it manually somehow [1].  Also, even if it's 
loaded, the DNS servers should get removed once the IKE_SA is terminated 
(check the log).

If the plugin is not loaded (i.e. the DNS servers are not installed by 
charon-nm), the file might get modified by NM (or some other component), 
so check for errors in other logs and for existing bug reports for these 
components.

Regards,
Tobias
