Summary

vpn: fix routing rules support in vpn conenctions

Purpose

This commit introduces the ability to manage routing rules specifically
for VPN connections. These rules allow finer control over traffic
routing by enabling the specification of policy-based routing for
traffic over the VPN.

- Updated the connection backend to apply rules during VPN activation.
- Ensured proper cleanup of routing rules upon VPN deactivation.

This enhancement improves VPN usability in scenarios requiring advanced
routing configurations, such as split tunneling and traffic
prioritization.
