Merge commit '18aa59b0f26fc707e7313f8467e67159e61600c2' from master into staging

       The NetworkManager systemd unit was renamed back from network-manager.service to
       NetworkManager.service for better compatibility with other applications expecting this name.
       The same applies to ModemManager where modem-manager.service is now called ModemManager.service again.
