Hi!

While reflecting on the implementations of persistence of Network
Manager connections and browser bookmarks, it occured to me that we
might have an undesired coupling between tails-persistence-setup and
our persistence framework as a whole.

The implementation of persistent NM connections lead me to think that
the pivot of our persistence framework is in
`amnesia.git:config/chroot_local-includes/usr/local/sbin/live-persist`.

Yet, both new persistence options required a change in
another component, namely tails-persistence-setup to update
`lib/Tails/Persistence/Configuration/Presets.pm`.

I wonder if we should not move the content of Presets.pm to an
'external' file (from the point of view of tails-persistence-setup)
which would live closer to `live-persist` instead. It could still be
Perl code or transformed into YAML or another ad-hoc format. The trick
is that it needs to be i18n'ed somehow...

Any other opinions?

(I don't think I'm fluent enough in Perl to propose any implementation,
though.)
