Patch to include 'fortigate' as option for vpnc vendor type

SUMMARY

Since version 1.4.0 nework-manager-vpnc supports 'fortigate' as vendor type parameter:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-vpnc/-/commit/cfc0146f4807cf680c3868188d3ad71343d0b4dd

The attached patch includes this option in plasma-nm's vpnc widget, too.

Thank you for the bug report!

Debian advises users to not submit bugs upstream (https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting), and Plasma 6.3.4 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE. It's possible that the issue exists only in Debian at this point.

Could you report the bug to Debian using the report bug utility (https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/reportbug)? If necessary, the maintainer of the package will forward the bug upstream.
Thanks for understanding!

Thanks again!

While I'm using Debian and Plasma Version 6.3.4 this of course affects all version, including the current one:

https://github.com/KDE/plasma-nm/blob/6b02459ad0b3f6b233689dca47d4213ea41c866e/vpn/vpnc/nm-vpnc-service.h#L51

So as far as I see this bug (and it is one, as somebody can configure values with Gnome that get lost when edited with Plasma) is NOT resolved.

Thanks for the patch! Can you submit it using https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-nm/-/merge_requests? Patches in bug reports are usually missed, and there's no opportunity for proper code review on our Gitlab instance.
