Description
### What Happened?
Wireguard support was released a while back, but I've never gotten it to work. I'm currently running elementary OS 8, and I have the `wireguard` package installed. Rebooting didn't help.
See screenshot below showing the "add new VPN" dialog:

I tried to import from a connection file (i.e. a file backed up from `/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/`), but it says it's unsupported when I pick it.

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Install and update elementary OS 8.
2. Install `wireguard` package and reboot
3. open _Settings_, then _Network_, then _VPN_, then _Add a Connection_
### Expected Behavior
There should be a way to manually add a Wireguard connection, filling in details in a form; or at least let us import from a file. None of that appears to be available.
