[SRU] libproxy1-plugin-gsettings triggers a lot of warnings

[Corentin Noël]

[Impact]

 * The proxy configuration from GSettings is not getting exported and thus is not used by libproxy-enabled applications.

 * Many GLib applications are now throwing critical messages in the logs when running. This is escpecially true for WebKitGtk applications which are throwing one message by subprocess.

[Test Case]

 * Open a WebKitGtk application such as Epiphany (GNOME Web) with the terminal and see the critical messages

GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 09:00:09.217: ../../../gobject/gsignal.c:2617: signal 'changed::' is invalid for instance '0x55b923a6b430' of type 'GSettings'

[Regression Potential]

 * No regression is to expect from this patch

[Other Info]

 * The patch is already in debian experimental and is available since 0.4.15-12

@Corentin, any chance you could test if the SRU resolve the issue for you?

[Corentin Noël (tintou)]

@seb128 Tested it since it is available in focal-proposed and it solved the issue for me. I haven't noticed any issue so far.

Checked too, seems good to me - updating tags. Thanks!
