The Connection Editor of the NetworkManager plasma applet is unable to import OpenVPN configuration files which contain inline certificates and keys.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Connection Editor.
2. File -> Import VPN…
3. Select and open an OpenVPN configuration file (.ovpn) which contains inline certificates and/or keys. That is, the file specifies "[inline]" as the value of the ca, cert, key, and/or tls-auth fields, and then provides ASCII-armoured certificates and/or keys in <ca>, <cert>, <key>, and <tls-auth> elements at the end of the file.

Actual Results:
4. For every inline certificate/key in the configuration file, an error dialog appears indicating that the certificate/key could not be copied because the file [inline] could not be opened. For example:

Error copying file to /home/miller/.kde4/share/apps/networkmanagement/certificates/ukp-vpn_[inline]: Cannot open /tmp/[inline] for input

Expected Results:
4. The Connection Editor should recognize that "[inline]" is not a filename but rather a special value indicating that the certificate/key is contained within the OpenVPN configuration file itself. It should then read in and process that certificate/key.
