nmcli does not allow editing mtu on VLAN interfaces

[jfpanisset]

Summary

When trying to edit the mtu parameter on a VLAN interface, nmcli always reports that nothing needs to be done, even though the specified mtu value is different than the current mtu for the VLAN Interface.

This appears to be caused by the function:

    def mtu_conn_type(self):
        return self.type in (
            'dummy',
            'ethernet',
            'team-slave',
        )

in nmcli.py which fails to recognize the vlan interface as a valid layer 2 interface type on which you can set the MTU.

Steps to Reproduce

 - name: Set VLAN 96 network interface MTU to 1500 after creation
    community.general.nmcli:
      conn_name:  "enp1s0f0.96"
      type:              "vlan"
      vlandev:        "enp1s0f0"
      vlanid:           96
      ip4:               "1.2.3.4"
      mtu:             9000
      state:           "present"

Expected Results

$ nmcli conn show enp1s0f096

should report:

802-3-ethernet.mtu:                     9000

but instead Ansible reports that nothing needs to be changed and the MTU remains at the default for the base interface, 1500.
