Sponsored the SRU. This does not need a fix in zesty as the fix is
already applied there (via newer upstream release).

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Currently in Ubuntu 16.04 network-manager-openvpn does not support the openvpn --max-routes switch.
  This means that per omission the VPN connection supports 100 routes that can be pushed by the openvpn server to the client. If the openvpn server pushes more 100 routes, which can happen in some cases, the VPN establishment fails.

  From OpenVPN manual:
  "--max-routes n
  Allow a maximum number of n --route options to be specified, either in the local configuration file, or pulled from an OpenVPN server. By default, n=100."

  Can you do one of the following?
  - Fully support max-routes in the GUI, with an option to choose the value of the max-routes
  or, simpler:
  - Do not implement the max-routes in the GUI but add '--max-routes 500' for example for all openvpn connection establishments. I mean increase the number of maximum routes for all openvpn connections with network-manager.

  There is also a gnome bugzilla related to this issue which was
  recently closed with a patch:
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720097

  When can we have the max-route implementation on network-manager-
  openvpn in ubuntu?
