Out of the box, Ubuntu Bionic offers only insecure VPN option

Bug description:
network-manager lists only PPTP as an available VPN client connection
type (and also offers to import a file). I'd expect L2TP-over-IPSec
and IKEv1/IKEv2 options as well.
In fact, most major desktop OSes have removed PPTP altogether because
it's insecure, and Ubuntu should probably do so in 18.04 as well, at
least from the GUI!
