It doesn't appear we mention the switch in the help, so this won't
invalidate anything. I would like to add a note about right-clicking
to see the password to step 2 in net-wireless-connect.page. I can't
do that now, because gnome-user-docs is frozen for 3.2.1.

I'll give a docs team approval, with the understanding that we won't
add the note in the help until 3.2.2.
