This is a good idea in principle but its semantics need some very careful
thought.

Most Connection properties are "mutable until CONNECTED", so we can't use
filters based on immutable properties.

Most clients only care about CONNECTED connections. Let's call that
ConnectionMonitor.

Later, we could have a PreConnectionMonitor that gets unconnected connections,
and gets to delay Connect().

Later still, we could have a ConnectionApprover that gets invoked before
RequestConnection is called, and can manipulate the Parameters or reject the
request with an error. I'm inclined to say YAGNI, though: for the few cases
where this would be useful, libmission-control-plugins would probably be more
appropriate.
