In nmcli we have renamed dhcp-send-hostname and dhcp-send-hostname-v2 to
dhcp-send-hostname-deprecated and dhcp-send-hostname so users don't need
to worry about the details of the weird workarounds that we sometimes
need to do to expand and/or deprecate some properties.
However, the autogenerated documentation didn't include this names. Add
---nmcli--- specific documentation, adding a new property-infos field
called "rename" with the new name used in nmcli. This field can be used
for more properties if we use the same strategy in the future.
This patch add support to IPVLAN interface. IPVLAN is a driver for a
virtual network device that can be used in container environment to
access the host network. IPVLAN exposes a single MAC address to the
external network regardless the number of IPVLAN device created inside
the host network. This means that a user can have multiple IPVLAN
devices in multiple containers and the corresponding switch reads a
single MAC address. IPVLAN driver is useful when the local switch
imposes constraints on the total number of MAC addresses that it can
manage.
The setting was missing from the script. The patch is adding it and also
regenerates the docs.

The base image for the "check-tree" test got bumped to Fedora 39. This
brings a new python-black version (23.7.0 vs. 22.8.0) and requires
reformatting.
Maybe we should stick to 22.8.0, via `pip install`. But it seems better
to just follow the latest black version (the one from current Fedora).
So do the reformatting instead.

If there are properties that accept special values apart from the
normally accepted values, or any of those values has an special meaning,
it can be shown as "Special value", indicating the nicknames and numbers
that can be used to select it.
Show a new field called "Valid values" in those properties that only
accept a limited set of values, like enums, ints with a valid range of
values, etc.
As there is some complex logic behind getting this information, this
logic has been put in nm-meta-setting-desc and nm-enum-utils so they can
be re-used, avoiding duplicity and errors. Some refactor has been done
in nm-meta-setting-desc in this direction, too.
"generate-docs-nm-settings-docs-merge.py" merges properties from
multiple XMLs. It supported an argument "--only-from-first", to
only select properties that were in the first of the provided XMLs.
The idea is that the first XML would be "src/nmcli/gen-metadata-nm-settings-nmcli.xml"
which is generated from nmcli meta-data and exactly describes the
supported properties. For example, "connection.read-only", "user.data"
or "wireless.tx-power" exist as properties somewhere, but not supported
by nmcli.
Change that, to not tie the selected property to the first XML.
"gen-metadata-nm-settings-nmcli.xml" is the XML that contains which
properties to select from, but "src/libnm-client-impl/nm-property-infos-nmcli.xml"
contains hand crafted descriptions. The latter descriptions are
preferred. As the order of the XML is already relevant for which
description is preferred, the selection is orthogonal to that.
With this, prefer descriptions from "src/libnm-client-impl/nm-property-infos-nmcli.xml"
but still select properties from "src/nmcli/gen-metadata-nm-settings-nmcli.xml".
Note that the argument is only used to generate "man/nm-settings-docs-nmcli.xml",
and with the current input, there is no actual change in behavior.
When we generate the manual page for nm-settings-nmcli, we run:
"/usr/bin/python" \
./tools/generate-docs-nm-settings-docs-merge.py \
--only-from-first \
man/nm-settings-docs-nmcli.xml \
src/nmcli/gen-metadata-nm-settings-nmcli.xml \
src/libnm-client-impl/nm-property-infos-nmcli.xml \
src/libnm-client-impl/nm-settings-docs-gir.xml
If "gen-metadata-nm-settings-nmcli.xml" contains either a <description>
or a <description-docbook>, then we must not continue searching the
other XML documents. The user provided an explicit override, and
fallback (search further) is wrong. Previously, we might take
<description> from the first file, and <description-docbook> from the
second file. As "man/nm-settings-nmcli.xsl" prefers
<description-docbook>, it takes the wrong text. Instead, as we search
the files during merge, we must prefer the first one.
Note that the change doesn't really matter anymore, because each XML
now must also contain both <description> and <description-docbook>.
There is an assertion for that.
Also, stop generating <deprecated-docbook>. First, it lacked the
important "since=" attribute and was necessary. Also, it's redundant and
does not contain anything interesting. So far, we don't need special
formatting for the deprecated message, and we likely never will.
Also, stop accepting or generating the "description=" attribute. This
should always be an XML element now.
Improve documentation by preserving paragraphs in the
nm-settings-nmcli man pages.
To do that structure of src/libnm-client-impl/nm-settings-docs-gir.xml
was changed to have "description" as subnode to property node instead
of attribute of property node. Another subnode "description-docbook"
was added - this node is then used when generating man pages.
tools/generate-docs-nm-settings-docs-gir.py and man/nm-settings-dbus.xsl
were also changed to accomodate for changes mentioned above.
Replace xsltproc tool with python script when generating
./src/libnmc-setting/settings-docs.h.
Deleted settings-docs.xsl since it was replaced by python script.
Change src/libnmc-setting/settings-docs.h.in accodring to newly
generated src/libnmc-setting/settings-docs.h

`description-docbook` is the alternative tag to `description`, the
difference is that `description-docbook` expects docbook XML but not
plaintext.

It's hard to understand what "tools/generate-docs-nm-settings-docs-merge.py"
does. Add dbg() statements that are all NOP by default. But the user can
easily patch the code to print what is happening. This is only for
debugging the script.
Especially for "nm-settings-docs-nmcli.xml", the first XML to merge is
"clients/cli/generate-docs-nm-settings-nmcli.xml". That file is
generated with the meta data from nmcli, and it contains all the
properties that are supported. Properties from other XML files,
that are passed as additional arguments should not be merged.
In most cases, there is no difference. It only matters for
"ipv6.dad-timeout" and "user.data". For example, "ipv6.dad-timeout"
is supported by GObject (part of "libnm/nm-settings-docs-gir.xml"),
but not by nmcli. Don't include it in the manual.
This also drops the now empty settings "dummy", "user", and "generic".
