This removes libnm-glib, libnm-glib-vpn, and libnm-util for good.
The it has been replaced with libnm since NetworkManager 1.0, disabled
by default since 1.12 and no up-to-date distributions ship it for years
now.
Removing the libraries allows us to:
* Remove the horrible hacks that were in place to deal with accidental use
of both the new and old library in a single process.
* Relief the translators of maintenance burden of similar yet different
strings.
* Get rid of known bad code without chances of ever getting fixed
(libnm-glib/nm-object.c and libnm-glib/nm-object-cache.c)
* Generally lower the footprint of the releases and our workspace
If there are some really really legacy users; they can just build
libnm-glib and friends from the NetworkManager-1.16 distribution. The
D-Bus API is stable and old libnm-glib will keep working forever.

The patch does not validate.
In newer RPM file triggers in glibc package take care of this. While
these scriptlets whould do no harm there, removing them yields a tiny
theoretical performance improvement.
Group tag is not required, though is harmless. We could either remove it,
or keep it, but there's absolutely no excuse for conditionalizing it.
Let's keep it for now, because rpm -i still prints it.
This reverts commit 1feeba6f1a.
The "vala-tools" package was merged into "vala" [1]. While "vala"
now "Provides: vala-tools", update the build requirements for
Fedora 30 and newer.

This enables -Werror for meson builds on gitlab-ci and semaphore.
Not on Travis, the compiler there is too old, giving too many bogus
warnings.
This reverts commit 928d68d04a ("m4:
disable -Wmissing-braces for newer clang").
Also, let one docker image do multiple builds. We fetch a fedora docker
image, and then install 250 MB of packages. That alone takes a lot of
time and resources. Instead of running a large number of docker images
that only do one build, let one image do several builds.
Also, install ccache. Hopefully this way we can benefit from
building the same sources multiple times.
Also note that building docs does not work currently with clang,
due to g-ir-scanner. See commit 05568860cce5332977d92b85f7c25b8ed646cd58.
g-ir-scanner does not support building with clang, due to [1], [2], [3].
It triggers
checking if /usr/bin/g-ir-scanner works... no (compiler failure -- check config.log)
configure: error: introspection enabled but can't be used
with
clang-7: error: unknown argument: '-fstack-clash-protection'
See also commit 99b92fd992, which adds this configure
check.
Honor the environment variable WITH_DOCS to allow the caller to overwrite
the automatic detection that the script does.

To run the tests with python3, we need python3-gobject.
Note that "contrib/fedora/REQUIRED_PACKAGES" is called by
"contrib/scripts/nm-ci-run.sh" script to install the packages
in Fedora.
Otherwise the following fails:
$ ./contrib/fedora/rpm/build_clean.sh -g -s x.1
...

Even with the fix, not all characters are allowed:

Now that the default for the internal client is "mac", we don't need
this snippet anymore. Drop it.
Don't renumber the source files but leave the gap at Source3. Everytime
we add config snippets the numbers need to be shuffled, so don't fill
the gap and maybe use it in the future.

This allows us to add a file "TODO.txt" in the top level directory.
This file is not intended to be merged to master, but keep track of
stuff that is still to do before merging a branch.
Let checkpatch.pl warn about the presence of such a file.
meson is able to get variables defined in pkg-config files such as
directory paths. PolicyKit defines in its pkg-config file the path to
the directory where `policy` files are present.
This removes the `polkit_dir` option to ease the move to start using
those variables. The `polkit` variable has also been converted to
boolean.
Fedora spec script has also been updated accordingly.
For older NetworkManager versions, a match spec that only contained except:
specifiers could never yield a positive match. That is not very useful and
got fixed by commit 242de347adbf653a709607979d36a0da1ca3ff0b (core: fix
device spec matching for a list of "except:").
Still, adjust the configuration snippet so that it also works with
configurations that predate the fix.
For one, it's not unreasonable that we want to run the same
tests both for gitlab and travis.
Move the actual tests into a script, which is called by both
CI environments.
We still can do something different, based on the environment.
The advantage here is, that the common part will be shared, and
the places where we differ can easily be spot.

The ebpf syscall doesn't work on RHEL even if the linux/bpf.h header
is available: let's explicitly disable it.
On Fedora explicitly enable eBPF instead of autodetecting it.
This allows us to somehow work with no PCI (or USB for that matter), such
as some virtual machines. Old ModemManager doesn't like this though, but
there doesn't seem to be a way around it.

While this is packaged in "NetworkManager-config-server.rpm"
sub-package, it's not in "00-server.conf" file. The reason
is that a convenient way to disable configuration from
"/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d", is by putting a (possibly empty)
file into /etc directory with the same name. If the sub-package
only provides one large "00-server.conf" file, this is no longer
possible at a granular level.
We have a few source code tags like "TODO" and "FIXME".
"XXX" is not intended to be merged, it is for marking
places in code while still working on it.
autotools build has/had a bug, where ibft test files would only be disted
if the ibft plugin was enabled.
Regardless of that, `build_clean.sh --release` is our suggested way to
create a release tarball. It should always enable the ibft plugin.
It didn't do so, due to a bug.
On RHEL, openvswitch package is not in the base set of packages. Hence,
we cannot depend NetworkManager-ovs package on openvswitch.
This isn't really a problem, because NetworkManager's OVS plugin must
anyway behave graceful when openvswich service is not running or not
available. It only means, that a user who wants to use the OVS plugin
needs to explicitly install the openvswitch package.

The main purpose of "checkpatch-feature-branch.sh" is to test all
patches of a feature branch. When we run the script against master
(or nm-1-*), then there is no feature branch.
Previously, the script would just error out.
That is not very useful, in particular as we call this from gitlab-ci,
which also runs on master.
Instead, in that case, test the HEAD.
This takes current HEAD branch, and finds all the commits what
are not on master or one of the nm-1-* branches, and runs
checkpatch.pl on each.
The use is to run checkpatch.pl on all patches of a feature
branch.
If the NetworkManager daemon has been stopped manually we don't want it
to be autostarted by a client request.
[lkundrak@v3.sk: The auto-activation is probably more surprising than useful.
Services that need NetworkManager API should depend on NetworkManager service
directly.
I have no idea what purpose does the D-Bus service file serve nowadays,
but it looks rather hacky (really, activating /bin/false) and the comment
in it suggests that the autoactivating behavior was not intended anyway.
Debian has been shipping this for quite some time and no complains have been
heard.]
