After doing all the refactoring, rename the ObjectType enum to NMPObjectType.
I didn't do this earlier to avoid problems with rebasing. But since I will
backport the platform changes to nm-1-0, this is the right time to get
the name right.
After refactoring platform, nm_platform_ipx_route_get_all() and
nm_platform_ipx_address_get_all() was broken for calling with a
non-posititive ifindex (which has the meaning: ignore ifindex).
While fixing that, also refactor the NMPCacheIdType so that it matches
better the supported id-types.

The @udi field is not a static string, so any user of a NMPlatformLink
instance must make sure not to use the field beyond the lifetime of the
NMPlatformLink instance.
As we pass on the platform link instance during platform changed events,
this is hard to ensure for the subscriber of the signal -- because a
call back into platform could invalidate/modify the object.
Just not expose this field as part of the link instance. The few callers
who actually needed it should instead call nm_platform_get_uid(). With
that, the lifetime of the returned 'const char *' pointer is clearly
defined.
NMPObject is a simple "object" implemenation around NMPlatformObject.
They are ref-counted and have a class-pointer. Several basic functions
like equality, hash, to-string are implemented.
NMPCache is can be used to store the NMPObject. Objects are indexed
via their primary id, but there is also multi-lookup via NMCacheId
and NMMultiIndex.
Part of the implementation is inside "nm-linux-platform.c",
because it depends on utility functions from there.
