Now that NMActiveConnection has IP and DHCP config info, use that
directly in "nmcli con show active" rather than getting it from the
connection's device; this way, we get the right info for VPN
connections as well.
That means you can display single property.
Example:
$ nmcli -f connection.id,802-3-ethernet.mtu s c my-eth-profile
connection.id: my-eth-profile
802-3-ethernet.mtu: auto
and use it for 'nmcli device show'.
This allows filtering output not only for whole groups, but also for individual
fields in commands that print data in groups (sections).
Example:
$ nmcli -f general.device,general.driver,ipv4,ipv6.address device show eth0
GENERAL.DEVICE: eth0
GENERAL.DRIVER: e1000e
IP4.ADDRESS[1]: ip = 10.0.5.228/23, gw = 10.0.5.254
IP4.ADDRESS[2]: ip = 5.5.5.5/32, gw = 5.5.5.1
IP4.DNS[1]: 192.168.122.1
IP4.DNS[2]: 8.8.8.8
IP4.DOMAIN[1]: mycompany.com
Note:
Tilde expansion is enabled, so ~/abc<TAB> expands the string to /home/joe/abc.
However, when user did not use the completion and typed "~/myfile" manually,
the path could not be opened.
nmcli 802-1x.ca-cert> set ~/newca.crt
Error: failed to set 'ca-cert' property: Failed to open file '~/newca.crt': No such file or directory
nmcli con add type team config /home/cimrman/team-config.json
libteam (and in turn NetworkManager) configures team devices via plain config
data in JSON format. However, it is useful and more user-friendly for nmcli to
accept also a file name that contains the config data, and read it. Thus the
user is not forced to type whole (possibly long) config on the command line.
Like 'team', 'team-slave' also understands the property 'config'.
Add it to bash completion for the 'connection add' command.

If the curser is not at the end of the line, we want to complete
by ignoring everything right of the curser. However, the variable
$cur is set to the spaces since the last word, so we have to
get rid of them first
Without this, the following did not complete:
$ nmcli connection modify id <TAB> lo
because $cur is set to ' '.

_init_completion returns the '${words[@]}' array with all the
quotes and escapes. We dont care about it so we drop (unescape)
first.
Before, the following failed:
nmcli 'c' <TAB>
nmcli connection modify id Wireless\ Connection\ 1 <TAB>

Move the checks for nmc_arg_is_help to the beginning of the
checks for command matches.
Up to now, no command begins with 'h', so this has no behavioral
change whatsoever. But imagine a command that begins with 'h'
(for example `nmcli general hostname`), in that case `nmcli general h`
should still show the help, as users might be accustomed to this
abbreviation.

Ensure in matches() that a non-empty cmd is given, otherwise
as currently
nmcli general -
matches to '-h' and is thus treated as
nmcli general -h
