Some type-specific NMSetting implementations (bond, bridge, team, vlan)
have their own 'interface-name' property. This property will be
deprecated in favour of 'interface-name' in NMSettingConnection.
Change verify() and normalize() to check that the redundant
values match and repair/normalize the properties.
Force the virtual interface name of the type-specific setting to be
equal to NMSettingConnection:interface_name. This way, the depreacted
field stays valid and backward compatible.
NMSettingInfiniband is special, because it does not have a backing
property for the interface name, although it implements
get_virtual_iface_name(). To account for this, some special handling
is needed in order not to change the behaviour of get_virtual_iface_name().

Remove all the GParamSpec docs, since everything now uses the gtk-doc
docs instead, so there's no point in having two copies of each (which
are often out of sync anyway).
Since we're touching so many lines anyway, also fix up the indentation
of the remaining property-installing lines, and add
G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS to each paramspec (so the nick strings don't
get strduped). Also, be consistent about starting a new line between
"g_object_class_install_property" and its opening parenthesis.
Fix up various issues with the docs for the NMSetting properties, and
pull in text from the GParamSpec docs where the GParamSpec docs were
better (or contained information that is necessary in the context of
nm-settings.5).
Also, consistently wrap all of the doc comments to the same width (80
columns).
- refactor register_settings to allow lookup by GType and
add the settings name to SettingInfo.
- setting NM_SETTING_NAME is deprecated and should not be set anymore.
Indeed it has always be a bug, to reset the name to a different value.
The only valid place to set the name was in the _init() function of
the derived class itself.
This is now no longer needed/possible. Instead the name get's
detected based on the registered setting types. This makes use of
the registered metadata that is available anyway since every
usable setting has to register itself.

INFERRABLE means the opposite of CANDIDATE; a property which NetworkManager
can read ("infer") from the system or the kernel when generating
connections. CANDIDATE isn't a great name and thus dies.
For settings corresponding to devices that have a :carrier property
(ie bond, bridge, infiniband, vlan, and wired), add a :carrier-detect
property specifying how that affects the connection:
yes: The connection can only be activated when the device
has carrier, and will be deactivated if the device loses
carrier (for more than 4 seconds).
no: The connection ignores carrier on the device; it can be
activated when there is no carrier, and stays activated
when carrier is lost.
on-activate: The connection can only be activated when the
device has carrier, but it will not be deactivated if the
device loses carrier.

Make setting type registration less icky; instead of having the
connection register all the settings, have the settings themselves
register that information at library load time. Putting this sort
of thing in G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE is apparently more standard
than the home-rolled stuff we had before. Also document the
priority stuff so when adding new settings, people know what
priority to use.

It is currently not possible to create a connection where the
connection-type-specific NMSetting has all default values. This hasn't
been a problem in the past because each type had at least one property
that either had no default value or had a default value that didn't
pass verify(). But NMSettingInfiniband didn't have that property, so
it's impossible to create an InfiniBand connection unless you change
the value of at least InfiniBand-specific setting.
Work around this for now by making the default value of
NMSettingInfiniband:transport-mode be NULL, so it needs to be
overridden.
"InfiniBand" has a capital "B". Fix that everywhere it's being used as
a human-readable string.
In particular, the RH initscripts recognize "TYPE=infiniband" and
"TYPE=InfiniBand", but not "TYPE=Infiniband", which is what we were
writing before.
Rather than generating enum classes by hand (and complaining in each
file that "this should really be standard"), use glib-mkenums.
Unfortunately, we need a very new version of glib-mkenums in order to
deal with NM's naming conventions and to fix a few other bugs, so just
import that into the source tree temporarily.
Also, to simplify the use of glib-mkenums, import Makefile.glib from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/654395.
To avoid having to run glib-mkenums for every subdirectory of src/,
add a new "generated" directory, and put the generated enums files
there.
Finally, use Makefile.glib for marshallers too, and generate separate
ones for libnm-glib and NetworkManager.
