The previous ignore-carrier rules did not work well with dynamic IP
(dhcp/slaac) connections. Change the rule so that only static IP
connections can be activated when carrier is not present (but both
static and dynamic connections will remain up when carrier is lost).
Add a "monitor-connection-files" config option, which can be set to
"false" to disable automatic reloading of connections on file change.
To go with this, add a new ReloadConnections method on
o.fd.NM.Settings that can be used to manually reload connections, and
add an nm-cli command to call it.
doing:
./configure --disable-gtk-doc
make clean
make
from a tarball build (or from a dirty tree that had previously had an
--enable-gtk-doc build) would fail, because configure would see the
pre-existing man pages and set INSTALL_PREGEN_MANPAGES, but "make
clean" would delete them, and there'd be no rule to regenerate them.
Optional 'ifname' allowed creating connection applicable to all interfaces,
which was confusing for some users. Now we require the user to provide ifname
to lock the connection for an interface. An "unbound" connection can be
created with ifname "*".
$ nmcli connection add type eth ifname eth0
$ nmcli connection add type eth
now becomes
$ nmcli connection add type eth ifname "*"
bond, bridge:
- when ifname is not specified or is "*",
interface name is generated (nm-bond, nm-bridge)
vlan:
- when ifname is not specified or is "*",
vlan device is named "dev.id"
Note: the quotes around * are required to suppress shell expansion.
Add single-letter options for --version, --no-daemon, --debug, and
--pid-file (and document them, as well as the existing single-letter
option for --help).

When run with --no-daemon, NM used to duplicate all syslog output to
stderr, for ease of debugging. But this meant it had to tell systemd
to ignore stderr, so you wouldn't get duplicated log entries. But that
meant we lost error messages that didn't go through nm_log. (eg,
g_warning()s and g_return_if_fail()s).
Fix this by making --no-daemon no longer duplicate syslog output to
stderr, and removing the "StandardError=null" from the systemd service
file. To get the old behavior, you can use --debug instead of
--no-daemon.

dist tarballs shouldn't ever be released without the documentation,
and this allows us to build the tarballs with pre-generated docs
that get installed on the end system, but don't need to be built
there. So the end system doesn't need gtk-doc installed, only
the dist system does.

DocBook is not my favorite thing in the world, but it's
<lots-of-emphasis>far</lots-of-emphasis> saner than troff. Some style
parts cribbed from systemd.
This is preparatory work for actually improving the content of the
man pages.
Make the main/dns config key be a single value rather than a list of
plugins. Since there is currently only one valid value for it
("dnsmasq"), this is backward-compatible.
In the future, it will be possible to specify custom DNS-configuring
scripts here, which is a more flexible way of handling complicated
behavior than trying to create chainable internal plugins.
Add an ignore-carrier option to NetworkManager.conf, for specifying
devices where carrier state should be ignored for purposes of
activating/deactivating connections.
Add a new configuration directory ($nmconfdir/conf.d by default,
overridable via the --config-dir command-line option) that can contain
".conf" files that will be parsed in asciibetical order to override
the main NetworkManager.conf file.
In addition to simple overrides, the conf files also support appending
to the value of a previously-set list-valued key, by doing, eg,
"plugins+=foo"

There is no reason to configure the connectivity-check options from
the command line rather than from the config file. Keep the options,
for backward-compatibility, but remove them from the man page and hide
them from --help.
In that mode, we shouldn't attempt to generate any manpages. While
we're here, rewrite this file (using nonrecursive style) so we don't
install non-generated ones either.
