- make python2 and python3 compatible
- support Checkpoint create flags (requires recent libnm for GI
of flags)
- support adjust-rollback-timeout command
- print elapsed time in show output
We need common operations from the python scripts.
For example, to print the boot-time.
Move such utils to a separate nmex.py file ("ex" for
example). This file should contain helper functions that
are pure python (or, if the have requirements, load them
only on demand, so that examples that need those have
additional dependencies). It should also be simple to extract
individual helpers from nmex, so that the user can take an
example, merge parts of nmex.py in, and modify it to his needs.
Note that this changes API for checkpoint_create_async() in Python
via GIR. Previously it would require an integer argument, now a flags
argument. But this API is still unstable, it will be introduced with
1.12.
We commonly only allow tabs at the beginning of a line, not
afterwards. The reason for this style is so that the code
looks formated right with tabstop=4 and tabstop=8.
Add an example python script to show and set setting's
user-data. This is useful, as nmcli still doesn't support
user data.

Otherwise there is a warning:
from gi.repository import GLib, NM
__main__:1: PyGIWarning: NM was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version(NM, 1.0) before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
May use a lot of improvement (actually documenting the names and
objects that use the interfaces in question), but at least this looks a
lot better on developer.gnome.org.
gi now emits a warning when not loading a specific library
version [1]:
./generate-setting-docs.py:21: PyGIWarning: NM was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version(NM, 1.0) before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
from gi.repository import NM, GObject
Seems require_version() is reasonably old to just always use it without
breaking on older versions [2].

Update the raw D-Bus python examples to use newer APIs where
appropriate (and split the add-connection example into 1.0-only and
0.9-compatible versions). Update the gi-based python examples for the
various API changes since they were last updated.
Also add a comment to the ruby add-connection example pointing out
that it's still using the old settings APIs.
Remove _nm_object_ensure_inited(), etc; objects that implement
GInitable are now mandatory-to-init().
Remove constructor() implementations that sometimes return NULL; do
all the relevant checking in init() instead.
Make nm_client_new() and nm_remote_settings_new() take a GCancellable
and a GError**.
Since the API has not changed at this point, this is mostly just a
matter of updating Makefiles, and changing references to the library
name in comments.
NetworkManager cannot link to libnm due to the duplicated type/symbol
names. So it links to libnm-core.la directly, which means that
NetworkManager gets a separate copy of that code from libnm.so.
Everything else links to libnm.
