There are so many... so handle them as a table of key/value pairs
instead of having separate functions for each one. At the moment
nothing but subchannels is used internally, but this allows plugins
to preserve options that NM doesn't care about when reading/writing
system configuration.
This commit implements MAC cloning feature in NetworkManager. To support that,
'PermHwAddress' property is added into *.Device.Wired and *.Device.Wireless
interfaces. The permanent MAC address is obtained when creating the device, and
is used for 'locking' connections to the device. If a cloned MAC is specified
in connection to be activated, the MAC is set to the interface in stage1. While
disconecting, the permanent MAC is set back to the interface.
On s390 and z-Series, the hypervisor assigns the MAC address, so we
need to use subchannels to uniquely identify the device instead of
using the MAC address.
Add a GError argument to nm_connection_verify() and nm_setting_verify(),
and add error enums to each NMSetting subclass. Each NMSetting subclass now
returns a descriptive GError when verification fails.

Rework NMSetting structures: Move each setting to it's own file.
Convert to GObject. Remove home grown setting types and use
GTypes.
Use GObject property introspection for hash conversion,
enumerating
properties, etc.

New files, each containing a setting.
* libnm-util/nm-setting-template.[ch]: A template for creating
* new
settings. To use it, just replace 'template' with the new
setting
name, and you're half-way done.
* libnm-util/nm-setting.c: Convert to GObject and use GObject
introspection instead of internal types and tables.
* libnm-util/nm-connection.c: Adapt the new NMSetting work.
* libnm-util/nm-param-spec-specialized.[ch]: Implement. Handles
GValue types defined by dbus-glib for composed types like
collections,
structures and maps.
* src/*: The API of NMSetting and NMConnection changed a bit:
* Getting
a setting from connection takes the setting type now. Also,
since
the settings are in multiple files, include relevant settings.
