When the user runs nmtui and selects an operation (edit, connect or
set-hostname) from the initial menu, the expectation is that once the
operation terminates the initial menu is shown again, so that the user
can perform multiple operations (like creating a connection and
activating it) without quitting.

- All internal source files (except "examples", which are not internal)
should include "config.h" first. As also all internal source
files should include "nm-default.h", let "config.h" be included
by "nm-default.h" and include "nm-default.h" as first in every
source file.
We already wanted to include "nm-default.h" before other headers
because it might contains some fixes (like "nm-glib.h" compatibility)
that is required first.
- After including "nm-default.h", we optinally allow for including the
corresponding header file for the source file at hand. The idea
is to ensure that each header file is self contained.
- Don't include "config.h" or "nm-default.h" in any header file
(except "nm-sd-adapt.h"). Public headers anyway must not include
these headers, and internal headers are never included after
"nm-default.h", as of the first previous point.
- Include all internal headers with quotes instead of angle brackets.
In practice it doesn't matter, because in our public headers we must
include other headers with angle brackets. As we use our public
headers also to compile our interal source files, effectively the
result must be the same. Still do it for consistency.
- Except for <config.h> itself. Include it with angle brackets as suggested by
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Configuration-Headers
NetworkManager only allows one 'client:user-id' to register as secret
agent. Thus, when starting nmtui in two terminals, creating the secret
agent can fail.
This can lead to a crash.

The localization headers are now included via "nm-default.h".
Also fixes several places, where we wrongly included <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
instead of <glib/gi18n.h>. For example under "clients/" directory.
set_connection_path() is almost always called right before enable(),
and it's unclear why it would be called anywhere else. So just
merge the two methods.
nm_secret_agent_simple_*() functions should take an
NMSecretAgentSimple, not an NMSecretAgent.
The type macros were incorrectly validating against
NM_TYPE_SECRET_AGENT rather than NM_TYPE_SECRET_AGENT_SIMPLE.
If we're activating the device without knowing the connection in advance, defer
servicing the requests for the secrets until we set the path.
[lkundrak@fedora20-2 ~]$ nmcli --ask c ifname wlan0
(process:18405): libnm-CRITICAL **: nm_object_get_path: assertion 'NM_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Error: Connection activation failed: The device has no connections available.
[lkundrak@fedora20-2 ~]$
When a connection is being activated, nmcli could ask for secrets for another
connection, which might confuse users. We check the request now and only ask
for secrets of connection being activated.
Test case:
$ nmcli con up my-ethernet0
Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'Red Hat'.
Warning: password for '802-1x.identity' not given in 'passwd-file' and nmcli cannot ask without '--ask' option.
Consolidate NMClientError and NMObjectError (such that there is now
only one libnm-API-specific error domain). In particular, merge
NM_CONNECTION_ERROR_CONNECTION_REMOVED with
NM_OBJECT_ERROR_OBJECT_CREATION_FAILURE as the new
NM_CONNECTION_ERROR_OBJECT_CREATION_FAILED.
Also make object_creation_failed() be a plain method rather than a
signal, since there's no reason for anyone to be connecting to it on
another object. And remove its GError argument because the subclass
can just create its own more-specific error.
Make synchronous APIs take GCancellables, and make asynchronous APIs
use GAsyncReadyCallbacks and have names ending in "_async", with
"_finish" functions to retrieve the results.
Also, make nm_client_activate_connection_finish(),
nm_client_add_and_activate_finish(), and
nm_remote_settings_add_connection_finish() be (transfer full) rather
than (transfer none), because the refcounting semantics become
slightly confusing in some edge cases otherwise.
Make register() and unregister() have cancellable sync and async
variants. And make NMSecretAgent implement GInitable/GAsyncInitable,
and do the initial auto-registration as part of initialization rather
than doing it asynchronously and emitting a signal.
Add NetworkManager.h, which includes all of the other NM header, and
require all external users of libnm to use that rather than the
individual headers.
(An exception is made for nm-dbus-interface.h,
nm-vpn-dbus-interface.h, and nm-version.h, which can be included
separately.)
Create a new clients/ subdirectory at the top level, and move cli/ and
tui/ into it, as well as nm-online.c (which was previously in test/,
which made no sense).
cli/ was split into two subdirectories, src/ and completion/. While
this does simplify things (given that the completion file and the
binary both need to be named "nmcli"), it bloats the source tree, and
we can work around it by just renaming the completion file at install
time. Then we can combine the two directories into one and just have
it all under clients/cli/.
