Rather than having every property getter method have code to fetch
that specific property's value, just call the new
_nm_object_ensure_inited() (which makes sure that we've read all the
property values on the object at least once), and then return the
cached value. (After we've read the initial property values, the
PropertiesChanged signal handler will ensure that the values are kept
up to date, so we can always just return cached property values after
that point.)
This then lets us get rid of _nm_object_get_property() and its
wrappers.
Rename _nm_object_handle_properties_changed(), etc, to be about
properties in general, rather than just property changes.
Interpret func==NULL in NMPropertiesInfo as meaning "use
_nm_object_demarshal_generic", and then reorder the fields so that you
can just leave that field out in the declarations when it's NULL.
Add a way to register properties that exist in D-Bus but aren't
tracked by the NMObjects, and use that for NMDevice's D-Bus Ip4Address
property, replacing the existing hack.
Also add a few other missing properties noticed along the way.
Most of the code was using dbus_g_proxy_call() directly, but there
were some leftover uses of the generated bindings. Make things more
consistent by using dbus_g_proxy_call() everywhere, and stop building
the -bindings.h files.
Like the *_filter_connections() functions, but for just one connection,
and now the *_filter_connections() functions call these new ones so
it's really just moving code around and not anything new.
These new functions more closely match the usage I've seen from
gnome-shell's network.js and elsewhere.
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.
