Currently the editor runs in a dedicated thread so that the blocking
call to readline() doesn't stop the processing of D-Bus events in the
main loop. The editor thread can access objects concurrently with the
main thread and this can cause races and crashes.
Remove the editor thread and use the non-blocking readline API.

The error returned to users when a load_connection(s)/set_logging call
fails due to D-Bus policy denial is a bit obscure:
$ nmcli general logging level debug
Error: failed to set logging: Rejected send message, 4 matched rules;
type="method_call", sender=":1.233" (uid=1001 pid=27225 comm="nmcli
general logging level debug ")
interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" member="SetLogging" error
name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.207" (uid=0
pid=25793 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon ")
Convert it to a more comprehensible:
$ nmcli general logging level debug
Error: failed to set logging: access denied

On 32-bit architectures long and int have the same size and thus it's
wrong to use nmc_string_to_int() since it uses strtol() and the @max
argument can't represent G_MAXUINT32. Use nmc_string_to_uint()
instead.

- 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
- it controls echoing passwords input on terminal
- it replaces --show-secrets in 'nmcli connection show', which is deprecated now

The list of LLDP neighbors is available through the D-Bus interface
and libnm already provides functions to retrieve it; make the list
available through nmcli as well. Sample output:

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.
Rather than randomly including one or more of <glib.h>,
<glib-object.h>, and <gio/gio.h> everywhere (and forgetting to include
"nm-glib-compat.h" most of the time), rename nm-glib-compat.h to
nm-glib.h, include <gio/gio.h> from there, and then change all .c
files in NM to include "nm-glib.h" rather than including the glib
headers directly.
(Public headers files still have to include the real glib headers,
since nm-glib.h isn't installed...)
Also, remove glib includes from header files that are already
including a base object header file (which must itself already include
the glib headers).
Create NMIPConfig as the parent of NMIP4Config and NMIP6Config, and
remove the two subclasses from the public API; while it's convenient
to still have both internally, they are now identical to the outside
world.
The gateway is a global property of the IPv4/IPv6 configuration, not
an attribute of any particular address. So represent it as such in the
API; remove the gateway from NMIPAddress, and add it to
NMSettingIPConfig.
Behind the scenes, the gateway is still serialized along with the
first address in NMSettingIPConfig:addresses, and is deserialized from
that if the settings dictionary doesn't contain a 'gateway' key.
Adjust nmcli's interactive mode to prompt for IP addresses and gateway
separately. (Patch partly from Jirka Klimeš.)
Merge NMIP4Address and NMIP6Address into NMIPAddress, and NMIP4Route
and NMIP6Route into NMIPRoute. The new types represent IP addresses as
strings, rather than in binary, and so are address-family agnostic.
libnm mostly used GPtrArrays in its APIs, except that arrays of
connections were usually GSLists. Fix this and make them GPtrArrays
too (and rename nm_client_list_connections() to
nm_client_get_connections() to match everything else).
Make NMIP4Config:nameservers, NMIP4Config:wins-servers, and
NMIP6Config:nameservers be G_TYPE_STRV, with stringified IP addresses,
and update the APIs accordingly.
GLib/Gtk have mostly settled on the convention that two-letter
acronyms in type names remain all-caps (eg, "IO"), but longer acronyms
become initial-caps-only (eg, "Tcp").
NM was inconsistent, with most long acronyms using initial caps only
(Adsl, Cdma, Dcb, Gsm, Olpc, Vlan), but others using all caps (DHCP,
PPP, PPPOE, VPN). Fix libnm and src/ to use initial-caps only for all
three-or-more-letter-long acronyms (and update nmcli and nmtui for the
libnm changes).
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.
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/.
