- refactor register_settings to allow lookup by GType and
add the settings name to SettingInfo.
- setting NM_SETTING_NAME is deprecated and should not be set anymore.
Indeed it has always be a bug, to reset the name to a different value.
The only valid place to set the name was in the _init() function of
the derived class itself.
This is now no longer needed/possible. Instead the name get's
detected based on the registered setting types. This makes use of
the registered metadata that is available anyway since every
usable setting has to register itself.

It is better to leave it to user whether he wants to enable sending hostname,
because he probably disabled it manually (dhcp-send-hostname is TRUE by default).
Also, this would not work for plugins that read and set dhcp-hostname after
dhcp-send-hostname.

Commit 6abc7b78f6 introduced a
bug in nm_connection_diff() by not reading the property value with
g_object_get_property().

nm_connection_diff must also use the virtual functions like
nm_connection_compare. This way, settings can overwrite the default
comparison of individual properties.

INFERRABLE means the opposite of CANDIDATE; a property which NetworkManager
can read ("infer") from the system or the kernel when generating
connections. CANDIDATE isn't a great name and thus dies.
This reverts commit f43586fc17.
This broke stuff as "name" was set on various places after construction. So we
revert the commit for now, and will rework it.
Make the name property CONSTRUCT_ONLY. With this there is also no more
need to overwrite the constructor().

The public property is called NM_SETTING_VLAN_INTERFACE_NAME,
so also the internal field and the PROP_* enum should carry
the same name.

nm_connection_dump is mainly used for printf debugging, so
no need about being overly critical about not accepting NULL.
Just don't dump anything.

When settings are NULL or empty in impl_manager_add_and_activate_connection(),
the connection is created and completed by nm_utils_complete_generic() or
nm_device_complete_connection().
Also, do not assert in nm_connection_is_type(). Returning FALSE there is
sufficient.

nm_setting_bond_add_option returns TRUE or FALSE indicating, whether
the bond option was properly set. So, the API already kind of expects
invalid values, so there is no reason to warn about it.

NMSettingConnection was making sure that bond slaves didn't have an IP
configuration, but it should have been making that check for bridge
and team slaves too.
Several settings types' verify() functions need to find a particular
setting from the all_settings list that NMConnection passes them. Add
a convenience function for this.
When freeing one of the collections such as GArray, GPtrArray, GSList,
etc. it is common that the items inside the connections must be
freed/unrefed too.
The previous code often iterated over the collection first with
e.g. g_ptr_array_foreach and passing e.g. g_free as GFunc argument.
For one, this has the problem, that g_free has a different signature
GDestroyNotify then the expected GFunc. Moreover, this can be
simplified either by setting a clear function
(g_ptr_array_set_clear_func) or by passing the destroy function to the
free function (g_slist_free_full).

gtk-doc recognizes that #NMFoos is the plural of #NMFoo now, so you
don't need to put an empty comment between the type name and the "s"
to make it work. (Unfortunately, it's not smart enough to realize that
"NMIP4Addresses" is the plural of "NMIP4Address".)
Also, add some missing "#"s noticed along the way.
Currently, ethernet-based VLANs can specify the hardware address of
the parent device (and, in theory, the cloned hardware address and MTU
of the VLAN device) by using an NMSettingWired in addition to the
NMSettingVlan.
The theory was that non-ethernet-based VLANs, when we eventually
supported them, would likewise use the setting type corresponding to
their parent device. However, this turns out to be both complicated
(the settings plugins and connection editor would have a
hard-to-impossible time figuring out which setting type to use in some
cases) and incorrect (for most L2 settings [eg, BSSID, bond mode,
etc], the VLAN can't have its own values separate from the parent
device).
What we should have done was just have :mac-address,
:cloned-mac-address, and :mtu properties on NMSettingVlan. However, at
this point, for backward-compatibility, we will just stick with using
a combination of NMSettingVlan and NMSettingWired, but we will use
NMSettingWired regardless of the underlying hardware type.
Old versions such as 0.9.4 generated 40-character UUIDs with no
hashes, but libnm-util regards them as invalid. That means that
existing connections stop working when upgrading from 0.9.4.
Continue accepting such UUIDs as valid, and add a test so that
we don't forget in future.
'security' property is redundant, because the security restrictions are easily
recognized by the presence of '802-11-wireless-security' in a Wi-Fi connection.
The setting has to be present anyway, but we also had to set and check whether
the value in 'security' matches the security setting.
Following the KISS principle, it is best not to use the 'security' property
altogether.
Unfortunately, $(AM_CPPFLAGS) gets overridden by per-target _CPPFLAGS
variables, which $(INCLUDES) did not, so this requires some additional
changes.
In most places, I have just gotten rid of the per-target _CPPFLAGS
variables; in directories with a single target, the per-target
variable is unnecessary, and in directories with multiple targets, the
per-target variable is often undesirable, since it forces some files
to be compiled twice, even though there ends up being no difference
between the two files.
