If BOOTPROTO is set to "none", user states that no ipv4 setting should
be set. So respect that.
Introduce helper is_any_ip4_address_defined() along the way to make the
code more readable.

To better handle broken hardware, like switches which don't pass
traffic for a few seconds after a carrier has been negotiated,
add a timeout to control how long to wait for successful pings
of the gateway before giving up and proceeding with IP config.
Default is 0, which means don't ping the gateway, just assume
the NIC/switch aren't lying and can pass traffic immediately.
Add nm_utils_hwaddr_ntoa_len() and nm_utils_hwaddr_aton_len(), which
take a length rather than a type, which is generally more convenient,
and also necessary if you might be encountering devices of unknown
types.
When requesting connections to ModemManager, NetworkManager shouldn't try to
request specific bands or network types to use. Leave those requests to other
system configuration tools talking directly to ModemManager.

Use the new NMConnection 'changed' signal to mark connections
as dirty/unsaved, and reset that when they get flushed to disk.
Previously, the 'Updated' signal was emitted only when the
connection was changed and flushed to disk, but now we have
more granular needs, and the signal is emitted whenever the
connection actually *is* changed, regardless of whether its
flushed to disk or not.
4d326182 changed connection hashing slightly such that now base type settings
are always returned even if they are empty. Unfortunately a bunch of code in
the settings hashed connections with the ONLY_SECRETS flag and then checked
whether the returned hash was NULL or not to determine whether there were
any secrets, and then called nm_connection_update_secrets() with the hash.
nm_connection_update_secrets() would fail in the case where a setting
name was given, but the passed-in secrets hash did not contain any secrets
for the requested setting. Instead, the function should return success
to match the semantics of passing in an entire connection hash which may
not have any secrets either.
and use it in 'allowed-bands' property installation.
The macro NM_SETTING_GSM_BANDS_MAX also allows libnm-util users to check
if bands are valid (before setting them).
nm_setting_to_hash() would return NULL if the setting had entirely
default values, but this effectively meant that you could never have a
connection whose "connection type" setting (eg, NMSettingWired) had
all default values. (This ended up not usually being a problem in
practice because most such settings had at least one property with a
mandatory string value where the GObject property had a default value
of NULL.)
However, NMSettingGeneric will have no properties, so it would always
get stripped out when converting to a hash, invalidating the
connection. Fix that.
When 'connection' and 'new_connection' arguments are the same object make the
function no-op and simply return true. Otherwise 'connection's settings are
removed, making it invalid.

The various need_secrets() implementation do allocate a fresh GPtrArray, but
add static strings to them without dup'ing. Thus callers must _not_ free the
array elements, only the array itself. Adjust documentation and annotations
accordingly.
Also adjust the corresponding comment in the goi-list-connections.py example.

Convenience function to replace settings in one conneciton with settings
from another, without having to go through the nm_connection_to_hash()
steps, which are just inefficient and kinda pointless.
We want to free the element data, then remove the element from the
list. Instead the code freed the element data, then treated the
element data pointer as a GSList link, which is completely wrong.
to match other property removal functions, like nm_setting_bond_remove_option()
or nm_setting_wired_remove_s390_option().
Note:
This is an API change, make sure to bump soname when releasing libnm-util.
