At some point gobject-introspection added an API to add a library path
and stopped honoring the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (a bug, according to GI
documentation?).
(cherry picked from commit 6c96aafaa9)
gi now emits a warning when not loading a specific library
version [1]:
./generate-setting-docs.py:21: PyGIWarning: NM was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version(NM, 1.0) before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
from gi.repository import NM, GObject
Seems require_version() is reasonably old to just always use it without
breaking on older versions [2].

Now that nm-setting-docs.xml is more D-Bus-specific, it's less
appropriate for nmcli's internal documentation. So generate a second
copy of the docs without using the overrides file, and use that one
for nmcli's documentation.
Add "---dbus---" sections to the NMSetting property docs, in the same
style as the plugin docs, parse them out into a file
"nm-setting-docs-overrides.xml", and use them to override the GObject
property docs in nm-setting-docs.xml.
This lets us put more D-Bus-specific information in the setting docs,
without cluttering up the property docs, and it also lets us document
dbus-only properties.
Add nm_setting_get_dbus_property_type(), and use this to get the
correct type for properties in nm-seting-docs.xml, in situations where
the D-Bus and GObject property types don't match.
In the case of enum/flags-valued properties, give both the enum name
and the underlying D-Bus type.
Move the settings/plugins doc generation from libnm-util to
libnm-core, since libnm-util isn't being updated for all new
properties.
With this commit, the keyfile and ifcfg-rh documentation is basically
unchanged, except that deprecated properties are now gone, and new
properties have been added, and the sections are in a different order.
(generate-plugin-docs.pl just outputs the settings in Makefile order,
and they were unsorted in libnm-util, but are sorted in libnm-core).
The settings documentation used for nm-settings.5, the D-Bus API docs,
and the nmcli help is changed a bit more at this point, and mostly for
the worse, since the libnm-core setting properties don't match up with
the D-Bus API as well as the libnm-util ones do. To be fixed...
(I also removed the "plugins docs" line in each plugin docs comment
block while moving them, since those blocks will be used for more than
just plugins soon, and it's sort of obvious anyway.)
