Add a new libnm-glib method to get the type description for a device,
and use it in nmcli. For most types, the type description is based on
the class name, but for NMDeviceGeneric, it comes from the
:type-description property.
Add NMDeviceGeneric, to provide generic support for unknown device
types, and create NMDeviceGenerics for those devices that NM
previously was ignoring. Allow NMSettingGeneric connections to be
activated on (managed) NMDeviceGenerics.
Though the client shouldn't be calling anything when NM isn't running
(because clients have nm_client_get_manager_running()), make sure
that NMClient never calls a NetworkManager method when NM isn't
on the bus.
Next, ensure NMObject doesn't try to refresh properties when NM isn't
running. Creating an NMClient may trigger a property refresh request,
but if NM isn't running, defer that until NM starts, to ensure that
we don't D-Bus autostart NM.
Third, ensure NMRemoteSettings doesn't attempt to list connections
unless NM is running.
This prevents service activation of NetworkManager in lieu of dbus-glib
learning about DBUS_HEADER_FLAG_NO_AUTO_START.
Do NMSettingConnection:interface-name matching on the client side as
well, so that, eg, nm-applet does not list connections under the wrong
device.
(Also, move some return-if-fail checks from the subclass method
implementations into the wrapper function.)

The signal is private for libnm-glib and should not be used externally.
It is emitted when there's an error while creating an object.
In addition, this commit makes use of the signal in NMClient to ensure
that the callbacks are always called for nm_client_activate_connection()
and nm_client_add_and_activate_connection().
Add nm_device_connection_compatible() that returns an error when it fails.
nm_device_connection_valid() does the same work except it doesn't set GError.
Rather than generating enum classes by hand (and complaining in each
file that "this should really be standard"), use glib-mkenums.
Unfortunately, we need a very new version of glib-mkenums in order to
deal with NM's naming conventions and to fix a few other bugs, so just
import that into the source tree temporarily.
Also, to simplify the use of glib-mkenums, import Makefile.glib from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/654395.
To avoid having to run glib-mkenums for every subdirectory of src/,
add a new "generated" directory, and put the generated enums files
there.
Finally, use Makefile.glib for marshallers too, and generate separate
ones for libnm-glib and NetworkManager.
Adds a new "master" property to NMActiveConnection containing the path
of the master NMDevice if the connection has a master.

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.
If the client knows the UUID, add a convenience function to get
the connection path directly, instead of having to iterate the
whole connection list and get each connection's details and then
check the UUID.
A convenience so that clients which might key certain operations off
which connections are active (checking work mail only when on VPN for
example) can more easily get which connections are active. This would
allow those apps to store the UUID (which they would already be doing)
and not have to create a Connection proxy and then get the connection
properties just to retrieve the UUID of the connection. Instead they
can now get it from GetAll of the ActiveConnection object, which they
would already be doing.
These days more and more devices are showing up that support a
number of different access technology families in the same hardware,
like Qualcomm Gobi (CDMA and GSM), Pantech UM190 (CDMA and GSM),
Pantech UML290 (CDMA and LTE), LG VL600 (CDMA and LTE), Sierra
320U (GSM and LTE), etc. The previous scheme of having device
classes based on access technology family simply cannot handle
this hardware and attempting to add LTE to both the CDMA and GSM
device classes would result in a bunch of code duplication that
we don't want. There's a better way...
Instead, combine both CDMA and GSM device classes into a generic
"Modem" device class that provides capabilities indicating what
access technology families a modem supports, and what families
it supports immediately without a firmware reload. (Gobi devices
for example require a firmware reload before they can switch
between GSM and CDMA). This provides the necessary flexibility
to the client and allows us to keep the API stable when the
same consolidation change is made in ModemManager.
The current code doesn't yet allow multi-mode operation internally,
but the API is now what we want it to be and won't need to be
changed.
First, remove anything dbus-glib related from the public API and use
callbacks to handle returning secrets requested by D-Bus. Second,
add helper functions so local code can use the same API to request
secrets.
