Some variables belong to variables in their correspondent pkg-config
file.
These variables have been renamed to `dependency_variable` to
reflect the dependency and variables from pkg-config files they are
related to.
Some of these has also been fixed to use paths relative to
installation prefix.
Qt dependencies have been moved to the main build file where the
rest of dependencies are located. This makes it easier to find them.
The included directories has also reviewed and removed the
unnecessary ones.
The variable holding the compiler flags, `cflags`, has been renamed
to `c_flags` to be consistent with the rest of build files.
Different objects used in the `test-dispatcher-envp` target
have been grouped together.
The dependency over the `libnm` library has been removed as it is
unnecessary.
The `ifcfg-rh` meson build file installs a new post install script
to create the `network-config` directory.
This has been moved to the main post install file so it's easier to
find because all post install steps are together and it avoids and
extra post install script execution.
There are multiple conditional steps for building encryption
support. This is because the support varies from `gnutls` or `nss`.
This has been improved to reduce the number of used conditions.
The used meson modules, default directories and includes have been
moved to the start of the build file, just after project related
information, so they are available early.
Functions derived from generators as `configure_file`,
`custom_target` and `i18n.merge_file` can use placeholders like
`@BASENAME@` that removes the extension from the input filename
string.
The output string has been replaced by this placeholder that
allows in some cases the use of less variables.
After 1.20.0 is released, merge it back into master so that
1.20.0 is part of the history of master. That means,
$ git log --first-parent master
will also traverse 1.20.0 and 1.20-rc*.
Also bump the micro version to 1.21.1-dev to indicate that this is
after 1.20.0 is out.
The functionality of the ibft settings plugin is now handled by
nm-initrd-generator. There is no need for it anymore, drop it.
Note that ibft called iscsiadm, which requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN to work
([1]). We really want to drop this capability, so the current solution
of a settings plugin (as it is implemented) is wrong. The solution
instead is nm-initrd-generator.
Also, on Fedora the ibft was disabled and probably on most other
distributions as well. This was only used on RHEL.

clang on CentOS 7.6 (3.4.2-9.el7) warns:

This warning totally defeats the purpose of why we use the pragma in the
first place.
After 1.18.0 is released, merge it back into master so that
1.18.0 is part of the history of master. That means,
$ git log --first-parent master
will also traverse 1.18.0 and 1.18-rc*.
Also bump the micro version to 1.19.1-dev to indicate that this is

Otherwise, the meson configure step fails with:
libnm/fake-typelib/meson.build:23:0: ERROR: The "dependencies" argument of gnome.compile_resources() can not
be used with the current version of glib-compile-resources due to
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774368>
The fake-typelib is not really essential. Don't fix it, just print
a warning that we are unable to build it.
This removes libnm-glib, libnm-glib-vpn, and libnm-util for good.
The it has been replaced with libnm since NetworkManager 1.0, disabled
by default since 1.12 and no up-to-date distributions ship it for years
now.
Removing the libraries allows us to:
* Remove the horrible hacks that were in place to deal with accidental use
of both the new and old library in a single process.
* Relief the translators of maintenance burden of similar yet different
strings.
* Get rid of known bad code without chances of ever getting fixed
(libnm-glib/nm-object.c and libnm-glib/nm-object-cache.c)
* Generally lower the footprint of the releases and our workspace
If there are some really really legacy users; they can just build
libnm-glib and friends from the NetworkManager-1.16 distribution. The
D-Bus API is stable and old libnm-glib will keep working forever.

The defaults for test timeouts in meson is 30 seconds. That is not long
enough when running
$ NMTST_USE_VALGRIND=1 ninja -C build test
Note that meson supports --timeout-multiplier, and automatically
increases the timeout when running under valgrind. However, meson
does not understand that we are running tests under valgrind via
NMTST_USE_VALGRIND=1 environment variable.
Timeouts are really not expected to be reached and are a mean of last
resort. Hence, increasing the timeout to a large value is likely to
have no effect or to fix test failures where the timeout was too rigid.
It's unlikely that the test indeed hangs and the increase of timeout
causes a unnecessary increase of waittime before aborting.
It's not useful for us.

The variable containing the list of compiler arguments to be checked
can be removed without any harm to readibility.
The variable has been removed by appending directly to the list of
common compiler arguments, those that are supported.
