At various places, nmcli requires to specify a VPN type by name, for example
$ nmcli connection add type vpn ifname '*' vpn-type $VPN_TYPE
This $VPN_TYPE used to be a hard-coded list of known VPN plugin names.
But actually, it should be a VPN service-type. A service-type used to be
the D-Bus name of the VPN plugin. Now, with multiple VPN support that
is no longer the case, but it still has the form of a D-Bus bus name.
Alternativley, it could be an alias, which is just a way for plugins
to support multiple service-types.
Fix that, to support fully qualified service-types in the form
of D-Bus bus names. Also, support lookup by name, in which case
the present plugin-info instances are searched.
Finally, support a list of hard-code short-names.
All the logic how to translate a short-name to a fully qualified
service-type is now inside libnm, so that various user agree on
those names and don't have to hard-code them each.
g_qsort_with_data() passes the pointers to the compared items to the
compare function, that is not the "const char *" pointers itself.

Add new Reload D-Bus command to reload NetworkManager configuration.
For now, this is like sending SIGHUP to the process. There are several
advantages here:
- it is guarded via PolicyKit authentication while signals
can only be sent by root.
- the user can wait for the reload to be complete instead of sending
an asynchronous signal. For now, we operation completes after
nm_config_reload() returns, but later we could delay the response
further until specific parts are fully reloaded.
- SIGHUP reloads everything including re-reading configuration from
disk while SIGUSR1 reloads just certain parts such as writing out DNS
configuration anew.
Now, the Reload command has a flags argument which is more granular
in selecting parts which are to be reloaded. For example, via
signals the user can:
1) send SIGUSR1: this writes out the DNS configuration to
resolv.conf and possibly reloads other parts without
re-reading configuration and without restarting the DNS plugin.
2) send SIGHUP: this reloads configuration from disk,
writes out resolv.conf and restarts the DNS plugin.
There is no way, to only restart the DNS plugin without also reloading
everything else.
Add a new "Config" property to the D-Bus interface for team devices
and show its value through "nmcli device show". The property contains
the full JSON configuration from teamd for the device.

As explained in the function comment, a NULL value for @val is
acceptable. Otherwise:
$ nmcli connection edit
(process:2276): nmcli-CRITICAL **: check_valid_name: assertion 'val' failed
Fixes: fb8fe1d8cb
Instead of using (only) a hard-coded list of VPN types,
prefer lookup the VPN settings from the .name files.
Still, fallback to a hard-coded list if the plugin cannot
be found, because for connection-add we currently don't
actually need the plugin installed.
Just like `nmcli device connect` only allows one argument, don't allow
multiple device arguments for reapply.
Allowing multiple device names makes it more complicated to add
additional options to the command. For example, it would be useful
to have a
nmcli device reapply eth0 connection id other-connection
but when allowing multiple device names, it gets more complicated in
documentation, command line parsing and bash completion.
Note that the user can achieve a very similar outcome by using the
shell:
for DEV in eth0 eth1 eth2; do
nmcli device reapply $DEV &
done
wait
argubaly, this doesn't report the exit status properly. To properly
handle that would require more effort. Also, it is somewhat less
efficient, but well.
This is an API change, however it is very new API that probably nobody
is using much. Also, the documentation (man nmcli) didn't mention the
possibility to pass multiple device names.
<gmodule.h> is implicitly included by <gio/gio.h> which is available
everywhere. For that reason, we would not have to include this header
at all. However, it is recommended to explicitly include <gmodule.h>
where needed.
So, include it where needed -- if <gio/gio.h> wouldn't be there --
and drop it from where it is not needed.
When performing NM package upgrade the new version of nmcli will be immediately
available while NM daemon will not, as it would not restart in order to avoid
to disrupt connectivity. This could create issues with tools leveraging
on nmcli output (till reboot). As apart from this case it is very unlikely
that a user can have this nmcli / NM daemon version mismatch situation,
the check could cause more harm than benefit in real user case
scenarios.

The top-level form was left on screen after exit (this is visible only
on some types of terminal as vt100), breaking automated tests.

When the user runs nmtui and selects an operation (edit, connect or
set-hostname) from the initial menu, the expectation is that once the
operation terminates the initial menu is shown again, so that the user
can perform multiple operations (like creating a connection and
activating it) without quitting.

For internal compilation we want to be able to use deprecated
API without warnings.
Define the version min/max macros to effectively disable deprecation
warnings.
However, don't do it via CFLAGS option in the makefiles, instead hack it
to "nm-default.h". After all, *every* source file that is for internal
compilation needs to include this header as first.
The bond 'arp_ip_target' option contains a list of comma-separated IP
addresses; but comma is also used to separate options and so at the
moment it is not possible to specify multiple IPs as the command
$ nmcli c m b1 bond.options \
mode=0,arp_interval=1,arp_ip_target=1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2
interprets 2.2.2.2 as the next option.
Allows spaces to be used as separators for the IPs of the
'arp_ip_target':
$ nmcli c m b1 bond.options \
"mode=0,arp_interval=1,arp_ip_target=1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2"
We actually don't want to understand these options unless the legacy
*-slave types are used. The properties should be used directly instead.

This basically undoes most of what has been done in commit 00e0fffea2.
In previous releases 'nmcli connection m' was interpreted as 'modify',
but recently the monitor command was introduced with a higher
priority, changing the behavior when the abbreviated form is
used.
Restore the old behavior.

Use g_error_matches() where we're testing error codes. In particular,
use it rather than looking at only ->code and not also ->domain, which
is just wrong.
[thaller@redhat.com: rebase and modify original patch]
Functions that take a GError** MUST fill it in on error. There is no
need to check whether error is NULL if the function it was passed to
had a failing return value.
Likewise, a proper GError must have a non-NULL message, so there's no
need to double-check that either.

- All internal source files (except "examples", which are not internal)
should include "config.h" first. As also all internal source
files should include "nm-default.h", let "config.h" be included
by "nm-default.h" and include "nm-default.h" as first in every
source file.
We already wanted to include "nm-default.h" before other headers
because it might contains some fixes (like "nm-glib.h" compatibility)
that is required first.
- After including "nm-default.h", we optinally allow for including the
corresponding header file for the source file at hand. The idea
is to ensure that each header file is self contained.
- Don't include "config.h" or "nm-default.h" in any header file
(except "nm-sd-adapt.h"). Public headers anyway must not include
these headers, and internal headers are never included after
"nm-default.h", as of the first previous point.
- Include all internal headers with quotes instead of angle brackets.
In practice it doesn't matter, because in our public headers we must
include other headers with angle brackets. As we use our public
headers also to compile our interal source files, effectively the
result must be the same. Still do it for consistency.
- Except for <config.h> itself. Include it with angle brackets as suggested by
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Configuration-Headers
