When ipv4=auto and ipv6=auto, we'll first try with the IPv4v6 PDP type, and if
that fails (e.g. if either the modem or the operator doesn't support it), we'll
fallback to trying with IPv4 or IPv6 PDP types (only if may-fail configuration
allows it).
Patch based on a previous implementation by Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com>

Since GCC 4.4, gcc does not warn about unknown -Wno-* flags. At
least, it does not warning unless another warning is raised as well
(https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#wnowarning).
We didn't notice up to now, because we only tested flags that GCC
actually supports.
Hack around this, by checking for the -W* counterpart instead.
It's always user requested -- auto activation never happens on already active
devices. nm_device_release_one_slave() rightly asserts teardown with
(un)configuration does not happen for no reason at all.

It was confusing to understand the difference between calling nm_device_connection_is_available()
and check_connection_available(), they behaved similar, but not really
the same. Especially nm_device_connection_is_available() would look
first into @available_connetions, and might call check_connection_available()
itself. Whereas @available_connetions was also populated by testing
check_connection_available(). This interrelation makes it hard to
understand when nm_device_connection_is_available() returned true.
Rename nm_device_connection_is_available() to nm_device_check_connection_available()
and remove all direct calls of check_connection_available() in favor of
the wrapper nm_device_check_connection_available().
Now we only call nm_device_check_connection_available() with different
parameters (@flags and @specific_object). We also have the additional
guarantee that specifying more @flags will widen the result and making
a connection "more" available, while specifying a @specific_object will
restrict it.
This also changes behavior in several cases. For example before
nm_device_connection_is_available() for user-requests would always
declare matching connections available on Wi-Fi devices (only)
regardless of the device state. Now the device state gets consistently
considered.
For default-unmanaged devices it also changes behavior in complicated
ways, because before we would put connections into @available_connetions
for every device-state, but nm_device_connection_is_available() had a
special over-ride only for unmanaged-state.
This also fixes a bug, that user can activate an unavailable Wi-Fi
device:
nmcli radio wifi off
nmcli connection up wlan0
Having logging statements in a simple getter (or is_*()) means
you cannot call these functions without cluttering the log.
Another approach would be to add an @out_reason argument, and
callers who actually care log the reason. For now, just get rid
of the messages.
The argument name should express what the caller wants
(he wants to know, whether the connection can be activated
for an internal or external activation request).
Whether that involves checking device-specific overrides, is
not the point -- nm_device_check_connection_compatible() is
also a virtual function with device-specific overrides.
There are three configuration options that contain device specs:
'main.ignore-carrier', 'main.no-auto-default', and
'keyfile.unmanaged-devices'.
Unify the parsing of them by splitting the device spec with
nm_match_spec_split(). This changes behavior for parsing of these
properties.
Also get rid of logging warnings when parsing 'keyfile.unmanaged-devices'.
There are currently three device spec properties: 'main.ignore-carrier',
'main.no-auto-default' and 'keyfile.unmanaged-devices'.
The first two, called g_key_file_parse_value_as_string() to split
the string into individual device specs. This uses ',' as separator
and supports escaping using '\\'.
'keyfile.unmanaged-devices' is split using ',' or ';' as separator
without supporting escaping.
Add a new function nm_match_spec_split(), to unify these two behaviors
and support both formats. That is, both previous formats are mostly
supported, but obviously there are some behavioral changes if the string
contains one of '\\', ',', or ';'.
nm_match_spec_split() is copied from glibs g_key_file_parse_value_as_string()
and adjusted.
Extend nm_match_spec_*() to support an "except:" prefix to negate
the result of a match. "except:" only works when followed by
an exact match type, for example "except:interface-name:vboxnet0",
but not "except:vboxnet0".
A matching "except:" spec always wins, regardless of other positive
matchings.
This includes several changes how to match device specs:
- matching the interface name is no longer case-insenstive as
interface names themselves are case-sensitive.
- Now we skip patterns that start with "mac:" or "s390-subchannels:"
for comparing interface names. Previously a spec "mac:1" would have
matched an interface named "mac:1", now it doesn't.
To match such an interface, you would have to specify
"interface-name:mac:1".
- previously, a pattern "a" would have matched an interface
named "interface-name:a", now it doesn't. Since valid interface
name (in the kernel) can be at most 15 characters long, this is
however no problem.
- if the spec has the prefix "interface-name:", we support
simple globbing using GPatternSpec. Globbing without exact
spec type will still not match "vboxnet*" -- with the exception
of "*".
You can disable globbing by putting an '=' immediately
after the ':'.
(a) "interface-name:em1" | matches "em1"
(b) "interface-name:em*" | matches "em", "em1", "em2", etc.
(c) "interface-name:em\*" | matches "em\", "em\1", etc.
(d) "interface-name:=em*" | matches "em*"
(e) "em*" | matches "em*"
This changes behavior, in that we now ignore keyfiles that
start with a dot ('.'). This means, that connection with ids
starting with a dot, will be ignored.

We have nm_keyfile_plugin_utils_should_ignore_file() to ignore certain
files based on patterns. We also need a matching escape function to
avoid saving connections with a name we would ignore later.
