After an update of the connection.mdns property, a reactivation is
needed to apply the new value.
Also, the ifcfg-rh variable name was wrong.

Add a new 'match' setting containing properties to match a connection
to devices. At the moment only the interface-name property is present
and, contrary to connection.interface-name, it allows the use of
wildcards.
Add a new option that allows to activate a profile multiple times
(at the same time). Previoulsy, all profiles were implicitly
NM_SETTING_CONNECTION_MULTI_CONNECT_SINGLE, meaning, that activating
a profile that is already active will deactivate it first.
This will make more sense, as we also add more match-options how
profiles can be restricted to particular devices. We already have
connection.type, connection.interface-name, and (ethernet|wifi).mac-address
to restrict a profile to particular devices. For example, it is however
not possible to specify a wildcard like "eth*" to match a profile to
a set of devices by interface-name. That is another missing feature,
and once we extend the matching capabilities, it makes more sense to
activate a profile multiple times.
See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997998, which
previously changed that a connection is restricted to a single activation
at a time. This work relaxes that again.
This only adds the new property, it is not used nor implemented yet.

NM_SETTING_NAME is a special property that only has relevance
to libnm. It is inherited by all NMSetting instances. It is
read-only, and it has no corresponding value on D-Bus or nmcli.
Skip it during generate-setting-docs.py.
This also drops it from `man nm-settings`, where it doesn't belong.
When link auto-negotiation is enabled, by default the network device
advertises all the supported speed and duplex modes in order to
negotiate the fastest link speed with the remote endpoint.
It is possible anyway to configure the device to just advertise and
accept a subset of supported modes.
This could be useful to properly enforce gigabit speeds on Ethernet:
as stated in IEEE 802.3 specification, auto-negotiation is mandatory
for 1000Base-T and 10GBase-T standards.
Allow specific values to 802-3-ethernet.speed and 802-3-ethernet.duplex
properties also when 802-3-ethernet.auto-negotiate=yes: this will
result in link auto-negotiation advertising the specified speed/duplex
mode as the only one available.
It is safer to enable send-sci by default because, at the cost of
8-byte overhead, it makes MACsec work over bridges (note that kernel
also enables it by default). While at it, also make the option
configurable.

allow to specify the DUID to be used int the DHCPv6 client identifier
option: the dhcp-duid property accepts either a hex string or the
special values "lease", "llt", "ll", "stable-llt", "stable-ll" and
"stable-uuid".
"lease": give priority to the DUID available in the lease file if any,
otherwise fallback to a global default dependant on the dhcp
client used. This is the default and reflects how the DUID
was managed previously.
"ll": enforce generation and use of LL type DUID based on the current
hardware address.
"llt": enforce generation and use of LLT type DUID based on the current
hardware address and a stable time field.
"stable-ll": enforce generation and use of LL type DUID based on a
link layer address derived from the stable id.
"stable-llt": enforce generation and use of LLT type DUID based on
a link layer address and a timestamp both derived from the
stable id.
"stable-uuid": enforce generation and use of a UUID type DUID based on a
uuid generated from the stable id.
Add new stable-id specifier "${DEVICE}" to explicitly declare that the
connection's identity differs per-device.
Note that for settings like "ipv6.addr-gen-mode=stable" we already hash
the interface's name. So, in combination with addr-gen-mode, using this
specifier has no real use. But for example, we don't do that for
"ipv4.dhcp-client-id=stable".
Point being, in various context we possibly already include a per-device
token into the generation algorithm. But that is not the case for all
contexts and uses.
Especially the DHCPv4 client identifier is supposed to differ between interfaces
(according to RFC). We don't do that by default with "ipv4.dhcp-client-id=stable",
but with "${DEVICE}" can can now be configured by the user.
Note that the fact that the client-id is the same accross interfaces, is not a
common problem, because profiles are usually restricted to one device via
connection.interface-name.
Otherwise, the generated client-id depends purely on the profile's
stable-id. It means, the same profile (that is, either the same UUID
or same stable-id) on different hosts will result in identical client-ids.
That is clearly not desired. Hash a per-host secret-key as well.
Note, that we don't hash the interface name. So, activating the
profile on different interfaces, will still yield the same client-id.
But also note, that commonly a profile is restricted to one device,
via "connection.interface-name".
Note that this is a change in behavior. However, "ipv4.dhcp-client-id=stable"
was only added recently and not yet released.

Similarly to what systemd-resolved does, introduce the concept of
"routing" domain, which is a domain in the search list that is used
only to decide the interface over which a query must be forwarded, but
is not used to complete unqualified host names. Routing domains are
those starting with a tilde ('~') before the actual domain name.
Domains without the initial tilde are used both for completing
unqualified names and for the routing decision.
The `settings-docs.c` file is generated by processing the
`nm-property-docs.xml` file. Although this works in autotools,
the `.c` extension makes meson not to handle it properly.
Given the fact that it only contains a number of defines it
makes sense to change its extension to `.h` an use it as a header.
This also makes meson to handle it properly and build it before
its used.
