The product names are generally of rather poor quality. The product name
is no place to enumerate product capabilities, the bus it's attached on
and similar nonsense.
If there's a [<string>] that survived the substitution, then the string
is supposed to be a short form that is generally preferrable.
That's great in theory, but actually it's rather often pure garbage for
product names. Let's prefer it just for vendors and provide an option to
drop it (will be useful for fixing up product names).
The hwdb generally contains the strings of rather poor quality,
especially when it comes to sensibly presenting them to the user and
they need various cleanups.
While the following patches add fixups, this one splits out vendor
fixups, because it turns out that a different set of fixups is needed
than for products.
Register empty "NMClient" and "NetworkManager" GIR modules as soon as libnm is
loaded witch gnome-introspection. This prevents the real modules from being
loaded because they would in turn load libnm-glib and abort() and crash.
In particular this prevents the GNOME shell from crashing with
libnm-glib abort and allows gracefully disabling the extensions which
use the obsolete library.
Test:
$ cat test.js
const NM = imports.gi.NM;
print (NM.SecretAgentGetSecretsFlags.ALLOW_INTERACTION);
const NMClient = imports.gi.NMClient;
print (NMClient.SecretAgentGetSecretsFlags.ALLOW_INTERACTION);

$ gjs test.js

Previously, internal parts of libnm were not testable.
Instead, add "libnm/nm-libnm-utils.c" and "libnm/libnm-utils.la"
to contain code that can be statically linked with a new
test "libnm/tests/test-general".
