This changes behaviour of nm_connection_update_secrets() in that it will
now return %TRUE, if there are no secrets to be cleared. Seems more
correct, to return success if there is nothing to do.

Often, nm_connection_clear_secrets does have no consequences, because
there is nothing to be cleared. Only raise a signal, if something
actually changed.

- refactor register_settings to allow lookup by GType and
add the settings name to SettingInfo.
- setting NM_SETTING_NAME is deprecated and should not be set anymore.
Indeed it has always be a bug, to reset the name to a different value.
The only valid place to set the name was in the _init() function of
the derived class itself.
This is now no longer needed/possible. Instead the name get's
detected based on the registered setting types. This makes use of
the registered metadata that is available anyway since every
usable setting has to register itself.

INFERRABLE means the opposite of CANDIDATE; a property which NetworkManager
can read ("infer") from the system or the kernel when generating
connections. CANDIDATE isn't a great name and thus dies.
Several settings types' verify() functions need to find a particular
setting from the all_settings list that NMConnection passes them. Add
a convenience function for this.
Make setting type registration less icky; instead of having the
connection register all the settings, have the settings themselves
register that information at library load time. Putting this sort
of thing in G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE is apparently more standard
than the home-rolled stuff we had before. Also document the
priority stuff so when adding new settings, people know what
priority to use.

Not all connections will require every secret, and sometimes we
can't automatically figure out whether we need the secret. For
vpnc sometimes the group password isn't used, and sometimes PPP
providers require a username but don't want a password, etc.
