Fixes the parsing for correct and incorrect commands.
e.g.:
nmcli connection down id <conn>
nmcli -t
...

(cherry picked from commit ef0d0d08eb)
Shift argc and argc manually between argument ant its value and use
next_arg() between arguments everywhere. Whill be useful to parse global
arguments.
moved from: char *colorize_string (..., gboolean &dealloc)
to: const char *colorize_string (..., char **out_to_free)
No more needed to cast (char *) on a (const char *).
Fixed also get_value_to_print() which relies on colorize_string()
When a full section is specified as the field parameter in terse tabular
mode, the section name should be printed followed by all the field values
belonging to that section separated by ':'. The NAME of section CONNECTIONS
was missing.
sample command:
$ nmcli -m tab -t -f CONNECTIONS device show ens3
previous output was:
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/{1}:5059XXX-XXXX.. | ens3-dhcp
now:
CONNECTIONS:/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/{1}:5059XXX-XXXX.. | ens3-dhcp
When only the main header should be printed and output mode
is 'pretty' skip the construction of the string containing
field values as it will not be used.
Don't print value output in the "PRETTY" format when the --terse option
has been specified.
This should allow to feed back the output from "nmcli show" to "nmcli
modify" without changes.
Track both device and active connections at the same time and decide
whether activation finished (either successfully or not) in a single
place, check_activated().
This makes the already too complex code path a bit more straightforward
and also makes it possible to be more reasonable about the diagnostics.
Now that the active connection signals the reason, we include it; but if
the failure is due to the device disconnection while we're activating,
include a device reason instead, since it's often more useful. Like:
Before:
Error: Connection activation failed.
Without considering the device:
Error: Connection activation failed: the base network connection was interrupted
After:
Error: Connection activation failed: The Wi-Fi network could not be found
In practice, this should only matter when there are multiple
header files with the same name. That is something we try
to avoid already, by giving headers a distinct name.
When building NetworkManager itself, we clearly want to use
double-quotes for including our own headers.
But we also want to do that in our public headers. For example:
./a.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <nm-1.h>
void main() {
printf ("INCLUDED %s/nm-2.h\n", SYMB);
}
./1/nm-1.h
#include <nm-2.h>
./1/nm-2.h
#define SYMB "1"
./2/nm-2.h
#define SYMB "2"
$ cc -I./2 -I./1 ./a.c
$ ./a.out
INCLUDED 2/nm-2.h
Exceptions to this are
- headers in "shared/nm-utils" that include <NetworkManager.h>. These
headers are copied into projects and hence used like headers owned by
those projects.

This is sort of ugly, because it includes the domain and log levels
verbatim. They're just plain strings on the API, there's no way the
client would know which ones are valid.
On the other hand this kills one of two uses of nmc_parse_args(), which
probably means it's not a very good abstraction and maybe we should get
rid of it altogether. It is in particular unfriendly to argument
completion.
We can't pass the password obtained from
nm_setting_802_1x_get_*private_key_password() to
nm_setting_802_1x_set_*private_key() as the latter also frees the old
password.

If the connection spontaneously disappears (perhaps along with the whole
daemon on crash) while we're deleting it, then the removal callback
would free up the context structure the delete operation is using.
Let's cancel the in-flight delete operations so that they won't touch
the structure after it's gone.
* all getter/setter/describe, ... functions grouped according to properties
* sort the settings groups alphabetically
