Dan Winship 721e917cb6 wimax: drop WiMAX support (bgo #747846)
Even Fedora is no longer shipping the WiMAX SDK, so it's likely we'll
eventually accidentally break some of the code in src/devices/wimax/
(if we haven't already). Discussion on the list showed a consensus for
dropping support for WiMAX.

So, remove the SDK checks from configure.ac, remove the WiMAX device
plugin and associated manager support, and deprecate all the APIs.

For compatibility reasons, it is still possible to create and save
WiMAX connections, to toggle the software WiMAX rfkill state, and to
change the "WIMAX" log level, although none of these have any effect,
since no NMDeviceWimax will ever be created.

nmcli was only compiling in support for most WiMAX operations when NM
as a whole was built with WiMAX support, so that code has been removed
now as well. (It is still possible to use nmcli to create and edit
WiMAX connections, but those connections will never be activatable.)

<title>Network Configuration Setting Specification</title>
<para>
This part documents the properties and value types of each "Setting"
object that composes the basic unit of NetworkManager configuration,
the "Connection". Each Connection object is simply a dictionary mapping
setting names (like "802-3-ethernet" or "bluetooth") to a dictionary of
key/value pairs that represents each itself.

<title>Secret flag types</title>
<para>
Each secret property in a setting has an associated "flags" property
that describes how to handle that secret. The "flags" property is a
bitfield that contains zero or more of the following values logically
OR-ed together.
</para>
<para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<literal>0x0 (none)</literal> - the system is responsible for providing
and storing this secret.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<literal>0x1 (agent-owned)</literal> - a user-session secret agent
is responsible for providing and storing this secret; when it is
required, agents will be asked to provide it.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<literal>0x2 (not-saved)</literal> - this secret should not be saved
but should be requested from the user each time it is required. This
flag should be used for One-Time-Pad secrets, PIN codes from
hardware tokens, or if the user simply does not want to save the
secret.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<literal>0x4 (not-required)</literal> - in some situations it cannot
be automatically determined that a secret is required or not. This
flag hints that the secret is not required and should not be
requested from the user.
