Introduce a new "prefix-delegation" setting. It contains properties
related to the configuration of downstream interfaces using IPv6
prefix-delegation. The only property at the moment is "subnet-id",
which specifies which prefix to choose when the delegation contains
multiple /64 networks.
This patch add support to IPVLAN interface. IPVLAN is a driver for a
virtual network device that can be used in container environment to
access the host network. IPVLAN exposes a single MAC address to the
external network regardless the number of IPVLAN device created inside
the host network. This means that a user can have multiple IPVLAN
devices in multiple containers and the corresponding switch reads a
single MAC address. IPVLAN driver is useful when the local switch
imposes constraints on the total number of MAC addresses that it can
manage.
This patch add support to HSR/PRP interface. Please notice that PRP
driver is represented as HSR too. They are different drivers but on
kernel they are integrated together.
HSR/PRP is a network protocol standard for Ethernet that provides
seamless failover against failure of any network component. It intends
to be transparent to the application. These protocols are useful for
applications that request high availability and short switchover time
e.g electrical substation or high power inverters.

Add overrides for properties constants of new objects to allow to match them with their
object type as it was the case for former objects.
Specify the types of properties with element-types.
Namespace Attributes so that they are logically sorted.
Remove several skips to allow to use the entirety of the visible methods.
G-IR currently lacks an annotation for associating async calls to their
_finish counterparts. As a result, vala's binding generator assumes that
corresponding function is just function name - _async + _finish. This
holds true for 99% of the time, but not here, because
nm_device_wifi_request_scan_options_async uses
nm_device_wifi_request_scan_finish instead of expected
nm_device_wifi_request_scan_options_finish (sharing it with
nm_device_wifi_request_scan_async). As such, a metadata entry is
required to point vala to correct finishing function.
