The "Ip4Address" property of "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device"
interface is deprecated since version 0.9.9.1 (2013). Also, the property
is not exposed by libnm and generally not useful.
Drop the code to maintain it. The property still exists but always
returns 0 (0.0.0.0).
Add a new read-only "InterfaceFlags" property to the Device interface
to export via D-Bus kernel flags and possibly other NM specific
flags. At the moment IFF_UP and IFF_LOWERUP are implemented.
Correct the spelling across the *entire* tree, including translations,
comments, etc. It's easier that way.
Even the places where it's not exposed to the user, such as tests, so
that we learn how is it spelled correctly.

Use nm_utils_str_utf8safe_escape() to sanitize non UTF-8 sequences
before exposing them on D-Bus. The operation can be reverted client
side via nm_utils_str_utf8safe_unescape() or simply g_strcompress().
Note that this preserves all valid UTF-8 sequences as-is, with exception
of the backslash escape character and ASCII control characters. Thus, this
is a change in behavior for strings that contain such characters.
Note that nmcli is not changed to somehow unescape the string before
printing. As the string is not valid UTF-8 (or contains ASCII characters
that need escaping), they are not printable as-is, so unescaping before
printing makes little sense.
This makes it easier to install the files with proper names.
Also, it makes the makefile rules slightly simpler.
Lastly, the documentation is now generated into docs/api, which makes it
possible to get rid of the awkward relative file names in docbook.
