The only user of platform who accesses this field is NMDevice,
when calling nm_platform_link_get_ipv6_token(). It cares more
about whether the token is all-zero or set to something.
Another use of inet6_token.is_valid was so that when we receive a
netlink message without IFLA_INET6_TOKEN attribute, that we don't
treat the value as zero, although it is just unknown. Fix that
instead in a better way by setting the value from the cache, if
IFLA_AF_SPEC doesn't provide it.
Also, when printing the token in nm_platform_link_to_string()
treat it as an IPv6 address (inet_ntop).
..., nm_platform_ip6_route_cmp(), nm_platform_ip4_address_cmp() and
nm_platform_ip6_address_cmp().
Compare those fields first, for which we expect that their properties
differ. E.g. usually, each route destination in a set is unique, thus by
comparing those fields first we shortcut some comparisons.
We handle cloned routes (that have rtm_flags RTM_F_CLONED) differently.
We used to mark such routes by hacking NMIPConfigSource to have a special
value. No longer do this, because it mixes different concepts.
Note that the rt_cloned filed fits into a hole in the aligment
of NMPlatformIPRoute. Thus there is almost no overhead to this
change.
The "source" field of NMPlatformIPRoute (now "rt_source") maps to the
protocol field of the route. The source of NMPlatformIPAddress (now
"addr_source") has no direct equivalent in the kernel.
As their use is different, they should have different names. Also,
the name "source" is used all over the place. Hence give the fields
a more distinct name.
This way, we get a defined order at startup.
Also, get rid of the logging statements. It was used for
debugging, but a "getter" really should not log the stuff it
is returning.
We used to pad the lifetime since the beginning (commit
f121995fad).
However, there is not race involved, since our platform cache
is in sync with the messages from kernel (which didn't used to
be the case).
Also, when receiving a RA with a zero preferred time, we must
not extend the address lifetime by 5 seconds, but instead deprecate
the address immediately.

str_if_set() was added to replace the non-standard gcc extension "?:".
However, "?:" is supported by clang as well and we already use it at
several places.
Also, str_if_set() did not follow our naming scheme and renaming to
nm_str_if_set() would be ugly. So just drop it.
Add a new NMPNetns class. This allows creation, deletion and
switching of network namespaces. The API only offers push/pop
operations to switch the namespace. This way the API enforces
the user to always restore the previous namespace.
A NMPlatform instance not only uses the netlink socket, but also
sysfs, udev, ethtool, mii. Still, a NMPlatform instance lives
entirely inside one namespace and is not spanning multiple namespaces.
To properly support network namespaces, the platform instance must
switch the namespace as necessary, transparent to the caller.
Udev is only supported in the main namespace.
For now, network namespaces are not actually used and are disabled
via the NM_PLATFORM_NETNS_SUPPORT argument.

Most functions defined in "nm-platform-utils.h" perform a lookup
of link properties, for example via ethtool or sysfs. Those functions
depend on the system configuration, such as the current network namespace.
Move the simple helper functions away to "nm-core-internal.h", so that
all remaining functions from "nm-platform-utils.h" are really related to
somthing that interacts with the system/kernel.
It's useful to track the flags for IPv4 addresses too.
- we might want to sort IPv4 addresses according to whether they
are permanent or dynamic.
- later we want to set IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE also for IPv4 addresses.
While the ability to "set" a flag doesn't necessarily require that we
also keep the flags present in NMPlatformIP4Address, it is more consistent.
"NetworkManagerUtils.h" contains a bunch of helper tools for core
daemon ("src/").
Unfortunately, it has dependencies to other parts of core,
such as "nm-device.h" and "nm-platform.h". Split out a part
of tools that are independent so that they can be used without
dragging in other dependencies.
"nm-core-utils.h" should only use libnm-core, "nm-logging.h"
and shared.
"NetworkManagerUtils.h" should provide all "nm-core-utils.h" and
possibly other utilities that have larger dependencies.
There are far too many "flags". Rename the "flags" to "n_ifa_flags"
which reminds to "ifa_flags" in 'struct ifaddrmsg', but with a
distinctive "n_" prefix.
There are far too many "flags". Rename the "flags" to "n_ifi_flags"

- All internal source files (except "examples", which are not internal)
should include "config.h" first. As also all internal source
files should include "nm-default.h", let "config.h" be included
by "nm-default.h" and include "nm-default.h" as first in every
source file.
We already wanted to include "nm-default.h" before other headers
because it might contains some fixes (like "nm-glib.h" compatibility)
that is required first.
- After including "nm-default.h", we optinally allow for including the
corresponding header file for the source file at hand. The idea
is to ensure that each header file is self contained.
- Don't include "config.h" or "nm-default.h" in any header file
(except "nm-sd-adapt.h"). Public headers anyway must not include
these headers, and internal headers are never included after
"nm-default.h", as of the first previous point.
- Include all internal headers with quotes instead of angle brackets.
In practice it doesn't matter, because in our public headers we must
include other headers with angle brackets. As we use our public
headers also to compile our interal source files, effectively the
result must be the same. Still do it for consistency.
- Except for <config.h> itself. Include it with angle brackets as suggested by
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Configuration-Headers
Reuse the to-string function nm_platform_link_inet6_addrgenmode2str() to print the
addrgenmode for nm_platform_link_to_string().
Also, now we support NM_IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_STABLE_PRIVACY.
With g_return() we try to catch wrong invocations of a function
or passing invalid arguments.
Having ~forgot~ to overwrite a virtual function is such a serious
and fundamental issue, that checking for it at runtime is wasteful
and unnessesary.
If we ever hit such a situation, just crash.
