Assumed slave connections need to be added to their master devices,
which didn't used to happen because the devices activating assumed
connections jumped directly to stage3, bypassing all the master/slave
handling stuff.
Instead, make all assumed connections go through all activation stages,
but make sure that things which touch the device don't get done for
assumed connections. This requires moving the master/slave code out
of the override-able class methods because we need to call the
master/slave code for assumed connections, but we don't want to call
the override-able class activation methods.
Previously, ignore-carrier devices were always in the unavailable state
until they were activated. This required some complicated code to keep
track of whether the device was available or not based on what connections
existed, whether those connections were static-IP, and whether the device
was ignore-carrier. Various bits of the code used nm_device_can_activate()
for two different purposes: (1) to determine if the device was available
on an L2 basis, which nm_device_can_activate() wasn't well-suited to, and
(2) whether a specific connection could be activated at a given time
based on ignore-carrier and whether the connection was static IP or not.
Remove that complexity and confusion by making ignore-carrier devices
always move to DISCONNECTED state, and simply refuse to activate
connections that require connectivity, but allow connections that don't
require connectivity. Also, when the device has no carrier, don't
add connections that require connectivity to the AvailableConnections
device property.
Use the new kernel physical_port_id interface property to recognize
when two devices are just virtual devices sharing the same physical
port, and refuse to bond/team multiple slaves on the same port.
If nm_device_enslave_slave() failed, the slave would log that it was
waiting for the master to activate (even if the master was already
active). Fix it to log an error and fail its activation instead.
Add a flag to indicate that the device is owned by NM.
This is interesting for software/virtual devices, that were created by
NM and should be deleted when the interface gets deactivated.
This flag is not implemented as a glib property.
Maybe this flag can be consolidated with the managed flag. For now it is
unclear how to do it, so add this flag. It should be easy later to
replace it again.

This backwards compatible patch adds the possibility to use new
nm_device_generate_connection() API via update_connection() virtual
method implementations in NMDevice subclasses.
Compatibility is achieved by first trying to use the older API and
match_l2_config() virtual method and only then moving on to
update_connection().
The nm_device_generate_connection() calls update_connection() to create
type-specific NMSetting instances and verifies the connection before
returning it. To avoid tinkering with NMSettingConnection in
update_connection() we use a class attribute called connection_type
which is used by nm_device_generate_connection() itself.
Known issues:
* nm_device_generate_connection() method doesn't implement DHCP lease
configuration matching. We shouldn't actually need it but if a use case
for that will come out, we can fix it later.
* nm_device_generate_connection() doesn't fill in the slave-specific
options.
* update_connection() is not implemented and connection_type is not set
in the subclasses. This will be fixed in individual patches.
* NMSetting's compare_property() implementations in combination with
NM_SETTING_COMPARE_FLAG_CANDIDATE are not yet fully ready thus rendering
false negatives in some cases. Same as above.

Add a property on NMManager indicating that it is currently starting
up and activating startup-time/boot-time network connections.
"startup" is initially TRUE, and becomes FALSE once all NMDevices
report that they have no pending activity (eg, trying to activate,
waiting for a wifi scan to complete, etc). This is tracked via a new
NMDevice:has-pending-activity property, which is maintained partially
by the device itself, and partially by other parts of the code.
When a VPN wanted to add some routes (like the host route for the
VPN gateway) it would add them itself and listen for parent device
events and re-add them if necessary. That's pretty fragile, plus
the platform blows away routes that aren't part of the IP config
that's getting applied.
So we might as well just have the VPN connection tell the parent
what the routes are, and have the parent device handle updating
the routing. The routes are through the parent device anyway,
and so are "owned" by the parent too.
Bluetooth device hardware addresses won't change during the lifetime
of the object (since that would mean a completely new device) and
they also won't have an ifindex because they aren't netdevices.
Various bits of the core periodically call nm_device_update_hw_address()
to update a device's hardware address, but this function expects that
any device with a hardware address also has an ifindex. Except that
Bluetooth devices don't because they aren't netdevices.
Modify the get_hw_address_length() function to return a boolean
indicating whether or not the address can ever change, and set that
for BT devices. nm_device_update_hw_address() then exits early if
there's no point in re-checking the hardware address, avoiding the
assertion.

The previous ignore-carrier rules did not work well with dynamic IP
(dhcp/slaac) connections. Change the rule so that only static IP
connections can be activated when carrier is not present (but both
static and dynamic connections will remain up when carrier is lost).
These turn out to be pretty useless, since their functions are already
covered by each device's state-changed handler or can be done in other
places like deactivate().

Rather than passing UDI, ifname, and driver name to the device
constructors as separate arguments, just pass the NMPlatformLink
instead and let it parse them out.
Virtual types still take UDI and ifname separately, since we create
fake NMDevices for them for autoactivating connections. That's weird
in other ways too though, so perhaps this should be revisted.
Add hidden command line option --run-from-build-dir; with that, helpers
like nm-avahi-autoipd.action and nm-dhcp-helper will be called from the
build tree instead of libexecdir, which allows testing without having to
install first.
Helper paths are now stored in global variables instead of macros, and
get modified with that new option.

This is really, really old 2007-era code. Any NMDevice that gets
created is already supported, so there's no reason to have every
device set NM_DEVICE_CAP_NM_SUPPORTED. For those subclasses that
only set that capability, we can remove the subclass method
entirely. Next, it turns out that the "type capabilities" code
wasn't used anywhere, so remove that too. Lastly, "cipsec"
interfaces haven't been used on linux in about 5 years (they
were created by the Cisco binary-only IPSec kernel module for
Cisco VPNs long before vpnc and openswan came around) so we can
remove that code too.
