This is the "juice" of the patch series. Initial cut at carrier handling
(by polling /sys/class/atm/$iface/carrier) and also support for calling
pppd with the proper command-line to achieve a connection.
Also implement the necessary boilerplate for the NM state machine to
be happy with our device.
This is a "duct tape and gum" implementation, i.e., prefer copy&paste
over proper refactoring, due to limited time, but the foundations are
now there, so we can make it work right slowly-slowly :)
With this patch, you can already test carrier management but not yet
make a complete connection.
Relevant extract from logs:
<info> (ueagle-atm0): carrier now ON (device state 20)
<info> (ueagle-atm0): device state change: unavailable -> disconnected (reason 'carrier-changed') [20 30 40]

"InfiniBand" has a capital "B". Fix that everywhere it's being used as
a human-readable string.
In particular, the RH initscripts recognize "TYPE=infiniband" and
"TYPE=InfiniBand", but not "TYPE=Infiniband", which is what we were
writing before.
Many different interface types can support VLANs, including
Infiniband, WiFi, etc. So we have to create a new device class
for them instead of keeping the support in NMDeviceEthernet.
Due to an error in the loop logic, if there were no connections yet (like
a fresh install or a livecd or whatever) no default name would be returned
and thus ethernet devices wouldn't come up automatically. Fix that loop
error and add testcases for it.
Where 'x' is a number that's not yet used by any existing connection.
And clean up the default wired class initialization. This name is
more friendly than "Auto eth0" which was confusing to quite a few
people. This also checks to ensure there's no other connection with
the same name, which the old method did not.
