Trigger a dispatcher event when a connection is reapplied on a NM device.
Some devices such as phones have already a DHCP client running for accepting
connections when they are plugged into USB to transfer data over SSH.
When NetworkManager switches the connection IP method to shared,
it spawns a dnsmasq process to handle DHCP and DNS for that connection.
However, a dispatcher event is needed to disable the external DHCP server
for these USB connections as NetworkManager's dnsmasq handles them now.
Moreover, when the connection method is switched to a different mode,
the external DHCP server needs to be spawned again to make sure that
SSH connections are still possible to the device.
To achieve this, add a new NetworkManager Dispatcher event
'reapply' which is triggered when a connection is reapplied on a NM
device. This way, a dispatcher script can handle the case above by
inspecting the IP method in the dispatcher script.

These are just general purpose D-Bus utils, based on glib and GDBus.
They fit perfectly to libnm-glib-aux. Move the code.
Also, there is already the file "src/core/nm-dbus-utils.c", having two
files with the same name on our source tree is just confusing.
The DNS name can now also contain the DoT server name. It's not longer a
binary IP address only.
Extend NML3ConfigData to account for that. To track the additional
data, use the string representation. The alternative to have a separate
type that contains the parsed information would be cumbersome too.
Yes, we anyway log the timestamps for every log message. So one could
always calculate the offset. However, when you read a logfile, it can be
cumbersome to stop looking at where you currently are to find the
start/end of a call. For convenience, log the duration explicitly.

We use clang-format for automatic formatting of our source files.
Since clang-format is actively maintained software, the actual
formatting depends on the used version of clang-format. That is
unfortunate and painful, but really unavoidable unless clang-format
would be strictly bug-compatible.
So the version that we must use is from the current Fedora release, which
is also tested by our gitlab-ci. Previously, we were using Fedora 34 with
clang-tools-extra-12.0.1-1.fc34.x86_64.
As Fedora 35 comes along, we need to update our formatting as Fedora 35
comes with version "13.0.0~rc1-1.fc35".
An alternative would be to freeze on version 12, but that has different
problems (like, it's cumbersome to rebuild clang 12 on Fedora 35 and it
would be cumbersome for our developers which are on Fedora 35 to use a
clang that they cannot easily install).
The (differently painful) solution is to reformat from time to time, as we
switch to a new Fedora (and thus clang) version.
Usually we would expect that such a reformatting brings minor changes.
But this time, the changes are huge. That is mentioned in the release
notes [1] as
Makes PointerAligment: Right working with AlignConsecutiveDeclarations. (Fixes https://llvm.org/PR27353)

Completely rework IP configuration in the daemon. Use NML3Cfg as layer 3
manager for the IP configuration of an interface. Use NML3ConfigData as
pieces of configuration that the various components collect and
configure. NMDevice is managing most of the IP configuration at a higher
level, that is, it starts DHCP and other IP methods. Rework the state
handling there.
This is a huge rework of how NetworkManager daemon handles IP
configuration. Some fallout is to be expected.
It appears the patch deletes many lines of code. That is not accurate, because
you also have to count the files `src/core/nm-l3*`, which were unused previously.

add a NM_DISPATCHER_ACTION_DHCP_CHANGE_X() macro that can select the
right action based on a parameter.
Also rename the IPv4/IPv6 enum values, so that their naming scheme works
better with the NM_DISPATCHER_ACTION_DHCP_CHANGE_X() macro.
Review and replace usages of the two nm_connection_to_dbus() flags
marked deprecated in commit 84648e562c98 ('libnm: Refactor
NM_CONNECTION_SERIALIZE_* flags'):
NM_CONNECTION_SERIALIZE_NO_SECRETS and
NM_CONNECTION_SERIALIZE_ONLY_SECRETS.
"libnm-core/" is rather complicated. It provides a static library that
is linked into libnm.so and NetworkManager. It also contains public
headers (like "nm-setting.h") which are part of public libnm API.
Then we have helper libraries ("libnm-core/nm-libnm-core-*/") which
only rely on public API of libnm-core, but are themself static
libraries that can be used by anybody who uses libnm-core. And
"libnm-core/nm-libnm-core-intern" is used by libnm-core itself.
Move "libnm-core/" to "src/". But also split it in different
directories so that they have a clearer purpose.
The goal is to have a flat directory hierarchy. The "src/libnm-core*/"
directories correspond to the different modules (static libraries and set
of headers that we have). We have different kinds of such modules because
of how we combine various code together. The directory layout now reflects
this.
Currently "src/" mostly contains the source code of the daemon.
I say mostly, because that is not true, there are also the device,
settings, wwan, ppp plugins, the initrd generator, the pppd and dhcp
helper, and probably more.
Also we have source code under libnm-core/, libnm/, clients/, and
shared/ directories. That is all confusing.
We should have one "src" directory, that contains subdirectories. Those
subdirectories should contain individual parts (libraries or
applications), that possibly have dependencies on other subdirectories.
There should be a flat hierarchy of directories under src/, which
contains individual modules.
As the name "src/" is already taken, that prevents any sensible
restructuring of the code.
As a first step, move "src/" to "src/core/". This gives space to
reorganize the code better by moving individual components into "src/".
For inspiration, look at systemd's "src/" directory.
