The only reason to allow lazy matching was to update a fake
current AP when its real scan result comes in. Now that NM
tracks the current AP based on the the supplicant's current
BSS, a fake current AP will be replaced when the real scan
result arrives. So it's pointless to update the fake one
when it'll just be removed soon.
Instead of keeping track of it internally, and attempting to fuzzy-match
access points and stuff, just use the supplicant's information. If the
supplicant doesn't know what AP it's talking to, then we've got more
problems than just NM code.
The theory here is that when starting activation, we'll use the given
access point from the scan list that the supplicant already knows about.
If there isn't one yet (adhoc, hidden, or AP mode) then we'll create
a fake AP and add it to the scan list.
Once the supplicant has associated to the AP, it'll notify about the
current BSS which we then look up in the scan list, and set
priv->current AP to that. If for some reason the given AP isn't yet
in our scan list (which often happens for adhoc/AP) then we'll just
live with the fake AP until we get the scan result, which should happen
very soon.
We don't need to do any fuzzy-matching to find the current AP because
it will either always be one the supplicant knows about, or a fake one
that the supplicant doesn't know about that will be replaced soon anyway.
A few places in the NMSupplicantInterface API and in NMDeviceWifi's
use of it were still using "GHashTable *properties" where they should
have been using "GVariant *properties". (This didn't cause any actual
problems because nothing was looking at those arguments.)
(Also fix a comment typo.)
The connection now might be being activated on another device. Defer the
removal until we're sure the activation request will proceed and only add the
active connection afterwards.

The merge of lr/udev-unmanaged-fd731014 made all devices wait until
udev found them, but that makes these three device types fail activate
when created by NM itself.
Since their availability depended on IFF_UP, they could not be
activated (eg, 'nmcli con up team0') until they were IFF_UP. But
when they are created by NM, although NM knows the ifindex the
platform ignores the interface until udev finds it. Thus immediately
after creating the interface in _internal_activate_device() it
won't be known to the platform, so the nm_device_is_available()
check that controls whether the device moves to DISCONNECTED
will fail. This prevents any activation and emits the message:
"Connection 'foo' is not available on the device %s at this time."
because the device is still in the UNAVAILABLE state.
danw asked why we care about IFF_UP for these devices, and I can't
remember why, and I don't think it makes sense to require now.

teamd can recover interface state on its own, so if it died unexpectedly
we don't need to fail the device. Also, if for some reason a teamd is
already up and running when activating the interface, we can ask for
its configuration and if it has the same configuration we are about to
use, just talk to the existing copy instead of killing it.
Since f85513b (device: do not touch sysctls after the device was removed) the
device is not unconfigured/cleaned up when it's removed. When we're quitting
the device is not actually removed, we're just unmanaging it -- let's just
use a different reason so that the cleanup runs.
Fixes: f85513b8e4
Some device types (s390 OSA and ipvlan) can use the same link-layer address
for multiple virtual interfaces, and the kernel used the dev_id property
to differentiate these devices when constructing the IID. NM should do
this too to prevent IID clashes.

Configuration commit is an unsafe thing to do for assumed connections,
it can remove an externally added address we don't know about yet.
The device already has a link-local address; for an assumed connection
it's the reason we assumed the method=link-local in the first place.
Paths to sysctls don't use ifindex and device names can be reused. If someone
removes a device and quickly creates a device with the same name, chances are
we're cleaning up the device that was just added.
Sadly, it seems there's no better API than sysctl-- neither netlink nor procfs
symlinks with ifindex or anything like that.
It would subtract the configuration from device confguration that's not yet
applied. This a the race where the loose the address while activating a
connection that has both IPv6 and IPv4 configuration.

These functions will sometimes get called on updates to the device's IP
config due to external changes, or when addresses get flushed from the
device when activating it. If the device is a slave device, then at
this point its NMConnection won't have an IP settings. Suppress the
warning that gets printed when s_ip == NULL, because it's expected.
Just a refactoring, doesn't make any actual difference. It is consistent with
IPv4 and will make it easier to implement a policy to recover from incorrect
MTUs settings.
The statement
g_return_val_if_reached (NM_MODEM_IP_TYPE_UNKNOWN);
was wrong, because the return type is 'const char *'.
But just refactor nm_modem_ip_type_to_string() to get rid of
the static table and make it a switch statement.

No functional change, a cosmetic thing for now.
We want it set before any routes are added and ensure routes have a valid
ifindex before we pass it to the platform.
In a future NMRouteManager will need to look up the route for a device in
its cache thus we'll need to make sure routes passed to the it have an
appropriate ifindex set.

Create a NMRouteManager singleton.
Refactor, no functional changes apart from change of log domain from
LOGD_PLATFORM to LOGD_CORE.
Subsequent commit will keep track of the conflicting routes, avoid overwriting
older ones with newer ones and apply the new ones when the old ones go away.
When ipv4=auto and ipv6=auto, we'll first try with the IPv4v6 PDP type, and if
that fails (e.g. if either the modem or the operator doesn't support it), we'll
fallback to trying with IPv4 or IPv6 PDP types (only if may-fail configuration
allows it).

It's always user requested -- auto activation never happens on already active
devices. nm_device_release_one_slave() rightly asserts teardown with
(un)configuration does not happen for no reason at all.

It was confusing to understand the difference between calling nm_device_connection_is_available()
and check_connection_available(), they behaved similar, but not really
the same. Especially nm_device_connection_is_available() would look
first into @available_connetions, and might call check_connection_available()
itself. Whereas @available_connetions was also populated by testing
check_connection_available(). This interrelation makes it hard to
understand when nm_device_connection_is_available() returned true.
Rename nm_device_connection_is_available() to nm_device_check_connection_available()
and remove all direct calls of check_connection_available() in favor of
the wrapper nm_device_check_connection_available().
Now we only call nm_device_check_connection_available() with different
parameters (@flags and @specific_object). We also have the additional
guarantee that specifying more @flags will widen the result and making
a connection "more" available, while specifying a @specific_object will
restrict it.
This also changes behavior in several cases. For example before
nm_device_connection_is_available() for user-requests would always
declare matching connections available on Wi-Fi devices (only)
regardless of the device state. Now the device state gets consistently
considered.
For default-unmanaged devices it also changes behavior in complicated
ways, because before we would put connections into @available_connetions
for every device-state, but nm_device_connection_is_available() had a
special over-ride only for unmanaged-state.
This also fixes a bug, that user can activate an unavailable Wi-Fi
device:
nmcli radio wifi off
nmcli connection up wlan0
