nm_utils_enum_to_str() can print flags, that is, combinations of
powers of two integers.
It also supports nicks, for certain flags.
When we have a nick for value zero, then that requires special
handling. Otherwise, that zero nick will always show up in the
string representation, although, it should only be used if the
enum value is exactly zero.

1) The "enabled-on-global-iface" flag was odd. Instead, have only
and "enabled" flag and skip (by default) endpoints on interface
that have no default route. With the new flag "also-without-default-route",
this can be overruled. So previous "enabled-on-global-default" now is
the same as "enabled", and "enabled" from before behaves now like
"enabled,also-without-default-route".
2) What was also odd, as that the fallback default value for the flags
depends on "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled". There was not one fixed
fallback default, instead the used fallback value was either
"enabled-on-global-iface,subflow" or "disabled".
Usually that is not a problem (e.g. the default value for
"ipv6.ip6-privacy" also depends on use_tempaddr sysctl). In this case
it is a problem, because the mptcp-flags (for better or worse) encode
different things at the same time.
Consider that the mptcp-flags can also have their default configured in
"NetworkManager.conf", a user who wants to switch the address flags
could previously do:
[connection.mptcp]
connection.mptcp-flags=0x32 # enabled-on-global-iface,signal,subflow
but then the global toggle "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled" was no longer
honored. That means, MPTCP handling was always on, even if the sysctl was
disabled. Now, "enabled" means that it's only enabled if the sysctl
is enabled too. Now the user could write to "NetworkManager.conf"
[connection.mptcp]
connection.mptcp-flags=0x32 # enabled,signal,subflow
and MPTCP handling would still be disabled unless the sysctl
is enabled.
There is now also a new flag "also-without-sysctl", so if you want
to really enable MPTCP handling regardless of the sysctl, you can.
The point of that might be, that we still can configure endpoints,
even if kernel won't do anything with them. Then you could just flip
the sysctl, and it would start working (as NetworkManager configured
the endpoints already).

Various synchronous methods (D-Bus calls) in libnm's NMClient API were
deprecated. The problem is that NMClient contains a cache of D-Bus
objects, and it gets updated by asynchronous events (D-Bus signals).
Those events get only processed when iterating the GMainContext, but
they are ordered.
When we perform a pseudo blocking D-Bus call with
g_dbus_connection_call_sync(), then GDBus creates a temporary
GMainContext, sends the request and iterates the internal context
blocking for the response. That is, this reply is not synchrounized with
the events that update the NMClient cache.
That is a problem for methods like nm_remote_connection_delete(),
because you call blocking delete, but afterwards the object is still in
the NMClient cache. That's why most blocking methods are deprecated.
While such blocking calls are therefore problematic, they can still be
very convenient to call from a simple script, a test tool or the python
REPL. See "examples/python/gi/nm-wg-set" which calls
nm_remote_connection_get_secrets(), and it would be (unnecessarily)
cumbersome to do the correct thing or using async API.
In particular, nm_remote_connection_get_secrets() doesn't retrieve an object
that is in the NMClient cache in the first place. Sure, the result is
out of order with the cache, but it's not obviously related and in most
cases it wouldn't matter to the user. So undeprecate this function again.

Without it, the build artifacts were deleted before getting archived.
It means, the tarball and the docs were no longer archived and no
pages on gitlab no longer updated.

We used
COMPILER_FLAG(LIBSYSTEMD_NM_CFLAGS, "-Wno-gnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end")
to detect whether the flag is supported. However, that does not work with GCC since
version 4.4 due to https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#wnowarning.
Note that we already had NM_COMPILER_WARNING(), but that again does
something rather different.
The removed signal did not log the interface name.
That's because _LOG3D() takes the ifindex and looks into the platform
cache to find the interface name. However, if the link is already
removed, it won't find it.
Fix that by explicitly using the right name.
Before:
<debug> [1660070838.2976] platform: signal: link removed: 602: testX6 <DOWN;broadcast,multicast> mtu 1500
Now:
<debug> [1660070838.2976] platform: (testX6) signal: link removed: 602: testX6 <DOWN;broadcast,multicast> mtu 1500
- drop unused "keep_deleted" parameter. It just doesn't make sense.
Even less sense than for rules/routes, where this was taken from.
- fix nmp_global_tracker_sync_mptcp_addrs() to delete addresses
with conflicting flags. We did not correctly delete existing
addresses, that were to be reconfigured with different flags.

This affects parsing global connection defaults from
"NetworkManager.conf".
Let's use a zero base for strtoll(), which honors the prefixes
"0x" and "0" to use hex and octal numbers, respectively. Otherwise
it uses decimal (base 10).
This causes very little ambiguity, but it makes certain numbers
just work.
Also, we have flags properties, where it makes much more sense
to write them in hex, like `connection.mptcp-flags=0x52`.
When we configure MPTCP addresses, we usually do so per interface
(ifindex). That is, because each interface (via NMDevice and NML3Cfg)
decides how to configure MPTCP, and then we always add MTCP addresses
for this certain ifindex.
With that, we could have a purely interface-specific view and not a
global sync method. However, there are two problems:
The minor problem is that we don't cache the endpoints (because we don't
get notifications). We can only get a dump of all endpoints. It seems
odd to have a mptcp-addr-sync method that is per-ifindex, when it needs
to dump all addresses.
The much more important reason is that the number of endpoints that we
can configure in kernel is very limited. So we need to make a choice
which endpoints to configure, and for that we need to holistic view that
NMPGlobalTracker has.
Since the generic netlink API does (currently) not support notifications
about changes of the MPTCP addresses, we won't get notifications when
they change, and it seems wrong to put such things in the NMPlatform
cache.
We can just get the list of endpoints by polling, so add a function
nm_platform_mptcp_addrs_dump() for that.
Also, add nm_platform_mptcp_addr_update() which can add/remove/update
MPTCP addresses.
We already have two hash functions for MPTCP addresses:
nmp_object_id_hash*() which compares the identity of objects
and nm_platform_mptcp_addr_hash*(), which compares all fields.
There is also a need to hash only the address. Add it. Will be used
next.
The ID of an object does not entail all properties/attributes.
During sync, if we already have an object with the same ID configured,
it may still differ in other aspects.
Handle those cases, by deleting such routes/rules before adding the
desired object.
Since we don't get netlink notifications when the MPTCP endpoints
change, we don't cache them. And since we don't cache them,
there is less need to mark whether they were received from kernel
or created internally.
It's not very clear what the best identity is.
For example, in kernel you cannot add two MPTCP addresses that only differ by
ifindex. Thus (as far as kernel is concerned), the ifindex is not part of the
identity. Still, as we will have an interface centric view, this will be
useful for us.
On the other hand, to kernel is the "id" a second primary key, along
side "addr:port". However, to us it's not useful to consider that as
part of nmp_object_id_equal(), because usually kernel will pick an "id"
for us, and when we track objects that we are about to add, they don't
have an "id" yet.
So, adjust nmp_object_id_equal(). However -- somewhat unusual -- let it
deviate from kernel's understanding of what defines an MPTCP address.
