allow to specify the DUID to be used int the DHCPv6 client identifier
option: the dhcp-duid property accepts either a hex string or the
special values "lease", "llt", "ll", "stable-llt", "stable-ll" and
"stable-uuid".
"lease": give priority to the DUID available in the lease file if any,
otherwise fallback to a global default dependant on the dhcp
client used. This is the default and reflects how the DUID
was managed previously.
"ll": enforce generation and use of LL type DUID based on the current
hardware address.
"llt": enforce generation and use of LLT type DUID based on the current
hardware address and a stable time field.
"stable-ll": enforce generation and use of LL type DUID based on a
link layer address derived from the stable id.
"stable-llt": enforce generation and use of LLT type DUID based on
a link layer address and a timestamp both derived from the
stable id.
"stable-uuid": enforce generation and use of a UUID type DUID based on a
uuid generated from the stable id.
The files in shared/nm-utils are not compiled as one static library,
instead each subproject that needs (parts of) them, re-compiles the
files individually.
The major reason for that is, because we might have different compile
flags, depending on whether we build libnm-core or
libnm-util/libnm-glib. Actually, I think that is not really the case,
and maybe this should be refactored, to indeed build them all as a
static library first.
Anyway, libnm-util, libnm-glib, clients' common lib, they all need a
different set of shared files that they should compile. Refactor
"shared/meson.build" to account for that and handle it like autotools
does.
Another change is, that "shared_c_siphash_dep" no longer advertises
"include_directories: include_directories('c-siphash/src')". We don't
put c-siphash.h into the include search path. Users who need it, should
include it via "#include <c-siphash/src/c-siphash.h>". The only exception
is when building shared_n_acd library, which is not under our control.
Add new stable-id specifier "${DEVICE}" to explicitly declare that the
connection's identity differs per-device.
Note that for settings like "ipv6.addr-gen-mode=stable" we already hash
the interface's name. So, in combination with addr-gen-mode, using this
specifier has no real use. But for example, we don't do that for
"ipv4.dhcp-client-id=stable".
Point being, in various context we possibly already include a per-device
token into the generation algorithm. But that is not the case for all
contexts and uses.
Especially the DHCPv4 client identifier is supposed to differ between interfaces
(according to RFC). We don't do that by default with "ipv4.dhcp-client-id=stable",
but with "${DEVICE}" can can now be configured by the user.
Note that the fact that the client-id is the same accross interfaces, is not a
common problem, because profiles are usually restricted to one device via
connection.interface-name.
Otherwise, the generated client-id depends purely on the profile's
stable-id. It means, the same profile (that is, either the same UUID
or same stable-id) on different hosts will result in identical client-ids.
That is clearly not desired. Hash a per-host secret-key as well.
Note, that we don't hash the interface name. So, activating the
profile on different interfaces, will still yield the same client-id.
But also note, that commonly a profile is restricted to one device,
via "connection.interface-name".
Note that this is a change in behavior. However, "ipv4.dhcp-client-id=stable"
was only added recently and not yet released.

Before:

Error: invalid property 'ignore': 'ignore' is ambiguous (ignore-auto-routes x (null)).
After:

This basically replaces the (NMMetaTermColor, NMMetaTermFormat) combo
with NMMetaColor that describes the colored element semantically as
opposed to storing the raw attributes.
A (currently static) paletted is used to translate the semantic color
code to the actual ANSI controle sequence. This matches what
terminal-colors.d(5) schemes use, making it convenient to implement
customizable palettes.

Thanks to the marvelous effort of the GNU compiler developer we can now
spare a couple of bits that could be used for more important things,
like this commit message. Standards commitees yet have to catch up.
It is meant to be rather similar in nature to isblank() or
g_ascii_isspace().
Sadly, isblank() is locale dependent while g_ascii_isspace() also considers
vertical whitespace as a space. That's no good for configuration files that
are strucutured into lines, which happens to be a pretty common case.
Instead of setting multiple callbacks, just let the user set one
vtable with callbacks. Usually, GObject would implement this via
signals. While that makes sense for public objects, for example to
work better with GIR and allow intercepting the signal, this is
overkill for our internal type. And NMPolkitListener already did
not make use of signals, for good reason.
Instead of passing multiple callbacks, must pass one structure with
callback pointers.
Also, extend the signature of the callbacks to always contain a
@self argument and a @user_data.
Some cleanup of the includes. For example, immediately after
"nm-default.h" include the header file for the current source.
Also, move the use of the "#if WITH_POLKIT_AGENT" conditionals
closer together. E.g. don't use the #if in "nmcli.h".
Add a new a new field to enum type descriptors that specify a list of
nicks valid only for getter functions. It is useful when the get
function must return a string different from the enum nick and that
string can't be used to set a value.
Use the same form everywhere: "TRANSLATORS" instead of "Translators".
The manual also seems to prefer the upper-case form [1].
$ sed 's/\<Translators\>: /TRANSLATORS: /g' $(git grep -l Translators) -i

There are multiple tests with the same in different directories; add a
unique prefix to test names so that it is clear from the output which
one is running.
If an operation is cancelled through the GCancellable, then the idiom is
that the operation is always cancelled, even if it has finished
successfully. To ensure this is the case, add calls to
g_simple_async_result_set_check_cancellable everywhere.
Without this, e.g. gnome-control-center will crash when switching away
from the power panel quickly, as the NMClient creation finishes
asynchronously and g-c-c assume that G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED is returned to
ensure it doesn't access the now invalid user_data parameter.

Substrings matching the heading of valid values were allowed if not
ambiguous (e.g.: "et" for "eth"). Moreover, upper case variants were
accepted too.
Do a plain string comparison check against the valid values.
Improve also the error message: give a list of valid tx-hashes.
when input matched the heading of two allowed values the match was
reported as ambiguous without checking if there was a perfect match
following: fixed.
Example of a failing input:
const char **allowed = [ "ipv4, ipv6, ip" ];
const char *input = "ip";
"ip" was detected as ambiguous.
Similarly to what systemd-resolved does, introduce the concept of
"routing" domain, which is a domain in the search list that is used
only to decide the interface over which a query must be forwarded, but
is not used to complete unqualified host names. Routing domains are
those starting with a tilde ('~') before the actual domain name.
Domains without the initial tilde are used both for completing
unqualified names and for the routing decision.
The `settings-docs.c` file is generated by processing the
`nm-property-docs.xml` file. Although this works in autotools,
the `.c` extension makes meson not to handle it properly.
Given the fact that it only contains a number of defines it
makes sense to change its extension to `.h` an use it as a header.
This also makes meson to handle it properly and build it before
its used.

Some targets are missing dependencies on some generated sources in
the meson port. These makes the build to fail due to missing source
files on a highly parallelized build.
These dependencies have been resolved by taking advantage of meson's
internal dependencies which can be used to pass source files,
include directories, libraries and compiler flags.
One of such internal dependencies called `core_dep` was already in
use. However, in order to avoid any confusion with another new
internal dependency called `nm_core_dep`, which is used to include
directories and source files from the `libnm-core` directory, the
`core_dep` dependency has been renamed to `nm_dep`.
These changes have allowed minimizing the build details which are
inherited by using those dependencies. The parallelized build has
also been improved.
