This makes it possible to utilize agents in the "external UI" mode
instead of hardcoded handling of VPN secrets requests.
Ideally this would be turned into a library so that nm-applet can share
the code, but figuring out the right API might be a non-trivial
undertaking.
Equals sign was picked as a continuation character arbitratily.

On RHEL, openvswitch package is not in the base set of packages. Hence,
we cannot depend NetworkManager-ovs package on openvswitch.
This isn't really a problem, because NetworkManager's OVS plugin must
anyway behave graceful when openvswich service is not running or not
available. It only means, that a user who wants to use the OVS plugin
needs to explicitly install the openvswitch package.

The main purpose of "checkpatch-feature-branch.sh" is to test all
patches of a feature branch. When we run the script against master
(or nm-1-*), then there is no feature branch.
Previously, the script would just error out.
That is not very useful, in particular as we call this from gitlab-ci,
which also runs on master.
Instead, in that case, test the HEAD.
This takes current HEAD branch, and finds all the commits what
are not on master or one of the nm-1-* branches, and runs
checkpatch.pl on each.
The use is to run checkpatch.pl on all patches of a feature
branch.
When a software device is removed by nmcli in parallel with a
disconnection, e.g.:
nmcli connection add type team ifname t1 con-name t1
sleep 1
nmcli connection down t1 & nmcli device delete t1
nmcli sometimes crashes in the following way:
...
Connection 't1' (e4701688-d1a9-4942-85f0-a2081e120023) successfully added.
Connection 't1' successfully deactivated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/36)
Device 't1' successfully removed.

The reason is that after calling nm_device_delete_async() we also
listen for the manager device-removed signal. When the signal is
received, device_removed_cb() destroy the @info structure and calls
g_main_loop_quit (loop). However, if the delete_device_cb() callback
has already been dispatched it is executed anyway and it tries to
access a stale @info.
It makes little sense to listen for the device-removed signal since
the return value of nm_device_delete_async() already tells us whether
the device was removed successfully or not.
The only advantage would be that when the device goes away for other
reasons we can still return success, but that is racy and should not
be relied upon.

initrd does not use keyfile API from "src/settings/plugins/keyfile",
hence it does not use nms_keyfile_utils_escape_filename() to add
the ".nmconnection" file extension.
I think that is problematic, because it also misses escapings which
are necessary so that NetworkManager will accept the file.
Anyway, the proper solution here would be to move the keyfile utility
functions to libnm-core, alongside base keyfile API. That way, it
could be used by initrd generator.
For now, just dirty fix the generated filename.

Refactor the check so that integer overflow cannot happen. Realistically,
it anyway couldn't happen, because _name is nowhere near the size of
G_MAXSIZE. Still, avoid such code. Also, the operands involved here are
constants, so the extra check can anyway be resolved at compile-time.
For profiles in "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections", we did not enforce
that the keyfiles have a special suffix, nor did we generate the
filenames in such a manner. In hindsight, I think that was a mistake.
Recently we added "/run/NetworkManager/system-connections" as additional
keyfile directory. Enforce a suffix and write keyfiles with such a name.
In principle, we could also start writing keyfiles in /etc with the
same suffix. But let's not do that, because we anyway cannot enforce
it.
An ugly part is, that during `nmcli connection load` we need to
determine whether the to-be-loaded connection is under /etc or /run.
Preferably, we would allow any kind of symlinking as what matters
is the file object (inode) and not the path. Anyway, we don't do
that but compare plain paths. That means, paths which are not
in an expected form, will be rejected. In particular, the paths
starting with "/run/..." and "/var/run/..." will be treated differently,
and one of them will be rejected.
Note that ifcfg-rh plugin strictly enforces that the path
starts with IFCFG_DIR as well. So, while this is a breaking
change for keyfile, I think it's reasonable.
"shared/nm-utils" is a loose collection of utility functions.
There is a certain aim that they can be used independently.
However, they also rely on each other.
Add a test that we can build a minimal shared library with
these tools, independent of libnm-core.
This is independent functionality that only depends on linux API
and glib.
Note how "nm-logging" uses this for getting the timestamps. This
makes "nm-logging.c" itself dependen on "src/nm-core-utils.c",
for little reason.
Already since 1.0.0 release and commit "3784678177 cli: create a connection
if none exist in 'nmcli dev connect' (rh #1113941)", device-connect can
also create a profile.
That is useful, in particular as opposed to
$ nmcli connection up ifname "$DEVICE"
which wouldn't create a profile (ever).
Document it.
The meta data type descriptor must set .get_gtype only for
GObject properties which are of type int or uint. That is, when
the enum type cannot be automatically detected.
However, NM_SETTING_SERIAL_PARITY is a g_param_spec_enum()
of type NM_TYPE_SETTING_SERIAL_PARITY, so setting the get_gtype()
hook is wrong and leads to a crash
$ /bin/nmcli connection add type gsm autoconnect no con-name t ifname '*' apn xyz serial.parity 5

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
That is because the enum property setter does:
»···if ( has_gtype
»··· && NM_IN_SET (gtype_prop,
»··· G_TYPE_INT,
»··· G_TYPE_UINT)
»··· && G_TYPE_IS_CLASSED (gtype)
»··· && (gtype_class = g_type_class_ref (gtype))
»··· && ( (is_flags = G_IS_FLAGS_CLASS (gtype_class))
»··· || G_IS_ENUM_CLASS (gtype_class))) {
»···»···/* valid */
meaning, it only allows "has_gtype" if the native "gtype_prop" is
G_TYPE_INT or G_TYPE_UINT.

libnm currently has only one GObject property of type uint64:
"serial.send-delay". However, it's broken because uint64 handling
is not implemented.

When a device is unmanaged, an explicit activation request can
still activate it. In particular, that is the case for
$ nmcli connection up "$PROFILE" ifname "$DEVICE"
It is also the case, for plain
$ nmcli connection up "$PROFILE"
where NetworkManager searches for a suitable device -- depending on
multi-connect setting of the profile.
The idea is, that a profile with "multi-connect=single" is expected
to sufficently and uniquely match a device, based on matching properties
like "connection.interface-name". In that case, an explicit activation
request from the user shows the intent to manage the device.
Note that it's hard to understand whether the profile really uniquely
selects a particular device. For example, if the profile doesn't specify
"connection.interface-name", it might still uniquely identify
an ethernet device, if you only have one such device.
On the other hand, with "connection.multi-connect" other than "single",
it is very much expected that the profile does not strictly match
one device.
Change the behavior here for multi-connect profiles. This allows the
user to block individual devices from activation via
$ nmcli device set "$DEVICE" managed not
A subsequent
$ nmcli connection up "$MULTI_PROFILE"
will not consider "$DEVICE" as suitable candidate for activation.
Likewise, in the future we may want to add a
$ nmcli connection up --all "$MULTI_PROFILE"
command, to activate the profile on all suitable device.
In that case again, unmanaged devices probably also should be skipped
for multi-connect profiles.

This flag is more granular in whether to consider the connection
available or not. We probably should never check for the combined
flag NM_DEVICE_CHECK_CON_AVAILABLE_FOR_USER_REQUEST directly, but
always explicitly for the relevant parts.
Also, improve the error message, to indicate whether the device is
strictly unmanaged or whether it could be overruled.
The flags NMDeviceCheckConAvailableFlags and NMDeviceCheckDevAvailableFlags
both control whether a device appears available (either, available in
general, or related to a particular profile).
Also, both flag types strictly increase availability. Meaning: more flags,
more available.
There is some overlap between the flags, however they still have
their own distinct parts.
Improve the mapping from NMDeviceCheckConAvailableFlags to
NMDeviceCheckDevAvailableFlags, by picking exactly the flags
that are relevant.
