Since people apparently hate any extra typing, and tools just can't
find it in them to deal with human readable file names, escape some
of the more annoying characters in shell-land.

That was always the goal, but never got there. This time we need it
for real to abstract handling of dependent connections so bite the
bullet and make it happen.
The notifications for child objects (like NMClient's device-added
signal or NMDeviceWifi's access-point-added signal) could get emitted
before the child objects were actually constructed, because
object_created() decrements the properties-retrieved tracking
variable, which wasn't always incremented before calling that
function.
EAP-FAST used to require some patches to OpenSSL which aren't always
applied. We can't depend on the supplicant supporting EAP-FAST like
we can for EAP methods that don't require any special support from
external libraries. To ensure the error gets reported correctly and
early, fail the configuration step if EAP-FAST isn't supported by
the supplicant but the connection requests it.
Modems take a bit of time, and ModemManager may not quite be
ready for immediate connect after sending the PIN since the
modem isn't enabled. The specific issue was that MM is still
closing serial ports, so if we try to enable too soon we'll
get an error about serial ports being closed.
Need to initialize libnm-util to get GValue transforms registered
so the property values print out as strings. Then actually print
some debugging information about properties.
Some property updates (mainly those dealing with properties that
hold objects themsevles) weren't being done in a synchronous manner
when synchronicity was requested. Make sure that happens.
BSS info apparently doesn't get updated that often since it's
based on scan information, so instead use the AP info which updates
with every beacon. Using the BSS info caused the signal to
be the same value over long periods of time even when moving far
away from the AP.
Consolidate device creation in the manager object; bluetooth and
modem devices were already handled by it, so it makes sense to do
it all from one place. Furthermore we'll be creating virtual devices
in the manager too. It also reduces indirection (no need to send
device_creator() in the DEVICE_ADDED signal) and makes the code
flow clearer.
Implement GInitable and GAsyncInitable in NMObject, with
implementations that synchronously or asynchonously load all
properties, and change _nm_object_ensure_inited() to run
g_initable_init().
Update the object/object-array property handling to initialize the
objects after creating them (synchronously or asynchronously,
according to the situation), so that they will have all of their
properties preloaded before they are ever visible to the caller.
Move the non-blocking/non-failable parts of various objects'
constructor() methods to constructed(), and move the blocking/failable
parts to init(), and implement init_async() methods with non-blocking
versions of the blocking methods.
Make nm_device_new() and nm_client_new() call
_nm_object_ensure_inited(), to preserve the behaviour formerly
enforced by their construct() methods, that properties are guaranteed
to be initialized before any signals involving them are emitted.
Add generic handling for "properties" that consist of a "Get" method,
an "Added" signal, and a "Removed" signal, reusing some of the code
for handling object-array-valued properties. And load the values of
pseudo properties from _nm_object_reload/ensure_properties as well.
Add an "object_type" field to NMPropertiesInfo, and use that with
DBUS_TYPE_G_OBJECT_PATH and DBUS_TYPE_G_ARRAY_OF_OBJECT_PATH
properties so that we don't need custom marshallers for each one.
When creating an NMDevice or NMActiveConnection, we need to fetch an
extra property first to figure out the exact subclass to use, so add a
bit of infrastructure for that as well. Also, do that preprocessing
asynchronously when processing a property change notification, so that
it doesn't block the main loop.
Rather than having every property getter method have code to fetch
that specific property's value, just call the new
_nm_object_ensure_inited() (which makes sure that we've read all the
property values on the object at least once), and then return the
cached value. (After we've read the initial property values, the
PropertiesChanged signal handler will ensure that the values are kept
up to date, so we can always just return cached property values after
that point.)
This then lets us get rid of _nm_object_get_property() and its
wrappers.
Rename _nm_object_handle_properties_changed(), etc, to be about
properties in general, rather than just property changes.
Interpret func==NULL in NMPropertiesInfo as meaning "use
_nm_object_demarshal_generic", and then reorder the fields so that you
can just leave that field out in the declarations when it's NULL.
Add a way to register properties that exist in D-Bus but aren't
tracked by the NMObjects, and use that for NMDevice's D-Bus Ip4Address
property, replacing the existing hack.
Also add a few other missing properties noticed along the way.
- the first uses dbus-glib and D-Bus "NameOwnerChanged" signal directly
- the second uses GIO's g_bus_watch_name()
- the third uses Qt and QDBusServiceWatcher class
Most of the code was using dbus_g_proxy_call() directly, but there
were some leftover uses of the generated bindings. Make things more
consistent by using dbus_g_proxy_call() everywhere, and stop building
the -bindings.h files.
All of the information in the configuration files for local caching
dnsmasq or BIND servers are accessible already over the D-Bus
interface, so there's no sensitive information here.
Allows clients to retrieve the reason a device changed to
the given state along with the state itself, preventing
race conditions if the state were retrieved separately
from the reason. Reason codes were not previously
accessible without listening to the StateChanged signal.
