Move the definition of NMSettingsError to nm-errors, register it with
D-Bus, and verify in the tests that it maps correctly.
Remove a few unused error codes, simplify a few others, and rename
GENERAL to FAILED and HOSTNAME_INVALID to INVALID_HOSTNAME, for
consistency.
Make the :addresses and :routes properties be GPtrArrays of
NMIP4Address, etc, rather than just reflecting the D-Bus data.
Make the :dns properties be arrays of strings rather than arrays of
binary IP addresses (and update the corresponding APIs as well).
Make all mac-address properties (including NMSettingBluetooth:bdaddr,
NMSettingOlpcMesh:dhcp-anycast-addr, and NMSettingWireless:bssid) be
strings, using _nm_setting_class_transform_property() to handle
translating to/from binary form when dealing with D-Bus.
Update everything accordingly for the change, and also add a test for
transformed setting properties to test-general.
The virtual :interface-name properties (eg,
NMDeviceBond:interface-name) are deprecated in favor of
NMSettingConnection:interface-name, and nm_connection_verify() ensures
that their values are kept in sync. So (a) there is no need to set
those properties when we can just set
NMSettingConnection:interface-name instead, and (b) we can replace any
calls to the setting-specific get_interface_name() methods with
nm_connection_get_interface_name() or
nm_setting_connection_get_interface_name().
Instead of handling iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) in the ifcfg-rh plugin,
create a new plugin for it. This allows all distributions to use iBFT
configuration, and makes both iBFT handling and ifcfg-rh less complicated.
The plugin (like the old ifcfg-rh code) creates read-only connections backed
by the data exported by iscsiadm. The plugin does not support adding new
connections or modifying existing connections (since the iBFT data is
read-only anyway). Instead, users should change their iBFT data through
the normal firmware interfaces.
Unmanaged devices can be configured through NetworkManager.conf and the
normal 'keyfile' mechanisms.
(In the future, we'll read this data directly from the kernel's
/sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX directory instead of iscsiadm, since the
kernel has all the information we need and that's where iscsiadm gets
it from anyway.)
