Add support for a new section [connection] in NetworkManager.conf.
If the connection leaves an option at "unknown"/"default", we can
support overwriting the value from global configuration.
We also support other sections that are named with "connection"
as a prefix, such as [connection2], [connection-wifi]. This is
to support multiple default values that can be applied depending
on the used device.
I think this has great potential. Only downside is that when
the user looks at a connection value, it will see that it is
unspecified. But the actually used value depends on the device
type and might not be obvious.

Add a function to get a concise representation of the
device type.
libnm already has nm_device_get_type_description() for that
and it is shown by
nmcli -f GENERAL.TYPE device show
Reimplement that function for nm-core. Just take care that the
two implementations don't diverge.
Previously, it would silently accept a value set to "empty".
This is however not a valid number and we should raise a
warning just like for any other invalid number.
When generating a connection to assume it, also record the route-metric.
Do that by looking at the metric of the (best) default-route.
This is especially important since d51975ed92.
Now NM would also manage the default-route for assumed connections.
So the generated assumed connection would have a route metric based on
the device type, which might differ from the external configuration.
This caused NM to replace the externally configured default-route.

Turns out the dconf modules is leaky and breaks the valgrind run. In any case,
it's not a good idea to load the modules for the daemon, it just takes time
and memory.
On a Fedora/x86_64 desktop it adds up to 5M to the RSS.
Add the new configuration option 'assume-ipv6ll-only' which specifies
the devices for which NM will try to assume an existing IPv6LL-only
configuration.
The new default behavior is to ignore such configurations since IPv6LL
addresses are automatically assigned by the kernel when the device is
brought up and thus the presence of an IPv6LL address doesn't mean
that the device was configured by the administrator.
The previous behavior was to always assume IPv6LL-only configurations
but this often had the unwanted effect of preventing other on-disk
configurations to be activated. To preserve the old behavior the
option must be set to '*'.

Alias files have a ':' to separate the base name from their
alias. But we didn't always ensure not to write-out files without
colon, and also initscripts doesn't have that restriction.
We should detect alias files and handle them properly (e.g. by
reloading the base file).
This fixes an error that a `nmcli con load` would have tried to
load the alias file. Also extend load_connection() to support
passing filenames other then the base file.
We only have to handle this in plugin.c. Inside reader.c we always
have the normalized base filename.
Or detection of alias files only looks whether the filename has a ':'
and whether a corresponding base file exists.
Previously, if the main ifcfg file doesn't define any
static ip addresses, any alias files would be ignored.
We should also allow alias files with (pure) 'dhcp' connections,
just like initscripts do.
Reported-by: Marek Hulan <mhulan@redhat.com>
connection_from_file() used to log a warning about failure,
but only when an @error argument was given.
update_connection() didn't ensure that in several cases,
so we would not log any failure reason when an ifcfg file
failed to read.
This behavior of controlling logging by passing @error (or not)
is unexpected. Instead, refactor the code so that the caller
can do appropriate logging.
Another reason for this refactoring is that PARSE_WARNING() does
not mention the file for which the failure is and uses some extra
indention that looks wrong. IOW, connection_from_file() doesn't
have the context to give the logging line a proper formatting.

I did a "ip link set lo name yolo" and now my NetworkManager triggers an
assertion failure. :( Nevertheless, the loopback interface is always ifindex=1.
We already have "nm-utils*.h" and "NetworkManagerUtils.h" headers. Rename
"include/nm-utils-internal.h" to "nm-macros-internal.h". I think that
name is better, because this file is header-only, internal, and
repository-wide.
Also, it will never contain non-header-only declarations because
there is no backing object file under "include/".
It will only contain macros and inline functions.
Previously for assumed connections we would never configure a default route.
That has serious problems for example in the following two scenarios:
- the default-route might have a limited lifetime from a previous
SLAAC/accept_ra setting. In this case, once we assume the connection
we must also ensure that we extend the lifetime of the default
route.
- the gateway could be received via DHCP/RA and it might change.
If we ignore default-routes for assumed connection we miss that
change.
The problem is that the notion of "assumed connection" wrongly combines
two conflicting goals (related bug bgo#746440):
a) have an external device that is entirely unmanged by NM.
b) do a seamless takeover of a previously managed connection at start,
but still fully manage.
This patch changes the handling of default-routes towards meaning b).
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1224291
Since da708059da, we would pickup the
default-route as configured externally, except at those moments when
NM re-applys the IP configuration of the interface, such as during a
DHCP lease.
That allows the user to add/remove the default-route externally (iproute).
But still, at random times (DHCP lease), we will revert those external
changes.
Extend this, that if the connection is explicitly configured as
'never-default=yes', that it tells NM not to interfere with externally
added default-routes on this device. That means, NM will only remove
any preexisting default-routes when configuring the device a first
time.
On any later attempts, NM will assume whatever is configured there.
That makes sense because the user indicated not wanting NM to
manage a default-route on that device, so if something externally
added a default-route, assume that is what the user wants.
This only affects non-assumed connections, with 'never-default=yes'.

D-Bus default limit of replies per connection has been lowered to 128 due to
CVE-2014-3638, see:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/commit/?id=5bc7f9519ebc6117ba300c704794b36b87c2194bhttps://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81053
The limit seems to be too low and causes problems in libnm-glib, that will not
return all NetworkManager connection profiles if there are too many of them
(roughly more than the limit). As a consequence, libnm-glib based clients will
not work properly.
Lets increase the limit in our D-Bus org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf
configuration as we had it before.
See also older commit d5b31d55fa that did the
opposite thing (removing the limit because the default D-Bus limit was 8192 at
that time).
With GCC 5, -Wlogical-not-parentheses is enabled by -Wall and warns
about suspicious code like:

After commits:
de0d623680 dns: don't fall back to other methods when resolvconf or netconfig fail
e573977b80 dns: allow runtime selection of resolv.conf manager
the method used to write /etc/resolv.conf is specified by a
configuration parameter and NM doesn't try other methods if the chosen
one has not success.
Restore the fallback to the 'none' method if resolvconf or netconfig
executables are not available, so that when the value of 'rc-manager'
is misconfigured the system continues to work properly.

"nm-utils-private.h" should not be used outside of libnm-core/.
core/ should only use public API or "nm-core-internal.h".
Also, "nm-setting-ip-config.h" is a public header and should
not contain internal defines. Move them to "nm-core-internal.h"
too.
Fixes: 019943bb5d
We need to know whether we can create interfaces of any given
NMDevice subclass or not. So don't rely on just the NMPlatformLink
for that information, because we won't have a platform link for
software devices before we create them.
