A number of classes in core had their own error domains that aren't
really necessary.
In the case of NMDcbError, NMDhcpManagerError, NMDnsManagerError,
NMDnsmasqManagerError, NMPppManagerError, and NMSessionMonitorError,
most of the codes they defined weren't even being used, and at any
rate, the errors were always returned into contexts where they would
just have their message extracted and then get thrown away without
anyone ever looking at the domain or code. So all uses of those
domains can just be replaced with NM_MANAGER_ERROR_FAILED without any
loss of information.
NMAuthManagerError only had 1 error code, and it just indicated
"something went wrong", so it can be replaced with
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_FAILED without loss of information.
(nm-auth-manager.c has also been fixed to return
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_FAILED when the CheckAuthorization D-Bus call fails,
rather than returning whatever error domain/code the D-Bus call
returned.)
NMVpnManagerError used 2 of its 4 error codes, and they could actually
end up getting returned across D-Bus in some cases. But there are
NMManagerError codes that are semantically similar enough to make the
NMVpnManagerError ones unnecessary.
Let the user completly disable polkit authentication by
building NM with configure option '--enable-polkit=disabled'.
In that case, configuring 'main.auth-polkit=yes' will fail all
authentication requests (except root-requests, which are always granted).
This reduces the size of the NetworkManager binary by some 26KB (16KB
stripped).

This makes NetworkManager independent of <polkit/polkit.h>
development headers and libpolkit-gobject-1.so library.
Instead communicate directly with polkit using its DBUS
interface.
PolicyKit support is now always compiled in. You can control
polkit authorization with the configuration option
[main]
auth-polkit=yes|no
If the configure option is omitted, a build time default
value is used. This default value can be set with the
configure option --enable-polkit.
This commit adds a new class NMAuthManager that reimplements the
relevant DBUS client parts. It takes source code from the polkit
library.
