Commit b2a0738765 ('man: improve manual page for nm-online') removed
the explanation of how may-fail can be used to wait for a specific
address family during boot. I found that part useful. Add it again,
adapting it to the new behavior introduced by 1e5206414a ('device:
don't delay startup complete for pending-actions "autoconf", "dhcp4"
and "dhcp6"').

Since commit c1907a218a ('libnm-core: remove gateway when
never-default=yes in NMSettingIPConfig'), the gateway gets normalized
away when the profile has never-default set.
That means,
$ nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" ipv4.never-default yes ipv4.gateway 192.168.77.1
does not set the gateway. Likewise, if your profile has already never-default
enabled,
$ nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" ipv4.gateway 192.168.77.1
will have no effect. That is confusing and undesirable.
Note that we don't adjust the GObject property setter for "gateway" to clear
never-default. I feel, setting one property in libnm should preferably
not unset another (there are exceptions to the rule, like for team
properties). However, for nmcli it's clear in which order properties
are set, so this change is right for the client tool.

The profile's "ipv4.gateway" and "ipv6.gateway" has only one real
purpose: to define the next hop of a static default route.
Usually, when specifying a gateway in this way, the default route from
other addressing methods (like DHCPv4 or IPv6 autoconf) gets ignored.
If you have a WireGuard peer with "AllowedIPs=0.0.0.0/0" and
"wireguard.peer-routes" enabled, NetworkManager would automatically add
a route to the peer. Previously, if the user also set a gateway, that
route was suppressed.
That doesn't feel right. Note that configuring a gateway on a WireGuard
profile is likely to be wrong to begin with. At least, unless you take
otherwise care to avoid routing loops. If you take care, setting a
gateway may work, but it would feel clearer to instead just add an
explicit /0 manual route instead.
Also, note that usually you don't need a gateway anyway. WireGuard is a
Layer 3 (IP) tunnel, where the next hop is alway just the other side of
the tunnel. The next hop has little effect on the routes that you
configure on a WireGuard interface. What however matters is whether a
default route is present or not.
Also, an explicit gateway probably works badly with "ipv[46].ip4-auto-default-route",
because in that case the automatism should add a /0 peer-route route in a
separate routing table. The explicit gateway interferes with that too.
Nonetheless, without this patch it's not obvious why the /0 peer
route gets suppressed when a gateway is set. Don't allow for that, and
always add the peer-route.
Probably the profile's gateway setting is still wrong and causes the
profile not to work. But at least, you see all routes configured, and
it's clearer where the (wrong) default route to the gateway comes from.
This will be useful to set future options on the NMIPConfig.
Yes, the code duplication of NMIP[46]Config is horrible. Needs
to be unified in the future.
We shall emit a changed signal when PolicyKit changes. That implies also
emitting the signal when PolicyKit starts. Watch the name owner for
that.
Note that I don't manage to actually receive the "Changed" signal from
PolicyKit. That seems to be due to wrong D-Bus configuration which
prevents the "Changed" signal from PolicyKit to reach NetworkManager.
That is independent from this patch.

Why "if (length > G_MAXUINT)"? This is never going to hit. Also,
we probably should actual missing keys handle differently from
empty lists. If @error is set, return without setting the property.
g_key_file_get_integer_list() can return %NULL without setting an error.
That is the case if the key is set to an empty value.
For X sake, this API. Read the documentation and figure out whether
the function can return %NULL without reporting an error.
Anyway, avoid the assertion failure.

- indent by 4 spaces, not 8. We do that for the other 2 D-Bus
configuration files. Also, since our lines here are rather long,
save a bit in this regard.
- don't wrap lines for the XML elements. It makes it easier to visually
parse.
- sort some lines asciibetically.
No changes otherwise.
monitor-connection-files was deprecated and disabled by default for a long
time. In the meantime, it has no effect at all.
Remove references from the manual pages.
