Now that we have nm_dns_systemd_resolved_resolve_address(), we also
need a way to obtain a reference to the plugin.

'v_name' must be freed. Pass ownership to the result element.
Fixes: e7b76f6757 ('dns/resolved: add API for ResolveAddress call')
(cherry picked from commit 9e69d921c1)
D-Bus 1.3.1 (2010) introduced the standard "PropertiesChanged" signal
on "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties". NetworkManager is old, and predates
this API. From that time, it still had it's own PropertiesChanged signal
that are emitted together with the standard ones. NetworkManager
supports the standard PropertiesChanged signal since it switched to
gdbus library in version 1.2.0 (2016).
These own signals are deprecated for a long time already ([1], 2016), and
are hopefully not used by anybody anymore. libnm-glib was using them and
relied on them, but that library is gone. libnm does not use them and neither
does plasma-nm.
Hopefully no users are left that are affected by this API break.

If the configuration contains dns=none and resolv.conf is updated
through a dispatcher script, currently there is no way to tell NM that
the content of resolv.conf changed, so that it can restart a hostname
resolution.
Use SIGUSR1 (and SIGHUP) for that.
ResolveAddress is a simple D-Bus API. One might think that it does not
require much logic, and we would just make the D-Bus call directly.
However, we want to ensure that we always sent our latest DNS
configuration to systemd-resolved first, before making any D-Bus request
to resolve a name.
Also, as we D-Bus activate the service and watch the name owner, we
want to handle that. If a user resolves a name while we are still D-Bus
activating, then we need to queue the request.
This adds some complexity in the implementation. But the benefit is that
the API becomes simple from the user's point of view. The queuing and
avoiding race conditions is handled internally.
The implementation does not use standard glib patterns with GAsyncResult
GTask and GCancellable. I find implementing them correctly is more
effort and leads to a less nice API. That might be fine for public API,
which should follow glib style. But this is entirely internal, and
returning a NMDnsSystemdResolvedResolveHandle that allows cancellation
seems more convenient to me.
As we already track the current name owner, it seems wrong to make
requests to the well-known name. It theoretically opens a race
where we would talk to the wrong systemd-resolved instance.
So far, we didn't care and it didn't make much of a difference.
Still, let's talk to the process that we expect.
The "_lst" suffix already indicates that this is a list. We have
a list of ip-configs, so the prefix should be singular. It also matches
the "NMDnsConfigIPData.ip_config_lst" field.
The main reason for this renaming is that I want to search the file
for /ip_config_lst/ and find both the list head and the list elements.
With systemd-resolved, NetworkManager considers `/etc/resolv.conf`
unmanaged. This breaks hostname lookups in a subtle way: when a new
connection comes online, NM will initiate the hostname lookup *before*
propagating DNS updates to systemd-resolved, which of course will cause
the request to fail. And because NM doesn't update `/etc/resolv.conf`,
it doesn't emit a `CONFIG_CHANGED` signal which would've restarted the
lookup.
Fix this by emitting a signal also when using a caching DNS plugin.

"libnm-core/" is rather complicated. It provides a static library that
is linked into libnm.so and NetworkManager. It also contains public
headers (like "nm-setting.h") which are part of public libnm API.
Then we have helper libraries ("libnm-core/nm-libnm-core-*/") which
only rely on public API of libnm-core, but are themself static
libraries that can be used by anybody who uses libnm-core. And
"libnm-core/nm-libnm-core-intern" is used by libnm-core itself.
Move "libnm-core/" to "src/". But also split it in different
directories so that they have a clearer purpose.
The goal is to have a flat directory hierarchy. The "src/libnm-core*/"
directories correspond to the different modules (static libraries and set
of headers that we have). We have different kinds of such modules because
of how we combine various code together. The directory layout now reflects
this.
Currently "src/" mostly contains the source code of the daemon.
I say mostly, because that is not true, there are also the device,
settings, wwan, ppp plugins, the initrd generator, the pppd and dhcp
helper, and probably more.
Also we have source code under libnm-core/, libnm/, clients/, and
shared/ directories. That is all confusing.
We should have one "src" directory, that contains subdirectories. Those
subdirectories should contain individual parts (libraries or
applications), that possibly have dependencies on other subdirectories.
There should be a flat hierarchy of directories under src/, which
contains individual modules.
As the name "src/" is already taken, that prevents any sensible
restructuring of the code.
As a first step, move "src/" to "src/core/". This gives space to
reorganize the code better by moving individual components into "src/".
For inspiration, look at systemd's "src/" directory.
