If the device is still unmanaged by platform-init (which means that
udev didn't emit the event for the interface) when the device gets
realized, we currently clear the assume state. Later, when the device
becomes managed, NM is not able to properly assume the device using
the UUID.
This situation arises, for example, when NM already configured the
device in initrd; after NM is restarted in the real root, udev events
can be delayed causing this race condition.
Among all unamanaged flags, platform-init is the only one that can be
delayed externally. We should not clear the assume state if the device
has only platform-init in the unmanaged flags.

_set_state_full() in NMDevice already calls
nm_device_assume_state_reset() when the device reaches state >
DISCONNECTED.

When the link goes away the manager keeps software devices alive as
unrealized because there is still a connection for them.
If the device is software and has a NM-generated connection, keeping
the device alive means that also the generated connection stays
alive. The result is that both stick around forever even if there is
no longer a kernel link.
Add a check to avoid this situation.

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.
