Now that higher priorities numbers really mean more important,
it seems that the VPN configuration should be rather important.
Bump the number, also in relation to NMDevice's L3ConfigDataType.
It might not matter too much, because usually the VPN tunnel device does
not have NDevice to add other l3cds and those from VPN might be alone.
Except, maybe with routing VPN (libreswan) that is different. Dunno.
We use clang-format for automatic formatting of our source files.
Since clang-format is actively maintained software, the actual
formatting depends on the used version of clang-format. That is
unfortunate and painful, but really unavoidable unless clang-format
would be strictly bug-compatible.
So the version that we must use is from the current Fedora release, which
is also tested by our gitlab-ci. Previously, we were using Fedora 34 with
clang-tools-extra-12.0.1-1.fc34.x86_64.
As Fedora 35 comes along, we need to update our formatting as Fedora 35
comes with version "13.0.0~rc1-1.fc35".
An alternative would be to freeze on version 12, but that has different
problems (like, it's cumbersome to rebuild clang 12 on Fedora 35 and it
would be cumbersome for our developers which are on Fedora 35 to use a
clang that they cannot easily install).
The (differently painful) solution is to reformat from time to time, as we
switch to a new Fedora (and thus clang) version.
Usually we would expect that such a reformatting brings minor changes.
But this time, the changes are huge. That is mentioned in the release
notes [1] as
Makes PointerAligment: Right working with AlignConsecutiveDeclarations. (Fixes https://llvm.org/PR27353)

Completely rework IP configuration in the daemon. Use NML3Cfg as layer 3
manager for the IP configuration of an interface. Use NML3ConfigData as
pieces of configuration that the various components collect and
configure. NMDevice is managing most of the IP configuration at a higher
level, that is, it starts DHCP and other IP methods. Rework the state
handling there.
This is a huge rework of how NetworkManager daemon handles IP
configuration. Some fallout is to be expected.
It appears the patch deletes many lines of code. That is not accurate, because
you also have to count the files `src/core/nm-l3*`, which were unused previously.

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.

We will add a general "firewall-manager", so rename the firewalld related
file. This commit only renames the file. The next commit will change the
symbol naming.
All usages of nm_settings_connection_clear_secrets() outside of the
NMSettingsConnection implementation were setting the
clear_cached_system_secrets parameter to FALSE which meant that the
operation was a no-op since the system-secrets cache kept a copy of the
secrets being cleared and any access to the SettingsConnection through
the D-Bus API or the class methods would behave the same as without the
call, with the exception of directly reading the settings from the
result of nm_settings_connection_get_connection(). The calls would
still generate D-Bus and gobject signals however, which were redundant.
Drop the method and its calls from the rest of NM code as not needed and
potentially confusing. The comments preceding these calls implied that
they were needed so that the next activation attempt would be forced to
use nm_settings_connection_get_secrets() but this was the case probably
only before the applied connection concept was introduced.
Also drop two nm_active_connection_clear_secrets() uses in
NMVpnConnection, right before the teardown of the active connection,
that could only possibly have any effect if they affected the
NMSettingsConnection, but as mentioned earlier the
nm_settings_connection_clear_secrets() use inside
nm_active_connection_clear_secrets() didn't do anything and is now
removed.
The one internal use of nm_active_connection_clear_secrets() in the
D-Bus ClearSecrets() implementation is inlined.
Having two functions like link_set_x() and link_set_nox() it is not a
good idea. This patch is introducing nm_platform_link_change_flags().
This allow flag modification directly, so the developer does not need to
define the virtual functions all the time everywhere.

Allow IP prefixes of 0 for routing rules, which are used for specifying a
route for all traffic. (e.g. route all traffic by default with separate
rules to exclude specific IP ranges)
#711
"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.
