Shortcut to access the connection linked to the activation
request of a device.
The patch only replaces usage with nm_device_get_connection()
if the existing code assumes that an activation request must
be available.

This allows us to package WiMAX separately so you can choose
to install WiMAX or not. For package-based distros you can now
install libnm-device-plugin-wimax.so in a separate package that
links to/requires the Intel WiMAX service instead of having the
main NM package require it and pull it in by default. This
plugin infrastructure will be extended to other device types
as well.
Add an accessor for device rfkill type and use that instead of
GObject properties, and also use that accessor when claiming a
new device instead of checking NM_IS_DEVICE_xxxx(). Allows us
to move one step closer to making WiMAX a plugin.
ether_aton() allows addresses like "0:1:2:3:4:5" which was casusing
some problems when reading connections after switching callers of
ether_aton() to nm_utils_hwaddr_aton().
NetworkManager[815]: merge_ip6_configs: assertion `src != NULL' failed
Calling ip6_config_merge_and_apply() with a NULL src_config is fine
since that's what happens during RA or DHCP lease changes.

The RDNSS and DNSSL failure cases wouldn't clear out the idle
handler of a previous success (if that success hadn't fired yet);
it seems pointless to signal success and then immediately fail.
Second, it would cause a dangling GSource if the device was
removed or NM quit at the right time.
The errors appeared due to calling GetAccessPoints() on removed devices:
nm_device_wifi_get_access_points: error getting access points: Method "GetAccessPoints" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Wireless" doesn't exist
NMClient and NMDevice used a 'lazy' approach for getting stuff from D-Bus, i.e.
requesting data from NM when they are asked for. However, for some cases, like
removing devices it is not optimal. libnm-glib will never see a device that was
removed, but not added during NMClient's lifetime.
So let's get devices list in NMClient's constructor and device properties
in NMDevice constructor to have the data from the beginning.
