Use the new NMConnection 'changed' signal to mark connections
as dirty/unsaved, and reset that when they get flushed to disk.
Previously, the 'Updated' signal was emitted only when the
connection was changed and flushed to disk, but now we have
more granular needs, and the signal is emitted whenever the
connection actually *is* changed, regardless of whether its
flushed to disk or not.
Rather than having a bunch of udev-based tests, use
nm_platform_link_get_type() to categorize devices.
Incomplete, as NMPlatform still categorizes most hardware types as
"ETHERNET", so we still need udev-based tests for those.

Add hidden command line option --run-from-build-dir; with that, helpers
like nm-avahi-autoipd.action and nm-dhcp-helper will be called from the
build tree instead of libexecdir, which allows testing without having to
install first.
Helper paths are now stored in global variables instead of macros, and
get modified with that new option.

Add single-letter options for --version, --no-daemon, --debug, and
--pid-file (and document them, as well as the existing single-letter
option for --help).

When run with --no-daemon, NM used to duplicate all syslog output to
stderr, for ease of debugging. But this meant it had to tell systemd
to ignore stderr, so you wouldn't get duplicated log entries. But that
meant we lost error messages that didn't go through nm_log. (eg,
g_warning()s and g_return_if_fail()s).
Fix this by making --no-daemon no longer duplicate syslog output to
stderr, and removing the "StandardError=null" from the systemd service
file. To get the old behavior, you can use --debug instead of
--no-daemon.

nm_device_state_changed() had a check to make sure it wasn't entered
recursively (which had been a source of bugs in the past), but it was
global rather than per-device, so it caused errors when VLANs changed
state in response to their parent device changing state. Fix that.

Some devices aren't expected to support carrier detection, so there's
no reason to have NMDevice log about it. Move that message into
NMDeviceEthernet, where failure to support carrier-detect really is
worth mentioning.
Also, make NMDeviceEthernet use NMPlatform for carrier-detection
detection (and move the MII carrier-detect-support check from
NMDeviceEthernet into NMLinuxPlatform).
Finally, have NMDeviceGeneric actually check whether the device
supports carrier detect, rather than just always assuming it doesn't.
This is really, really old 2007-era code. Any NMDevice that gets
created is already supported, so there's no reason to have every
device set NM_DEVICE_CAP_NM_SUPPORTED. For those subclasses that
only set that capability, we can remove the subclass method
entirely. Next, it turns out that the "type capabilities" code
wasn't used anywhere, so remove that too. Lastly, "cipsec"
interfaces haven't been used on linux in about 5 years (they
were created by the Cisco binary-only IPSec kernel module for
Cisco VPNs long before vpnc and openswan came around) so we can
remove that code too.
With carrier handling moved to NMDevice, the only thing left in
NMDeviceWired was speed, which was actually ethernet-specific anyway.
So move that to NMDeviceEthernet, and then kill NMDeviceWired.
Change the way that nm-properties-changed-signal works, and parse the
dbus-binding-tool-generated info to get the exact list of properties
that it's expected to export.
This makes NM_PROPERTY_PARAM_NO_EXPORT unnecessary, and also fixes the
problem of properties like NMDevice:hw-address being exported on
classes where it shouldn't be.
4d326182 changed connection hashing slightly such that now base type settings
are always returned even if they are empty. Unfortunately a bunch of code in
the settings hashed connections with the ONLY_SECRETS flag and then checked
whether the returned hash was NULL or not to determine whether there were
any secrets, and then called nm_connection_update_secrets() with the hash.
nm_connection_update_secrets() would fail in the case where a setting
name was given, but the passed-in secrets hash did not contain any secrets
for the requested setting. Instead, the function should return success
to match the semantics of passing in an entire connection hash which may
not have any secrets either.
