We used to pad the lifetime since the beginning (commit
f121995fad).
However, there is not race involved, since our platform cache
is in sync with the messages from kernel (which didn't used to
be the case).
Also, when receiving a RA with a zero preferred time, we must
not extend the address lifetime by 5 seconds, but instead deprecate
the address immediately.

str_if_set() was added to replace the non-standard gcc extension "?:".
However, "?:" is supported by clang as well and we already use it at
several places.
Also, str_if_set() did not follow our naming scheme and renaming to
nm_str_if_set() would be ugly. So just drop it.
Most functions defined in "nm-platform-utils.h" perform a lookup
of link properties, for example via ethtool or sysfs. Those functions
depend on the system configuration, such as the current network namespace.
Move the simple helper functions away to "nm-core-internal.h", so that
all remaining functions from "nm-platform-utils.h" are really related to
somthing that interacts with the system/kernel.
Coverity complains rightly about "strncpy (dst, ifname, IFNAMSIZ)"
because it might leave @dst non-NULL-terminated, in case @ifname
is too long (which already would be a bug in the first place).
Replace the strcpy() uses by a new helper nm_utils_ifname_cpy()
that asserts against valid arguments.
"NetworkManagerUtils.h" contains a bunch of helper tools for core
daemon ("src/").
Unfortunately, it has dependencies to other parts of core,
such as "nm-device.h" and "nm-platform.h". Split out a part
of tools that are independent so that they can be used without
dragging in other dependencies.
"nm-core-utils.h" should only use libnm-core, "nm-logging.h"
and shared.
"NetworkManagerUtils.h" should provide all "nm-core-utils.h" and
possibly other utilities that have larger dependencies.
