Make the main/dns config key be a single value rather than a list of
plugins. Since there is currently only one valid value for it
("dnsmasq"), this is backward-compatible.
In the future, it will be possible to specify custom DNS-configuring
scripts here, which is a more flexible way of handling complicated
behavior than trying to create chainable internal plugins.
Add an ignore-carrier option to NetworkManager.conf, for specifying
devices where carrier state should be ignored for purposes of
activating/deactivating connections.
Add a new configuration directory ($nmconfdir/conf.d by default,
overridable via the --config-dir command-line option) that can contain
".conf" files that will be parsed in asciibetical order to override
the main NetworkManager.conf file.
In addition to simple overrides, the conf files also support appending
to the value of a previously-set list-valued key, by doing, eg,
"plugins+=foo"

Add some new API to NMConfig so that NMSettings and its plugins can
use NMConfig to look up values rather than reparsing the config file
themselves.
Also, move the no-auto-default cache from NetworkManager.conf to
$NMSTATEDIR/no-auto-default.state, so NM isn't rewriting its own
config file at runtime.
Add NMConfigDevice, which is mostly just a wrapper around
nm_device_get_hw_address() and nm_device_spec_match_list(), and
implement it in NMDevice. This will be used for config options that
match devices. (We can't use NMDevice directly for dependency
reasons.)
There is no reason to configure the connectivity-check options from
the command line rather than from the config file. Keep the options,
for backward-compatibility, but remove them from the man page and hide
them from --help.
The list of log domains in the --log-domains documentation had gotten
out of date. Fix this by adding nm_logging_all_domain_to_string()
(and, for completeness, nm_logging_all_levels_to_string()), and use
those to fill in the help string.
Rather than having main.c parse them and then hand them all to
nm_config_new(), just let nm-config provide its own GOptionEntry
array to merge in with main's.
It's a singleton that always exists. Callers shouldn't have to
refcount it.
Also, move its cleanup code from dispose() to finalize(), and remove
some unnecessary checks in it.
