1) The "enabled-on-global-iface" flag was odd. Instead, have only
and "enabled" flag and skip (by default) endpoints on interface
that have no default route. With the new flag "also-without-default-route",
this can be overruled. So previous "enabled-on-global-default" now is
the same as "enabled", and "enabled" from before behaves now like
"enabled,also-without-default-route".
2) What was also odd, as that the fallback default value for the flags
depends on "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled". There was not one fixed
fallback default, instead the used fallback value was either
"enabled-on-global-iface,subflow" or "disabled".
Usually that is not a problem (e.g. the default value for
"ipv6.ip6-privacy" also depends on use_tempaddr sysctl). In this case
it is a problem, because the mptcp-flags (for better or worse) encode
different things at the same time.
Consider that the mptcp-flags can also have their default configured in
"NetworkManager.conf", a user who wants to switch the address flags
could previously do:
[connection.mptcp]
connection.mptcp-flags=0x32 # enabled-on-global-iface,signal,subflow
but then the global toggle "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled" was no longer
honored. That means, MPTCP handling was always on, even if the sysctl was
disabled. Now, "enabled" means that it's only enabled if the sysctl
is enabled too. Now the user could write to "NetworkManager.conf"
[connection.mptcp]
connection.mptcp-flags=0x32 # enabled,signal,subflow
and MPTCP handling would still be disabled unless the sysctl
is enabled.
There is now also a new flag "also-without-sysctl", so if you want
to really enable MPTCP handling regardless of the sysctl, you can.
The point of that might be, that we still can configure endpoints,
even if kernel won't do anything with them. Then you could just flip
the sysctl, and it would start working (as NetworkManager configured
the endpoints already).

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)

Introduce internal function `_nm_connection_ensure_setting()` to
`libnm-core-aux-intern` and add specified setting to connection if not
found.

This patch is introducing NM_DEVICE_INTERFACE_FLAG_PROMISC in
interface_flags. The flag represents IFF_PROMISC kernel flag.

Avoid dependencies but explicitly link the static library where it is
used.
This also fixes that we linked libnm-log-core into
libnm-settings-plugin-ifcfg-rh.so, which duplicated the symbols
while it should used them from NetworkManager.
glib requires G_LOG_DOMAIN defined so that log messages are labeled
to belong to NetworkManager or libnm.
However, we don't actually want to use glib logging. Our library libnm
MUST not log anything, because it spams the user's stdout/stderr.
Instead, a library must report notable events via its API. Note that
there is also LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG to explicitly enable debug logging,
but that doesn't use glib logging either.
Also, the daemon does not use glib logging instead it logs to syslog.
When run with `--debug`.
Hence, it's not useful for us to define different G_LOG_DOMAIN per
library/application, because none of our libraries/applications should
use glib logging.
It also gets slightly confusing, because we have the static library like
`src/libnm-core-impl`, which is both linked into `libnm` (the library)
and `NetworkManager` (the daemon). Which logging domain should they use?
Set the G_LOG_DOMAIN to "nm" everywhere. But no longer do it via `-D`
arguments to the compiler.

"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.
