If an existing connection has an interface name set and the generator
finds a BOOTIF argument, it creates a new connection for BOOTIF.
Instead, the generator should set the MAC in the existing connection;
this sounds more correct and it is what the network-legacy module
does.

"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.
By default a connection is retried 4 times before it is blocked from
autoconnecting. This means that if a user specifies an explicit DHCP
timeout in the initrd command line, NM will wait up to 4 times more.
Instead, set the "connection.autoconnect-retries" property of
connections always to 1, so that NM only waits for the time
specified.
Before this commit a default DHCP connection would take at most (45 x
4) seconds. Since the multiplier is now only 1, also increase the DHCP
timeout to have a total time of (90 x 1) seconds, which is the half
than before.

Currently "src/" mostly contains the source code of the daemon.
I say mostly, because that is not true, there are also the device,
settings, wwan, ppp plugins, the initrd generator, the pppd and dhcp
helper, and probably more.
Also we have source code under libnm-core/, libnm/, clients/, and
shared/ directories. That is all confusing.
We should have one "src" directory, that contains subdirectories. Those
subdirectories should contain individual parts (libraries or
applications), that possibly have dependencies on other subdirectories.
There should be a flat hierarchy of directories under src/, which
contains individual modules.
As the name "src/" is already taken, that prevents any sensible
restructuring of the code.
As a first step, move "src/" to "src/core/". This gives space to
reorganize the code better by moving individual components into "src/".
For inspiration, look at systemd's "src/" directory.
