A convenience so that clients which might key certain operations off
which connections are active (checking work mail only when on VPN for
example) can more easily get which connections are active. This would
allow those apps to store the UUID (which they would already be doing)
and not have to create a Connection proxy and then get the connection
properties just to retrieve the UUID of the connection. Instead they
can now get it from GetAll of the ActiveConnection object, which they
would already be doing.
Due to limitations in dbus-glib, where one GObject cannot have more
than one introspection XML object attached to it, we used to include
more than one <interface> in the VPNConnection object introspection
XML. This was suboptimal for two reasons:
1) it duplicated the Connection.Active introspection XML which
made it harder for clients to use the introspection data in a
dynamic fashion, besides looking ugly in the docs
2) not many other programs use this feature of dbus-glib, which
means it didn't get a lot of testing, and broke, which sucks
for NM.
To fix this issue, create a base class for NMVpnConnection that
handles the Connection.Active API, and make NMVpnConnection itself
handle just the VPN pieces that it layers on top. This makes
dbus-glib happy because we aren't using two <interface> blocks
in the same introspection XML, and it makes the NM code more
robust because we can re-use the existing Connection.Active
introspection XML in the NMVpnConnectionBase class.
Remove all references to connection scope and user-settings services
from the various internal APIs of the daemon. The external DBus API
remains unchanged, albeit in stub form for scope stuff.

Rework VPN connection handling for a more consistent D-Bus API. The
VPNManager object has been removed, and active VPN connections are now the
same as any other active connection. The Manager object's ActivateConnection
and DeactivateConnection methods are used to start and stop a VPN connection,
and the VPNConnection objects are subclasses of the ActiveConnection objects.
When activating a VPN connection, pass the path of the active connection
to which the VPN connection is tied in the 'specific_object' argument.
Consequently, the libnm-glib API has been reworked to match this arrangement,
with the VPNManager object removed, and the NMVPNConnection objects now
being subclasses of NMActiveConnection.
