Heavily rework NML3Cfg's ACD handling.
- the (user facing) API changed, so that we can ask the current ACD
state of an address with nm_l3cfg_get_acd_addr_info(). So, the
acd-event signal is only to notify when the state changes, it does
not carry information that you couldn't fetch anytime.
- add clearer ACD states (NML3AcdAddrState). The current (ACD) state
of an address is important and becomes part of the information that
we expose.
- add new ACD state "USED", when ACD fails. This blocks the address from
being used. Usually the caller would either remove the (used) address
or force reconfigure it (by setting acd_timeout_msec to zero).
- add new ACD state "CONFLICT". Previously conflicts were not handled.
Now the API allows to specify the defend policy. A conflicted address
also gets blocked from being used.
- add new ACD state "EXTERNAL_REMOVED". This happens when we have an
address we wanted to configure, but then the address is no longer
on the interface. For example because the user removed it from the
interface. This also leaves the device indefinitely blocked, and
is important to stop announcing the address.
- add a new ACD state "READY". This indicates that the address is ready
to be configured, but not yet actually configured on the device. This
is the step before "DEFENDING".
ACD is handled by NML3Cfg and it intercepts the IP addresses when
merging the NML3ConfigData.
Originally, I thought that in such a case, the merged l3cd instance
would simply not contain any addresses that ACD have still pending or
which have a conflict.
However, I think it's better (clearer and possibly useful), to still
merge such addresses, but flag them that they are ignored when syncing
the addresses to platform.
It is not yet used, but it will be used to mark instances that
are not supposed to be configured in platform, because ACD is
either still pending of failed.
When a wifi device is in a bridge, the supplicant must be aware of it,
as a socket must be opened on the bridge to receive packets.
Set the BridgeIfname property of the supplicant Interface object
before starting the association. Note that the property was read-only
in the past and recently [1] became read-write. When using a
supplicant version without the patch, writing the property will return
an InvalidArgs error and NetworkManager will print a warning.

It's cumbersome if we always need to cast our arguments for
the strv helper functions. Depending on the situation, we often
have a "char **" or a "const char *const*" argument.
Use NM_CAST_STRV_CC() macros instead. This macro uses C11's _Generic()
and casts types that are presumed to be safe. This tends to be less
typing and more type-safe, because you don't need an explicit C cast
(which would overrule any warning that the compiler might have for you).
The underscore somehow indicated that these would be an internal
function. Which they are in the sense that they are in "shared/nm-glib-aux/".
But they part of our internal helper functions, and in our code base
their use is no discouraged or "private.
Also, next I'll replace the function call with a macro, so, I will
have a need for the underscore name.
Rename.
This is potentially a breaking change, formerly speciyfing 'none|off'
in the kernel cmdline option 'ip' was understood by the dracut
network-module as doing 'ipv6.method=auto' which is clearly incosistent
with the 'off' naming, thus 'off|none' now means to actually disable
both ipv6 and ipv4 (unless a static ip is provided).
Unit test added.

- use a guint64 variable to avoid wrapping the counter
- cache the used ID in NMDevice. This way, the same NMDevice
instance will get the same UDI path when it realizes
and unrealizes multiple times.
Change the default DNS priority of VPNs to -50, to avoid leaking
queries out of full-tunnel VPNs.
This is a change in behavior. In particular:
- when using dns=default (i.e. no split-dns) before this patch both
VPN and the local name server were added (in this order) to
resolv.conf; the result was that depending on resolv.conf options
and resolver implementation, the name servers were tried in a
certain manner which does not prevent DNS leaks.
With this change, only the VPN name server is added to resolv.conf.
- When using a split-dns plugin (systemd-resolved or dnsmasq), before
this patch the full-tunnel VPN would get all queries except those
ending in a local domain, that would instead be directed to the
local server.
After this patch, the VPN gets all queries.
To revert to the old behavior, set the DNS priority to 50 in the
connection profile.
If a VPN has never-default=no but doesn't get a default route (this
can happen for example when the server pushes routes with
openconnect), and there are no search domains, then the name servers
pushed by the server would be unused. It is preferable in this case to
use the VPN DNS server for all queries.

With "connection.multi-connect", a profile can be activated multiple
times on a device with `nmcli connection show`. Also, a profile may be
in the process of deactivating on one device, while activating on
another one. So, in general it's possible that `nmcli connection show`
lists the same profile on multiple lines (reflecting their multiple
activation states).
If the user requests no fields that are part of the activation state,
then the active connections are ignored. For example with `nmcli
-f UUID,NAME connection show`. In that case, each profile is listed only
once.
On the other hand, with `nmcli -g UUID,NAME,DEVICE connection show` the
user again requested also to see the activation state, and a profile can
appear multiple times.
To handle that, we need to consider which fields were requested.
There was a bug where the "ACTIVE" field was not treated as part of the
activation state. That results in `nmcli -f UUID,NAME,ACTIVE connection
show` always returning "no". Fix that.

There are some Debian-supported architectures where `max_align_t` is
only aligned to 4-bytes. This is unfortunate and breaks our assumptions.
While glibc-malloc still guarantees 8 / 16 bytes alignment, this is not
necessarily guaranteed by the C standard (and alternative allocators
will deviate (see jemalloc, for instance)).
Fortunately, we only need 2 flags, so a 4-byte alignment is more than
enough.
