Instead of having 3 implementations for setting an int (int, uint, int64), combine
them. Also, make them more configurable by allowing to specify min/max/base, outside
of GParamSpec.
This makes it a lot more convenient to deal with long outputs (such as
"nmcli c show id ...").
The implementation is essentially jacked from systemd. The bugs are
mine.
This basically uses "wifi" in place of "802-11-wireless" and analogously
for other setting types that have aliases unless a --terse option was
specified.
Apart from looking nicer it makes the default output less wide,
hopefully avoiding line breaks on 80 column terminals in basic use
cases.
Now that routes can include optional attributes, print the expected
syntax in case of parsing failure.
$ nmcli connection modify dummy ipv4.routes a
Error: failed to modify ipv4.routes: invalid route: Invalid IPv4
address 'a'. The valid syntax is: 'ip[/prefix] [next-hop] [metric]
[attribute=val]... [,ip[/prefix] ...]'.
Before refactoring nmcli recently, field names were marked for translation.
Note that for the property names, marking them had no effect as only
plain strings can be marked with N_().
Note how --fields are also an input argument. The input should be
independent of the locale and not translated. Likewise, when printing
the header names, they should not be translated to match the --fields
option.
$ LANG=de_DE.utf8 nmcli --fields GENERAL.DEVICE device show enp0s25
GENERAL.GERÄT: enp0s25
Drop the translation marks.
'nmcli connection show <con_id1> --show-secrets'
secrets were not shown.
'nmcli connection show <con_id1> --show-secrets <con_id2>'
secrets were shown only for connection ids following the
"--show-secrets" option (so only for 'con_id2').
Fix these behaviors showing secrets for all connections also
if the "--show-secrets" option is put after the connection ids.
Ensure we call G_IS_ENUM_CLASS() or G_IS_FLAGS_CLASS() only on classed
types.

If the D-Bus call to DeactivateConnection() fails, don't wait for the
connection to change state because this is not going to
happen. Instead, notify the user of the error and, if necessary, wait
for remaining connections to be deactivated.

That allows for the property list to contain derived
property types. Also, the list can be directly passed
off as a "const NMMetaAbstractInfo *const*" list.
