NetworkManager can't control the name of the PPP interface name
created by pppd; so it has to wait for the interface to appear and
then rename it. This happens in nm_device_take_over_link() called by
nm-device-ppp.c:ppp_ifindex_set() when pppd tells NM the ifindex of
the interface that was created.
However, sometimes the initial interface name is already correct, for
example when the connection.interface-name is ppp0 and this is the
first PPP interface created.
When this happens, nm_device_update_from_platform_link() is called on
the NMDevicePPP and it sets the device ifindex. Later, when pppd
notifies NM, nm_device_take_over_link() fails because the ifindex is
already set:
nm_device_take_over_link: assertion 'priv->ifindex <= 0' failed
Make nm_device_take_over_link() more robust to cope with this
situation.

The output of nm_utils_format_variant_attributes() must be accepted by
nm_utils_parse_variant_attributes(), producing the initial attributes.
The latter has a special handling of some attributes, depending on the
input NMVariantAttributeSpec list. For example, if the
NMVariantAttributeSpec is a boolean with the 'no_value' flag, the
parser doesn't look for a value.
Pass the NMVariantAttributeSpec list to the format function so that it
can behave in the same way as the parse one.
Support the creation of parameterless 'prio' qdiscs. The kernel needs
a TCA_OPTIONS attribute initialized with default values. We currently
don't support modifying the qdisc parameters.
There is the team of nm_auto*, nm_clear_pointer() and nm_steal_pointer().
These goes nicely together so that an autovariable owns a resource,
to free it (clear) and to transfer ownership (steal).
We have these also in glib, but we certainly also need it if we don't
have glib because that very much goes together with nm_auto*. Add it.
Previously, we did not have a hard dependency on C99. Nowadays, we
actually build against C11, so we have <stdbool.h>. These definitions
are no longer necessary nor do we care about building against plain
C89.
For a long time already we build with gnu11/C11. We thus rely on having
<stdbool.h> around, which is C99. Use it.
Also fix "nm-std-aux.h" to not use TRUE/FALSE glib defines.
We redefine _G_BOOLEAN_EXPR(), so let it use NM_BOOLEAN_EXPR().
Also, we use G_LIKELY() (and thus NM_BOOLEAN_EXPR()) inside nm_assert(),
and we use nm_assert() in some macros. To be able to nest nm_assert()
calls, we need to create unique variable names for NM_BOOLEAN_EXPR().
Userspace cannot add IPv6 routes with metric 0. Trying to do that, will
be coerced by kernel to route metric 1024. For IPv4 this is different,
and metric zero is commonly allowed.
However, kernel itself can add IPv6 routes with metric zero:
# ip -6 route show table local
local fe80::2029:c7ff:fec9:698a dev v proto kernel metric 0 pref medium
That means, we must not treat route metric zero special for most cases.
Only, when we want to add routes (based on user configuration), we must
coerce a route metric of zero to 1024.

Having assertion macros that are disabled by default, is not
only useful for our glib code, but should also be available
for nm-std-aux. Move the macros.
nm_device_cleanup() can be called when the device no longer has an
ifindex. In such case, don't try to reset the MAC address as that
would lead to an assertion failure.
We already set the MAC of OVS interfaces in the ovsdb. Unfortunately,
vswitchd doesn't create the interface with the given MAC from the
beginning, but first creates it with a random MAC and then changes it.
This causes a race condition: as soon as NM sees the new link, it
starts IP configuration on it and (possibly later) vswitchd will
change the MAC.
To avoid this, also set the desired MAC via netlink before starting IP
configuration.

When a user creates a ovs-interface with the same name of the parent
ovs-bridge, openvswitch considers the interface as the "local
interface" [1] and assigns the MAC address of the bridge to the
interface [2].
This is confusing for users, as the cloned MAC property is ignored in
some cases, depending on the ovs-interface name.
Instead, detect when the interface is local and set the MAC from the
ovs-interface connection in the bridge table.

Don't try to open /run/NetworkManager/initrd when called with
--stdout, but instead write the hostname to the standard output.

There is a bug when parsing a BOOTIF= without any existing
connection. The generated connection doesn't have wired setting and
later we try to access it:
# nm-initrd-generator --stdout -- BOOTIF=01-50-50-00-9f-21-21
(nm-initrd-generator:1546): libnm-CRITICAL **: ((libnm-core/nm-setting-wired.c:205)): assertion '<dropped>' failed
(nm-initrd-generator:1546): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_set: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

First I wanted to fix
test:ERROR:../src/ndisc/tests/test-ndisc-fake.c:373:test_preference_changed_cb: assertion failed (_a->timestamp == (data->timestamp1 + 3)): (9 == 10)
but that leads to a different failure:
test:ERROR:../src/ndisc/tests/test-ndisc-fake.c:375:test_preference_changed_cb: assertion failed (_a->lifetime == (9)): (10 == 9)
Instead, the start and end times must match exact (in their duration),
we only allow them to be shifted by up to one second.
Fixes: 8209095ee1 ('ndisc/tests: relax the assertion in "test-ndisc-fake.c"')
$ nmcli -f GENERAL.HWADDR device show ovsport0

This is an API change of nmcli.
nm_http_client_poll_get_finish() can only either succeed (returning TRUE
and setting no GError), or failing (returning FALSE and setting GError).
Checking for both is redundant and unnecessary.
Since commit 3bd30f6064 ('nmcs: add error message when a HTTP request times
out'), the case where polling returns %FALSE without an error is no
longer possible. This is preferable, because it follows a consistent
API where a function clearly fails or succeeds.
So, checking for the error code and the returned boolean is redundant and
unnecessary.
nm_utils_parse_next_line() operates on the response buffer obtained
from NMHttpClient. We own this buffer, and we also can rely on the fact
that the buffer has a trailing NUL byte after the data.
There is no need to copy the string to a GString, just use it directly.
