There are some tests located in different directories which are
using the same name. To avoid any confussion a prefix was used to
name the test and the target.
This patch uses the prefix just for the target, to avoid any
collision that may happen, and uses the `test-` pattern as the
name.

generate-settings-docs.py script is used to generate the
`nm-settings-docs.xml` and `nm-property-docs.xml` files. However,
to generate these files properly, the path where `libnm` shared
library is built must be passed to the script.
This patch uses the recently added `--lib-path` parameter to
pass the `libnm`'s built directory, which allows the proper
generation of the files in meson.

generate-settings-docs.py script uses the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to
prepend directories to the library search path, which is useful to
load a just built libnm shared library, when generating the
`nm-settings-docs.xml` and `nm-property-docs.xml` files.
However, this is a problem for meson, which is not able to set
environment variables when executing the script.
This patch adds a new optional parameter, `-l` or `--lib-path` that
can be used to pass different paths to be prepended without using
the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment, which can still be used.

The team API was backported to nm-1-10 branch.
It will be released both as 1.12.0 and 1.10.2.
To ensure the upgrade path from 1.10.2+ to 1.12+ works, the symbols
in libnm must be present on both versions.
Usually, we would duplicate the symbols on master via
NM_BACKPORT_SYMBOL() macro.
However, as we are sure that we will release 1.10.2 before 1.12.0,
we can just update the linker version of these symbols. So, although
the symbols will be first released on major release 1.12.0, their linker
version tag is libnm_1_10_2, to ease upgrade and to avoid duplicating the
symbols.
Team allows to specify multiple link watchers for each link.
Define a link watcher object in order to allow to specify multiple ones
for each Team configuration.
The update2 API was backported to nm-1-10 branch, with commit

- only add an async version. I think sync requests are fundamentally flawed
because they mess up the order of D-Bus messages. Hence, also don't
call the function *_async(), like we do for other functions. As there
is only the async form, it doesn't have a suffix.
- Don't accept a NMConnection as @settings argument, but a GVariant.
In general, keep the libnm API closer to the D-Bus API and don't hide
the underlying function with a less powerful form. The user still can
conveniently call the function with
nm_remote_connection_update2 (connection,
nm_connection_to_dbus (NM_CONNECTION (connection),
NM_CONNECTION_SERIALIZE_ALL),
save_to_disk
? NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_TO_DISK
: NM_SETTINGS_UPDATE2_FLAG_IN_MEMORY,
NULL,
cancellable,
callback,
user_data);
I believe the parts of libnm that invoke D-Bus methods, should be
close to the D-Bus API. Not like nm_remote_connection_commit_changes()
which has no corresponding D-Bus method.
We already have Update(), UpdateUnsaved() and Save(), which serve
similar purposes. We will need a form of update with another argument.
Most notably, to block autoconnect while doing the update.
Other use cases could be to prevent reapplying connection.zone and
connection.metered, to to reapply all changes.
Instead of adding a specific update function that only serves that
new use-case, add a extensible Update2() function. It can be extended
to cope with future variants of update.
It's rather limiting that the only API to access *all* keys
is nm_setting_vpn_foreach_data_item() and nm_setting_vpn_foreach_secret().
API like nm_setting_vpn_get_num_secrets() is not useful, at least as
long as you cannot access the item by index.
We also do this for libnm and libnm-core, where it causes visible changes
in behavior. But if somebody would rely on the hashing implementation
for hash tables, it would be seriously flawed.

GHashTable optimizes a NULL equality function to use direct pointer
comparison. That saves the overhead of calling g_direct_equal().
This is also documented behavior for g_hash_table_new().
While at it, also don't pass g_direct_hash() but use the default
of %NULL. The behavior is the same, but consistently don't use
g_direct_hash().
Register empty "NMClient" and "NetworkManager" GIR modules as soon as libnm is
loaded witch gnome-introspection. This prevents the real modules from being
loaded because they would in turn load libnm-glib and abort() and crash.
In particular this prevents the GNOME shell from crashing with
libnm-glib abort and allows gracefully disabling the extensions which
use the obsolete library.
Test:
$ cat test.js
const NM = imports.gi.NM;
print (NM.SecretAgentGetSecretsFlags.ALLOW_INTERACTION);
const NMClient = imports.gi.NMClient;
print (NMClient.SecretAgentGetSecretsFlags.ALLOW_INTERACTION);

The number of authentication retires is useful also for passwords aside
802-1x settings. For example, src/devices/wifi/nm-device-wifi.c also has
a retry counter and uses a hard-coded value of 3.
Move the setting, so that it can be used in general. Although it is still
not implemented for other settings.
This is an API and ABI break.
There is no API to get all settings. You can only ask for
settings explicitly, but that requires you to probe for them
and know which ones may exist.
The alternative API might be nm_connection_for_each_setting_value(),
but that only iterates over settings' properties. If a setting has no
properties, it is ignored.
