Add a new device state reason code for unsupported IP method. It is
returned, for example, when users select manual IP configuration for
WWAN connections:
# nmcli connection mod Gsm ipv4.method manual ipv4.address 1.2.3.4/32
# nmcli connection up Gsm
Error: Connection activation failed: The selected IP method is not
supported
compared to the old:
Error: Connection activation failed: IP configuration could not be
reserved (no available address, timeout, etc.)
Note that we could instead fail the connection validation if the
method is not supported by the connection type, but adding such
limitation now could make existing connections invalid.

Makes sense in order for the user to know that they're actually typing
the password (edited just to illustrate the point, the actual output was
shamefully messy and perhaps needs fixing too):
$ nmcli c up Wrathmosphere
Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'Wrathmosphere'.
Password (802-1x.password): *********
Having it in libnm doesn't make any sense and prevents using it for more
internal functionality.
Too bad nm_utils_wifi_strength_bars() is already a public API.
No problem -- replace it with a compatible yet dumber equivalent.
History is probably even not useful at all outside the interactive edit
mode, but that is another story. This just avoids awkward surprises,
such as:

Source files for enum types are generated by passing segments of the
source code of the files to the `glib-mkenums` command.
This patch removes those parameters where source code is used from
meson build files by moving those segmeents to template files.

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.

In most cases, it copies the entire strv needlessly.
We can do better.
Also, the max_tokens argument is handled wrongly (albeit
not used anywhere anymore).
nmc_strsplit_set() handles max_token wrong. It cannot call
g_strsplit_set() with max_token first, and then split empty
words. You cannot use g_strsplit_set() to achieve what
nmc_strsplit_set() wants to do, unless you first split all
tokens, then them construct them together again -- thereby
loosing the delimiters.
Anyway, there are just a few caller that do essentially the same.
Refactor the code to not use nmc_strsplit_set().
nmc_strsplit_set()'s max_token argument is broken,
because it *first* calls g_strsplit_set() and then removes
empty tokens. It wasn't an issue, because DEFINE_SETTER_PRIV_KEY()
would first already remove leading spaces, and who uses multiple
spaces anyway...
Anyway, refactor DEFINE_SETTER_PRIV_KEY() to not use it.
Probably not critical, because it will still include
the terminating NULL, and just continue to fill the
temporary buffer with static addresses.

$ nmcli con add type wifi ifname wlan0 \
wifi-sec.key-mgmt none \
wifi-sec.wep-key0 $ascii_key \
ssid <TAB>
completes the line with:
"Info:\ WEP\ key\ is\ guessed\ to\ be\ of\ '2\ \(passphrase\)'"
The environment warning function should not emit warning when
completing arguments.
Commit 6a4af482f0 ("nmtui: always create ethernet settings for VLAN
and wireless security for wifi.") changed nmtui to always add the
wireless security setting to the new connection, but without
initializing it. This leads to a crash that was fixed in 40fcf67a84
("tui: fix crash creating Wi-Fi connection").
There is an additional bug: connections without authentication can't
be saved because the wireless security setting has uninitialized
fields.
To fix this, revert both patches (the first partially) because the
previous code did the right thing as it added the setting only when
needed.

$ nmcli connection down p

Don't do completion when not requested.
We also do this for libnm, where it causes visible changes
in behavior. But if somebody would rely on the hashing implementation
for hash tables, it would be seriously flawed.
Next we will use siphash24() instead of the glib version g_direct_hash() or
g_str_hash(). Hence, the "nm-utils/nm-hash-utils.h" header becomes very
fundamental and will be needed basically everywhere.
Instead of requiring the users to include them, let it be included via
"nm-default.h" header.
Change the activation procedure for connections that require secrets
in the following way:
- nmcli creates a secret-agent and leaves it disabled so that
incoming requests are queued
- nmcli calls ActivateConnection()
- when the method returns success, the secret-agent gets enabled and
all queued requests are processed
When the user activates a connection which is already auto-activating,
NM will deactivate the current active-connection and will call
CancelGetSecrets() for it before the new ActivateConnection()
returns. In this way, when the secret-agent is enabled by nmcli, we
have the guarantee that there aren't any queued requests for
the deactivating connections.

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.
