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.
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()'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.
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.
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.
Replace the usage of g_str_hash() with our own nm_str_hash().
GLib's g_str_hash() uses djb2 hashing function, just like we
do at the moment. The only difference is, that we use a diffrent
seed value.
Note, that we initialize the hash seed with random data (by calling
getrandom() or reading /dev/urandom). That is a change compared to
before.
This change of the hashing function and accessing the random pool
might be undesired for libnm/libnm-core. Hence, the change is not
done there as it possibly changes behavior for public API. Maybe
we should do that later though.
At this point, there isn't much of a change. This patch becomes
interesting, if we decide to use a different hashing algorithm.
