Use preprocessor constants in nm_logging_all_domains_to_string instead
of hard coded values for the special logging domain names.

The new setup phase goes like this:
- main()
- parse command line options
- logging is configured, targeting stdout/stderr
- ...other stuff...
- do or do not daemonize, depending on commandline option and config files
- Call openlog() - further log messages go to syslog (and potentially
stderr as well, if the -d option was specified so we use LOG_PERROR).
Basically, this allows us to log messages about config file parsing
and such, which *greatly* helps with debugging.
When run with --no-daemon, NM used to duplicate all syslog output to
stderr, for ease of debugging. But this meant it had to tell systemd
to ignore stderr, so you wouldn't get duplicated log entries. But that
meant we lost error messages that didn't go through nm_log. (eg,
g_warning()s and g_return_if_fail()s).
Fix this by making --no-daemon no longer duplicate syslog output to
stderr, and removing the "StandardError=null" from the systemd service
file. To get the old behavior, you can use --debug instead of
--no-daemon.

The list of log domains in the --log-domains documentation had gotten
out of date. Fix this by adding nm_logging_all_domain_to_string()
(and, for completeness, nm_logging_all_levels_to_string()), and use
those to fill in the help string.
Modern operating systems come with systemwide "crash catching"
facilities; for example, the Linux kernel can now pipe core dumps out
to userspace, and programs like "systemd-coredump" and "abrt" record
these.
In this model, it's actively counterproductive for individual
processes to catch SIGSEGV because:
1) Trying to unwind from inside the process after arbitrary
corruption is destined to fail.
2) It hides the fact that a crash happened at all - my OS test
framework wants to know if any process crashed, and I don't
want to guess by running regexps against /var/log/Xorg.0.log
or whatever.

It contains logging domains that are active by default. It allows users
to set default domains back easily (after they changed them).
And fix formatting of "} else if".
Rather than generating enum classes by hand (and complaining in each
file that "this should really be standard"), use glib-mkenums.
Unfortunately, we need a very new version of glib-mkenums in order to
deal with NM's naming conventions and to fix a few other bugs, so just
import that into the source tree temporarily.
Also, to simplify the use of glib-mkenums, import Makefile.glib from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/654395.
To avoid having to run glib-mkenums for every subdirectory of src/,
add a new "generated" directory, and put the generated enums files
there.
Finally, use Makefile.glib for marshallers too, and generate separate
ones for libnm-glib and NetworkManager.
On systems without backtrace suport (E.G. uClibc depending on config),
execinfo.h might not be available, breaking the build.
Fix it by only including it if enabled.

Instead of just with the old environment variable. This means we'll
log pppd debug output when the log level is changed via the D-Bus
interface now too.
There were two specific problems with the logging macros:
1) the existing varargs usage didn't allow for format string checking,
which is bad, since it could make logging segfault if the arguments
don't match the format string
2) it didn't allow logging usage without wrapping {}, ie this didn't work:
if (foo)
nm_log_dbg (...)
blah blah
Fix all that by using the varargs stuff correctly.
Previously the input would simply be printed, but if you're not
changing either the level or domains (ie sending "") then the
unchanged logging domains wouldn't be printed, only "".
By default most distros won't log debug messages to syslog; but we
want them logged when the user explicitly requests them via the logging
API and config options in NM. Half the point of doing more logging
was to make it easier for users to get logs out of NM, and having
to edit syslog configuration makes it all pointless.
Some stuff we build (the DHCP manager) gets built independently
so that we can use it for unit tests. For that, we need to build
the logging bits separately too, since the independent DHCP
library can't use them if they are embedded in NM.
