test-client: fix race in test_monitor() test
During srv_shutdown() we do

  p.stdin.close()
  p.kill()

Usually, the kill wins and the service just drops off the bus:

  libnm-dbus[3201919]: <debug> [438617.45324] nmclient[40f7938626f3f5f0]: name owner changed: ":1.1" -> (null)
  libnm-dbus[3201919]: <debug> [438617.45332] nmclient[40f7938626f3f5f0]: release all

at which point all objects in NMClient get destroyed and the signals get
emitted in the order:

  libnm-dbus[3201919]: <trace> [438617.45574] nmclient[40f7938626f3f5f0]: [nmclient] emit "device-removed" signal for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/1

  nmcli[out]: con-1: connection profile removed

However, sometimes the stub service notices that stdin was closed and it
sends signals about shutting down:

test-client: randomly kill or close the stub test service
The test stub service watches stdin, and if it gets closed the service
will shut down. Note that the service does not catch any signals, so
sending a signal will kill the service right away.

The previous code first closed stdin, and then killed the process.
That can result in different outcomes on D-Bus. Usually the signal
gets received first, and the test service just drops off the bus.
Sometimes it notices the closing of stdin and shuts actively down.

That can make a difference, especially for the test_monitor() test which
runs the monitor while stopping the service.

We could just always kill the stub service to get consistent behavior.
However, that doesn't seem very useful. Instead, randomize the behavior
to easier see how the behavior differs.

test-client: pass LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG to nmcli
For debugging libnm, LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG can be very useful.

As the tests compare stdout/stderr from nmcli with expected output, just
enabling it will break the tests. However, in combination with
LIBNM_CLIENT_DEBUG_FILE this can be very useful.

Preserve and pass on the environment variables, if set.

test-client: cleanup imports
Sort imports by name. Also avoid "from signal import SIGINT". I find
it ugly to import names in the current namespace. "SIGINT" should be
refered to by its full name, including the package/namespace.

test-client: add valgrind support for call_nmcli_pexpect() tests
This will allow to find some memory leaks and memory corruptions.

The bulk of the nmcli calls are still not hooked up with valgrind.
Since we call nmcli a thousand time, we could not just run valgrind with
all of them. We would have instead to enable it randomly. This is
more work.

test-client: drop unused NmTestBase base class
The base class is not used, and it's not clear that it would be useful.
Sure, we could extend "test-client.py" will various non-nmcli tests. That
might make sense. And then it might make sense to have more unit test classes.
So far, we don't need that. Drop the unused base class NmTestBase.

tests/client: increase timeout for nmcli command
Under normal circumstances, the timeout is not supposed to be hit.
I see it hit on gitlab-ci. Was that because the machine was very
busy? It's hard to say whether there was a legitimate problem here,
and more importantly, what that problem was.

Try to increase the timeout. If there is a real problem, we probably
will still hit the timeout.

aaa9a9cd25 libnm/client: don't reset properties when interface goes away
In case the D-Bus interfaces start dropping off (typically all off them go
one by one when the object is being deleted), don't reset all the properties.

In particular, keep most properties around, only tear down "o" and "ao",
so that the object dependencies get torn down, but we still get enough
properties around to identify what the dead object was its heyday.

One example of where this is not good is when the device-removed signal
is emmitted, the device no longer has the ifname:

  $ nmcli monitor
  <quit NetworkManager>
  (null): device removed
  (null): device removed
  ...

all: make "ipv6.addr-gen-mode" configurable by global default
It can be useful to choose a different "ipv6.addr-gen-mode". And it can be
useful to override the default for a set of profiles.

For example, in cloud or in a data center, stable-privacy might not be
the best choice. Add a mechanism to override the default via global defaults
in NetworkManager.conf:

  # /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/90-ipv6-addr-gen-mode-override.conf
  [connection-90-ipv6-addr-gen-mode-override]
  match-device=type:ethernet
  ipv6.addr-gen-mode=0

"ipv6.addr-gen-mode" is a special property, because its default depends on
the component that configures the profile.

- when read from disk (keyfile and ifcfg-rh), a missing addr-gen-mode
  key means to default to "eui64".
- when configured via D-Bus, a missing addr-gen-mode property means to
  default to "stable-privacy".
- libnm's ip6-config::addr-gen-mode property defaults to
  "stable-privacy".
- when some tool creates a profile, they either can explicitly
  set the mode, or they get the default of the underlying mechanisms
  above.

  - nm-initrd-generator explicitly sets "eui64" for profiles it creates.
  - nmcli doesn' explicitly set it, but inherits the default form
    libnm's ip6-config::addr-gen-mode.
  - when NM creates a auto-default-connection for ethernet ("Wired connection 1"),
    it inherits the default from libnm's ip6-config::addr-gen-mode.

Global connection defaults only take effect when the per-profile
value is set to a special default/unset value. To account for the
different cases above, we add two such special values: "default" and
"default-or-eui64". That's something we didn't do before, but it seams
useful and easy to understand.

Also, this neatly expresses the current behaviors we already have. E.g.
if you don't specify the "addr-gen-mode" in a keyfile, "default-or-eui64"
is a pretty clear thing.

Note that usually we cannot change default values, in particular not for
libnm's properties. That is because we don't serialize the default
values to D-Bus/keyfile, so if we change the default, we change
behavior. Here we change from "stable-privacy" to "default" and
from "eui64" to "default-or-eui64". That means, the user only experiences
a change in behavior, if they have a ".conf" file that overrides the default.

87eb61c864 libnm: support wait-activation-delay property
The property wait-activation-delay will delay the activation of an
interface the specified amount of milliseconds. Please notice that it
could be delayed some milliseconds more due to other events in
NetworkManager.

This could be used in multiple scenarios where the user needs to define
an arbitrary delay e.g LACP bond configure where the LACP negotiation
takes a few seconds and traffic is not allowed, so they would like to
use nm-online and a setting configured with this new property to wait
some seconds. Therefore, when nm-online is finished, LACP bond should be
ready to receive traffic.

The delay will happen right before the device is ready to be activated.

settings: add ipv4.link-local flag
Introduction of a new setting ipv4.link-local, which enables
link-local IP addresses concurrently with other IP address assignment
implementations such as dhcp or manually.
No way is implemented to obtain a link-local address as a fallback when
dhcp does not respond (as dhcpd does, for example). This could be be
added later.

To maintain backward compatibility with ipv4.method ipv4.link-local has
lower priority than ipv4.method. This results in:
* method=link-local overrules link-local=disabled
* method=disabled overrules link-local=enabled

Furthermore, link-local=auto means that method defines whether
link-local is enabled or disabled:
* method=link-local --> link-local=enabled
* else --> link-local=disabled

The upside is, that this implementation requires no normalization.
Normalization is confusing to implement, because to get it really
right, we probably should support normalizing link-local based on
method, but also vice versa. And since the method affects how other
properties validate/normalize, it's hard to normalize that one, so that
the result makes sense. Normalization is also often not great to the
user, because it basically means to modify the profile based on other
settings.

The downside is that the auto flag becomes API and exists because
we need backward compatibility with ipv4.method.
We would never add this flag, if we would redesign "ipv4.method"
(by replacing by per-method-specific settings).

Defining a default setting for ipv4.link-local in the global
configuration is also supported.
The default setting for the new property can be "default", since old
users upgrading to a new version that supports ipv4.link-local will not
have configured the global default in NetworkManager.conf. Therefore,
they will always use the expected "auto" default unless they change
their configuration.

clients/tests: workaround unexpected output for offline test
This test calls "nmcli g" with a bogus D-Bus bus address. We expect
a failure on stderr.

On alpine:latest, the error however looks slightly different:
  b'size: 258\nlocation: src/tests/client/test-client.py:test_offline()/1\ncmd: $NMCLI g\nlang: C\nreturncode: 1\nstderr: 136 bytes\n>>>\nError: Could not create NMClient object: Key/Value pair 0, *invalid*, in address element *very:invalid* does not contain an equal sign.\n\n<<<\n'
On ubuntu:16.04 and debian:9 we got:
  b"size: 258\nlocation: src/tests/client/test-client.py:test_offline()/1\ncmd: $NMCLI g\nlang: C\nreturncode: 1\nstderr: 136 bytes\n>>>\nError: Could not create NMClient object: Key/Value pair 0, 'invalid', in address element 'very:invalid' does not contain an equal sign.\n\n<<<\n"
On fedora and most recent systemd we got:
  b'size: 258\nlocation: src/tests/client/test-client.py:test_offline()/1\ncmd: $NMCLI g\nlang: C\nreturncode: 1\nstderr: 136 bytes\n>>>\nError: Could not create NMClient object: Key/Value pair 0, ?invalid?, in address element ?very:invalid? does not contain an equal sign.\n\n<<<\n'

This depends on the glib version (whether to print `%s', '%s', or “%s”).
Also, as we run the application with lang=C, so that libc (I think)
replaces Unicode with an ASCII character. Here musl and glibc behave
differently.

Workaround by replace the unexpected text.

clients/tests: rework Util.replace_text() to uniformly accept a callable
Let the replace_arr parameter of Util.replace_text() only contain
callables, and don't special case the argument. Previously, we
either expected a regex or a 2-tuple, and the code would check
each explicitly.

Aside that the tuples are hard to follow, it also makes
Util.replace_text() strongly tied to those types. By instead accepting
and arbitrary function, each element can implement its own replacement.

Also, make text that was replaced by regex atomic. Meaning, if we
first match (and replace) a certain part of the text with the regex,
then the replacement cannot be split again. This is done by returning
a 1-tuple from the replace function.

97857dbacd client/test: add test for --offline behavior
Currently, only "add" and negative cases are tested. Testing "modify"
would require an ability to provide input. Perhaps at some later point.

e733357c91 client/test: add @nm_test_no_dbus decorator
Same as @nm_test, apart from that it doesn't spawn the mock D-Bus
service.

9108f8ecfc client/test: allow overriding all environment variables
Set extra variables after the pre-defined ones have been set. This
allows overriding then.

In particular, this allows overriding DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS so that
the test can check the behavior of the client is correct when it's set
to some garbage.

beebde9e56 client/test: allow matching and replacing regex-es in nmcli output
This allows us to sanitize unpredictable UUIDs in client output in
--offline mode (where we can't just ask the mock service about the
actual UUID).

cb5960cef7 all: add a new ipv{4,6}.required-timeout property
Add a new property to specify the minimum time interval in
milliseconds for which dynamic IP configuration should be tried before
the connection succeeds.

This property is useful for example if both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled
and are allowed to fail. Normally the connection succeeds as soon as
one of the two address families completes; by setting a required
timeout for e.g. IPv4, one can ensure that even if IP6 succeeds
earlier than IPv4, NetworkManager waits some time for IPv4 before the
connection becomes active.

cli: handle empty/unset values for "gsm.apn" property
Most string properties can be either %NULL (unset) or a non-empty
string.

For a few properties, like "gsm.apn", also the empty word is a valid
value. That makes it problematic to use from nmcli, because

  nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" gsm.apn ""

means to reset the default (NULL). How to configure the empty word?
For the APN, "" has a specific meaning, distinct from NULL, so we
need to be able to represent that.

The other problem with nmcli is that

  nmcli -g gsm.apn connection show "$PROFILE"

is supposed to give you a value that you an set again, like

  X="$(nmcli -g gsm.apn connection show "$PROFILE"; echo x)"
  nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE2" gsm.apn "${X%$'\n'x}"

but for %NULL and "" the output would be the same.

The "solution" to that is interpreting "" as NULL (like we always did)
and a non-empty string that contains all whitespace, like a string with
one whitespace less. This way, all values can be expressed.

Note that in case of "gsm.apn", the string is anyway internally
normalized with g_strstrip(), so a string with all whitespace was
not expressable.

cli/tests: add unit test for checking setting/getting of "gsm.apn"
"gsm.apn" is special, because it can both be %NULL and "".

Add a test for how we handle that.

d946aa0c50 wired-setting: add support to accept-all-mac-addresses
This patch is introducing the wired setting accept-all-mac-addresses
property. The value corresponds to the kernel flag IFF_PROMISC.

When accept-all-mac-address is enabled, the interface will accept all
the packets without checking the destination mac address.
