Revert the DEVICE and suffix bits for the connection name; there's
a few problems with this. It adds the DEVICE value for connections
regardless of what type they, even in cases where it's not hugely
useful (ie basic wired). We used to do this, but stopped doing it
because it has zero relevance to a large number of users. Instead,
the UI itself should do this where appropriate. That probably means
that 'nmcli' and other tools should give more information about
the components of a connection (like a slave device's master) and
GUI tools would show that in detailed connection information but
not in the at-a-glance status or tooltips. Second, if more
more advanced users wish this information to show up in the name
they can always set the name themselves, or name the ifcfg file
something like "ifcfg-bond1-slave-of-eth0" too.
nm_utils_hwaddr_ntoa() and nm_utils_hwaddr_aton() are like
ether_ntoa()/ether_aton(), but handle IPoIB too.
nm_utils_hwaddr_atoba() is like _aton() but returns a GByteArray,
since that's what's wanted in many places.
Also remove nm_ether_ntop() and replace uses of it with
nm_utils_hwaddr_ntoa().
Moves the logic of naming connections into its own function. Allows each
connection type to provide a "hard" prefix which will always be used.
Bonding uses this to prefix all bonding connections with "Bond".
If a DEVICE= line is available, append it to the end of connection name
for easier identification of the real device behind it.
Appends the suffix "[slave-of <MASTER>]" to all connections which are
configured as a slave of a bond.
Examples:
myName -> myName (eth0)
System eth0 -> System eth0
myName2 -> Bond myName2 (bond0)
System bond0 -> Bond bond0
myName -> myName (eth0) [slave-of bond0]
System eth0 -> System eth0 [slave-of bond0]

Adds a MASTER= directive to ifcfg-rh allowing a connection to define
itself as bonding slave.
Adds a connection property "master" which contains the in-kernel device
name or UUID of the master connection.
Adds a connection property "slave-type" which defines the type of slave
this connection represents. Currently this is only set by bonding but
eventually this will be used by VLAN and bridging.
Enforces that no bonding slave connection has any IPv4 or IPv6
configuration set.
Changes make_ip4_setting() to take a universal flag indicating whether
to allow disabling ip4 config or not and use it for both, ip6 and
bonding special case.

Introduced a new TYPE=bond for ifcfg-rh configuration files.
Alternatively BONDING_MASTER=yes can be specified instead of
setting the type explicitely to maintain backwards compatibility
with existing configuration files.
Bonding device files require a DEVICE= line to be present which
specifies the virtual bonding interface in the kernel. We do not
allow auto-generation of the name in order to keep confusion to
a minimum when reusing existing bonding interfaces.
The BONDING_OPTS= parameter can be used to specify various bonding
related options, such as:
- mode
- miimon
- updelay
- downdelay
- arp_interval
- arp_ip_target
By default, the NMSettingBond class uses a miimon value of 100 which
seems like a sensible default value for 99% of all configurations.
If this is not suitable, an arp_ip_target needs to be specified
manually.
A writer is not yet implemented.
Changes v2:
- renamed DeviceName property to InterfaceName
- moved code to validate device name to dev_valid_name() for future use

Even with the previous fix some cases were still undistinguishable. For example,SSID like '11;12;' is both valid an intlist and a string.
So this commit:
- escapes ';' character with '\' when writing, and removes '\' while reading
This clearly differentiates between intlist x strings.
- changes regex pattern to allow spaces before ';' in intlist format
Intlists have to end with a ';' since that's how they are written
out, and that's the only way we can actually distinguish between
intlist SSIDs and string SSIDs, really.
When connection was changed with the editor from WPA to WEP, KEY_MGMT was
not cleared. This resulted in infinite loop of ifcfg plugin under some
circumstances ("Available to all users" unchecked, I think).
The re-read connection was regarded as WPA and thus it differed from the
stored one.
NM already includes <linux/if.h> in some places, f.e. nm-netlink-monitor and
we can't mix usage of the two. Stick to using <linux/if.h> as it provides
additional flag definitions such as operational link state and link mode.

SSIDs don't want NULL termination, but some of the certificate code
checked for it. New-style plain strings would never be NULL
terminated (by accident) so fix that and make the code simpler too.

* When a connection name (ID) was changed via nm-connection-editor, a new file
path was created, but the old one was not removed. That resulted in two files
and in turn in duplicated connections.
* When two connections with the same name (ID) were present, e.g. files ABC and
ABC-70656842-98ac-4221-aa8b-0d4174770, and nm-connection-editor was used to
edit ABC-70656842-98ac-4221-aa8b-0d4174770, the operation failed.
