Previously, we would require a @self argument and the @call_id in
nm_act_request_cancel_secrets(), although the @call_id already has
a pointer to @self.
In principle that is not necessary, but it makes the API a bit
more robust as you need to care about the lifetime of the @req
as well.
However it is a bit inconvenient, because it requires that caller to
track both the activation request and the call-id.
Now, allow nm_act_request_get_secrets() to instruct the call-id to
take an additional reference to @self. Later on, we would allow to omit
the argument during cancelling. We only allow this, if the call-id
takes a reference to @self.
Moving the PPP manager to a separate plugin that is loaded when needed
has the advantage of slightly reducing memory footprint and makes it
possible to install the PPP support only where needed.

This makes it easier to install the files with proper names.
Also, it makes the makefile rules slightly simpler.
Lastly, the documentation is now generated into docs/api, which makes it
possible to get rid of the awkward relative file names in docbook.
Keep the include paths clean and separate. We use directories to group source
files together. That makes sense (I guess), but then we should use this
grouping also when including files. Thus require to #include files with their
path relative to "src/".
Also, we build various artifacts from the "src/" tree. Instead of having
individual CFLAGS for each artifact in Makefile.am, the CFLAGS should be
unified. Previously, the CFLAGS for each artifact differ and are inconsistent
in which paths they add to the search path. Fix the inconsistency by just
don't add the paths at all.
