d984b2ce4a shared: move most of "shared/nm-utils" to "shared/nm-glib-aux"
From the files under "shared/nm-utils" we build an internal library
that provides glib-based helper utilities.

Move the files of that basic library to a new subdirectory
"shared/nm-glib-aux" and rename the helper library "libnm-core-base.la"
to "libnm-glib-aux.la".

Reasons:

 - the name "utils" is overused in our code-base. Everything's an
   "utils". Give this thing a more distinct name.

 - there were additional files under "shared/nm-utils", which are not
   part of this internal library "libnm-utils-base.la". All the files
   that are part of this library should be together in the same
   directory, but files that are not, should not be there.

 - the new name should better convey what this library is and what is isn't:
   it's a set of utilities and helper functions that extend glib with
   funcitonality that we commonly need.

There are still some files left under "shared/nm-utils". They have less
a unifying propose to be in their own directory, so I leave them there
for now. But at least they are separate from "shared/nm-glib-aux",
which has a very clear purpose.

32073288e8 shared: thread safe initialization of nm_utils_get_monotonic_timestamp*()
nm_utils_get_monotonic_timestamp*() inherrently use static data. Let's
initialize it in a thread safe manner.

nm_utils_get_monotonic_timestamp*() are a fundamental utility function
that should work correctly in all cases. Such a low level function should
be thread safe.

a6add8175a shared: move nm_utils_get_monotonic_timestamp*() to shared/nm-utils.
This is independent functionality that only depends on linux API
and glib.

Note how "nm-logging" uses this for getting the timestamps. This
makes "nm-logging.c" itself dependen on "src/nm-core-utils.c",
for little reason.
