DNS manager always sets `priv->config_changed = TRUE` and overwrites
the "resolv.conf" file. To fix it, compare the new configuration with
the old configuration, if there is no change, skipping the update.

The "gateway" variable was redundant to best_default_route. It was
somewhat convenient to have, because the best_default_route pointer
might change, but the next hop might still be the same. So it was easy
to track whether it changes.
But it's also redundant information. By relying on best_default_route
alone we have all the information we need.
The IP configuration exported over D-Bus for a device has a "gateway"
property. If the device has a default route without a gateway, before
the L3 rework the gateway used to be exported as "0.0.0.0". That seems
useful to indicate that the device has a default route, but without
a next hop. Restore that behavior.

Completely rework IP configuration in the daemon. Use NML3Cfg as layer 3
manager for the IP configuration of an interface. Use NML3ConfigData as
pieces of configuration that the various components collect and
configure. NMDevice is managing most of the IP configuration at a higher
level, that is, it starts DHCP and other IP methods. Rework the state
handling there.
This is a huge rework of how NetworkManager daemon handles IP
configuration. Some fallout is to be expected.
It appears the patch deletes many lines of code. That is not accurate, because
you also have to count the files `src/core/nm-l3*`, which were unused previously.

Currently "src/" mostly contains the source code of the daemon.
I say mostly, because that is not true, there are also the device,
settings, wwan, ppp plugins, the initrd generator, the pppd and dhcp
helper, and probably more.
Also we have source code under libnm-core/, libnm/, clients/, and
shared/ directories. That is all confusing.
We should have one "src" directory, that contains subdirectories. Those
subdirectories should contain individual parts (libraries or
applications), that possibly have dependencies on other subdirectories.
There should be a flat hierarchy of directories under src/, which
contains individual modules.
As the name "src/" is already taken, that prevents any sensible
restructuring of the code.
As a first step, move "src/" to "src/core/". This gives space to
reorganize the code better by moving individual components into "src/".
For inspiration, look at systemd's "src/" directory.
