When subclassing a GObject type, the class and object structs
must be available and defined in the header.
For libnm, and in particular for NMSetting classes, we don't want
users to subclass NMSetting. It also doesn't work, because libnm
has internal code that is necessary to hook up the NMSetting class.
You cannot define your own type and make it work together with
libnm.
Having the structs in public headers limits what we can do with them.
For example, we could embed the private data directly in the structures
and avoid the additional indirection.
This is an API break, but for something that most likely nobody cares
about. Or better, nobody should care about. API is not what is
accidentally defined in a header, API was the library provides to
meaningfully use. Subclassing these types is not meaningful and was
only accidentally possible so far.
Only hide the structs for now. More cleanup is possible later. We shall
however aim to keep the padding and struct layout to not also break ABI.
The new function resolve an address via DNS, first by using
systemd-resolved (disabling synthesized results) and then by spawning
the daemon helper.
Trying systemd-resolved via D-Bus before spawning the helper is
important to get a correct result. Suppose that resolv.conf points to
the local stub listener at 127.0.0.53; if NM only spawns the helper,
the helper will query the local systemd-resolved which could return a
synthesized result.
Therefore, we first query systemd-resolved with NO_SYNTHESIZE and
then, in case of error, we spawn the helper.

Now that we have nm_dns_systemd_resolved_resolve_address(), we also
need a way to obtain a reference to the plugin.
(cherry picked from commit 7285bc56a9)
Implement a new operation to resolve the hostname from an
address. Note the call to __nss_configure_lookup("hosts", "dns"): this
configures the glibc Name Service Switch (NSS) to only use DNS,
bypassing other modules that might be configured in
/etc/nsswitch.conf. Other modules like 'myhostname' or 'resolve' can
return synthesized names, while we are only interested in real DNS
results.

'v_name' must be freed. Pass ownership to the result element.

This setting can't be handled IWD (e.g. during autoactivations performed
by IWD) and although for manual activations NM will probably check it,
there's no reason for the IWD backend to restrict new profiles to one
interface plus when running IWD the udev permanent interface naming is
likely to be broken.

It's hard to understand what "tools/generate-docs-nm-settings-docs-merge.py"
does. Add dbg() statements that are all NOP by default. But the user can
easily patch the code to print what is happening. This is only for
debugging the script.
The user really must not treat UuidData.bin as a NUL terminated string.
The _nul_sentinel is not necessary. And if by chance the user makes this
fatal mistake, then UuidData.str will still be there to NUL terminate the
buffer, the content is garbage either way.
Remove the sentinel.
nm_uuid_generate_from_string*() accepts an optional namespace parameter,
to seed the hashing. This previously was a UUID in string format, so it
first had to be parsed.
Rework the code to pass a NMUuid instance that can be used directly.
Also, as the type_args parameter is always of the same type, change
the argument from a void pointer to "const NMUuid *" pointer.
