Support default value for setting 'ipv6.ip6-privacy' in
NetworkManager.conf.
If the global value is unset, preserve old behavior of looking into
/etc/sycctl.conf first. That behavior was introduced with commit
d376270bfe, since we support ip6-privacy
setting.
If the global value is set to "unknown", add a new fallback
that instead reads the runtime value from
"/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/use_tempaddr"
This seems more sensible behavior because we fallback to sysctl,
but instead of looking at static files in /etc, read /proc.
But to preserve the old behavior, we only do that when a global
value is configured at all.

The route-metric can be configured per connection via the
ipv4.route-metric and ipv6.route-metric fields. When the
value is left at -1 (the default), we would determine the
route-metric based on the device type (nm_device_get_priority()).
Extend that scheme by making the default value overwritable in
NetworkManager.conf.
Add a function to get a concise representation of the
device type.
libnm already has nm_device_get_type_description() for that
and it is shown by
nmcli -f GENERAL.TYPE device show
Reimplement that function for nm-core. Just take care that the
two implementations don't diverge.
Add the new configuration option 'assume-ipv6ll-only' which specifies
the devices for which NM will try to assume an existing IPv6LL-only
configuration.
The new default behavior is to ignore such configurations since IPv6LL
addresses are automatically assigned by the kernel when the device is
brought up and thus the presence of an IPv6LL address doesn't mean
that the device was configured by the administrator.
The previous behavior was to always assume IPv6LL-only configurations
but this often had the unwanted effect of preventing other on-disk
configurations to be activated. To preserve the old behavior the
option must be set to '*'.

Previously for assumed connections we would never configure a default route.
That has serious problems for example in the following two scenarios:
- the default-route might have a limited lifetime from a previous
SLAAC/accept_ra setting. In this case, once we assume the connection
we must also ensure that we extend the lifetime of the default
route.
- the gateway could be received via DHCP/RA and it might change.
If we ignore default-routes for assumed connection we miss that
change.
The problem is that the notion of "assumed connection" wrongly combines
two conflicting goals (related bug bgo#746440):
a) have an external device that is entirely unmanged by NM.
b) do a seamless takeover of a previously managed connection at start,
but still fully manage.
This patch changes the handling of default-routes towards meaning b).
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1224291
Since da708059da, we would pickup the
default-route as configured externally, except at those moments when
NM re-applys the IP configuration of the interface, such as during a
DHCP lease.
That allows the user to add/remove the default-route externally (iproute).
But still, at random times (DHCP lease), we will revert those external
changes.
Extend this, that if the connection is explicitly configured as
'never-default=yes', that it tells NM not to interfere with externally
added default-routes on this device. That means, NM will only remove
any preexisting default-routes when configuring the device a first
time.
On any later attempts, NM will assume whatever is configured there.
That makes sense because the user indicated not wanting NM to
manage a default-route on that device, so if something externally
added a default-route, assume that is what the user wants.
This only affects non-assumed connections, with 'never-default=yes'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1205405
Also accept a NULL connection in
nm_default_route_manager_ip4_connection_has_default_route() and
nm_default_route_manager_ip6_connection_has_default_route().
We need to know whether we can create interfaces of any given
NMDevice subclass or not. So don't rely on just the NMPlatformLink
for that information, because we won't have a platform link for
software devices before we create them.
When a connection had static IP addresses, an early event
from plaform would clear them from priv->con_ip4_config.
Fix that, by don't initializing priv->con_ip4_config
before we commit the first time.

It could be that the device was removed and the default route manager holds the

Ethernet, WiFi, and VLAN used the same implementation for initial address.
Ethernet and WiFi used the same implementation (and duplicated code) for
permanent MAC address, plus they both used ethtool in what should be
generic code, which is better done in the platform.
Now on SIGHUP, when reloading NetworkManager configuration, also reload
the ignore-carrier flag.
While a device is activated, the reload is ignored until the device
deactivates.
Maybe it would be simpler just not to cache ignore_carrer and let it
take effect immediately. But not caching ignore_carrer has the
additional downside that every call to is_available must check the
specs -- which in sum is potentially expensive for something that
almost never changes.

Most nm_platform_*() functions operate on the platform
singleton nm_platform_get(). That made sense because the
NMPlatform instance was mainly to hook fake platform for
testing.
While the implicit argument saved some typing, I think explicit is
better. Especially, because NMPlatform could become a more usable
object then just a hook for testing.
With this change, NMPlatform instances can be used individually, not
only as a singleton instance.
Before this change, the constructor of NMLinuxPlatform could not
call any nm_platform_*() functions because the singleton was not
yet initialized. We could only instantiate an incomplete instance,
register it via nm_platform_setup(), and then complete initialization
via singleton->setup().
With this change, we can create and fully initialize NMPlatform instances
before/without setting them up them as singleton.
Also, currently there is no clear distinction between functions
that operate on the NMPlatform instance, and functions that can
be used stand-alone (e.g. nm_platform_ip4_address_to_string()).
The latter can not be mocked for testing. With this change, the
distinction becomes obvious. That is also useful because it becomes
clearer which functions make use of the platform cache and which not.
Inside nm-linux-platform.c, continue the pattern that the
self instance is named @platform. That makes sense because
its type is NMPlatform, and not NMLinuxPlatform what we
would expect from a paramter named @self.
This is a major diff that causes some pain when rebasing. Try
to rebase to the parent commit of this commit as a first step.
Then rebase on top of this commit using merge-strategy "ours".
The connection now might be being activated on another device. Defer the
removal until we're sure the activation request will proceed and only add the
active connection afterwards.

Since f85513b (device: do not touch sysctls after the device was removed) the
device is not unconfigured/cleaned up when it's removed. When we're quitting
the device is not actually removed, we're just unmanaging it -- let's just
use a different reason so that the cleanup runs.
Fixes: f85513b8e4
Some device types (s390 OSA and ipvlan) can use the same link-layer address
for multiple virtual interfaces, and the kernel used the dev_id property
to differentiate these devices when constructing the IID. NM should do
this too to prevent IID clashes.

Configuration commit is an unsafe thing to do for assumed connections,
it can remove an externally added address we don't know about yet.
The device already has a link-local address; for an assumed connection
it's the reason we assumed the method=link-local in the first place.
Paths to sysctls don't use ifindex and device names can be reused. If someone
removes a device and quickly creates a device with the same name, chances are
we're cleaning up the device that was just added.
Sadly, it seems there's no better API than sysctl-- neither netlink nor procfs
symlinks with ifindex or anything like that.
It would subtract the configuration from device confguration that's not yet
applied. This a the race where the loose the address while activating a
connection that has both IPv6 and IPv4 configuration.

These functions will sometimes get called on updates to the device's IP
config due to external changes, or when addresses get flushed from the
device when activating it. If the device is a slave device, then at
this point its NMConnection won't have an IP settings. Suppress the
warning that gets printed when s_ip == NULL, because it's expected.
