Monitor the kernel firmware directory (set at configure-time with
--with-kernel-firmware-dir=<path>) for changes, and if there
are any, try bringing up devices that are missing firmware.
If an NMObject listened to property change notifications from
other NMObjects and then in response to that queued up other
property changes of it's own, those would get added to the
property change list that was being iterated through already.
Each name in the change list is freed after being notified,
but the change list itself is actually freed when all
properties have been notified. So an object that queues up
another change notification ends up in _nm_object_queue_notify()
which iterates the change list where half of the data elements
are already freed...

There are so many... so handle them as a table of key/value pairs
instead of having separate functions for each one. At the moment
nothing but subchannels is used internally, but this allows plugins
to preserve options that NM doesn't care about when reading/writing
system configuration.
Not all drivers will return errors when even when they don't provide
the GPERMADDR ethtool call; sometimes you'll get 00:00:00:00:00:00
which is clearly not right. In this case, fall back to the current
HW address just like if the ethtool GPERMADDR call failed.
- Just use a byte array to old MAC addresses so we don't need to
use .ether_addr_octet everywhere
- Consolidate setting the current MAC address into one location
- Make sure that if the GPERMADDR call fails we use the current MAC
(this wasn't done for wired devices)
- Make log messages consistent
