Finding out interface type from interface name string is fragile. It is easily
broken, e.g. by biosdevname changing interface names to em<n> or p<n>*p<n>.
Sadly, Gentoo network configuration scripts are rather stupid, using format:
variable_${interface|mac|essid|apmac}.

The entries interface|mac|essid|apmac are basically indistinguishable. It's not
possible to say whether 'p1p1' is an interface or SSID, for example.
Fix the current behaviour a bit by checking whether the string is an interface.
If so, and it is not a Wi-Fi one, set the connection type as wired. Else it is
regarded as wireless.
Ifnet currently does not deal with user agent service. Any connection
that comes with flagged secrets or is not system connection will be
ignored by the plugin. Thanks to David Narvaez for his great help on
this problem.
Always removing wep_tx_keyidx will cause wpa_supplicant.conf being
written even if nothing has been changed. Now it will be removed only
when wep is not used anymore.
We need to do the same thing as wpa_supplicant's own config file parser
and ignore '#' characters that occur between the first and last '"'
characters in a config file line.

nm_utils_hwaddr_ntoa() and nm_utils_hwaddr_aton() are like
ether_ntoa()/ether_aton(), but handle IPoIB too.
nm_utils_hwaddr_atoba() is like _aton() but returns a GByteArray,
since that's what's wanted in many places.
Also remove nm_ether_ntop() and replace uses of it with
nm_utils_hwaddr_ntoa().
When a connection changes on-disk, the in-memory copy of it may contain
transient secrets (agent-owned or not saved) that dont' get written out
to disk. When comparing the on-disk copy to the in-memory copy make sure
transient secrets are ignored so that we don't re-read the on-disk copy
needlessly.
