Beniamino Galvani 1bbde12e57 libnm,nmcli: add vlan.protocol property
Introduce a "vlan.protocol" property that specifies the protocol of a
VLAN, which controls the tag (EtherType) used for encapsulation.

Regular VLANs use 802.1Q (tag 0x8100). To implement VLAN stacking it's
sometimes useful to have 802.1ad VLANs with tag 0x88A8.

The property is a string instead of e.g. an enum because this allows
maximum flexibility in the future. For example, it becomes possible to
specify an arbitrary number in case if the kernel ever allows it.

libnmc-setting

A client library on top of libnm (and libnm-base). Like libnmc-base, this is a helper library that a libnm client could use.

But its purpose is more specific. It's mainly about providing a generic API for handling connection properties. As such, it's only used by nmcli and in practice also specific to nmcli.

Theoretically, the API is supposed to be generic, so we could imagine another client that uses this beside nmcli.

Like libnm-base, this has a similar purpose and application as ../libnm-client-aux-extern/, the difference is that it's even more specific.
