Beniamino Galvani 2838b1c5e8 core: track force-commit flag for l3cd and platform objects 
Problem: if l3cfg commits an address and routes from DHCP, when the
address expires those objects are removed automatically. NM tracks the
objects as missing as if the user removed them. This is to prevent
l3cfg to committing them again. If the lease if renewed, l3cfg should
be allowed to commit those objects again.

Introduce a l3cd flag to indicate that it should be force-committed
once, and propagate this flag to platform objects. In this way, l3cfg
can avoid committing again objects that are removed externally, but it
can commit them when the l3cd changes.

libnm-platform

A static helper library that provides NMPlatform and other utils. This is NetworkManager's internal netlink library, but also contains helpers for sysfs, ethtool and other kernel APIs.

NMPlaform is also a cache of objects of the netlink API: NMPCache and NMPObject. These objects are used throughout NetworkManager also for generally tracking information about these types. For example, NMPlatformIP4Address (the public part of a certain type of NMPObject) is not only used to track platform addresses from netlink in the cache, but to track information about IPv4 addresses in general.

This depends on the following helper libraries
