libnm-systemd-core

This is a fork of systemd source files that are compiled as a static library with network helpers.

We use systemd's DHCPv6 and LLDP library, by forking their code.

We also still use their DHCPv4 library, but that is about to be replaced by nettools' n-dhcp4 and not used unless you configure the undocumented [main].dhcp=systemd plugin.

This approach of code-reuse is very cumbersome, and we should replace systemd code by a proper library (like nettools).

We should not use systemd directly from our sources, beyond what we really need.
