Lubomir Rintel a7ef068186 cli: don't ignore errors from setting property aliases
Before, we would just ignore the errors when we passed an invalid value
to a property alias:

  $ nmcli c add type ethernet mac Hello
  Connection 'ethernet-1' (242eec76-7147-411a-a50b-336cf5bc8137) successfully added.
  $ nmcli c show 242eec76-7147-411a-a50b-336cf5bc8137 |grep 802-3-ethernet.mac-address:
  802-3-ethernet.mac-address:             --

...or crash, because the GError would still be around:

  $ nmcli c add type ethernet mac Hello ethernet.mac-address World
  (process:734670): GLib-WARNING **: 14:52:51.436: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.
  This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
  The overwriting error message was: Error: failed to modify 802-3-ethernet.mac-address: 'World' is not a valid Ethernet MAC.
  Error: failed to modify 802-3-ethernet.mac-address: 'Hello' is not a valid Ethernet MAC.

Now we catch it early enough:

  $ nmcli c add type ethernet mac Hello
  Error: failed to modify 802-3-ethernet.mac-address: 'Hello' is not a valid Ethernet MAC.

Fixes: 40032f4614 ('cli: fix resetting values via property alias')

src/

Most of the subdirectories are static helper libraries, which get linked into one of the final build artifacts (like libnm, nmcli or NetworkManager). Static libraries are internal API.

The only public API is libnm, which is a shared library provided client implementations.

Our own clients (like nmcli and nmtui) also use libnm, the shared library. But they also use additional static helper libraries.

The daemon statically links against a part of libnm, the part that provides connection profiles. That is libnm-core. libnm-core is thus statically linked with libnm and the daemon. It does not get linked by clients that already link with libnm (like nmtui).
