Like the previous commit. Move code that depends on libnm-core out of shared to avoid circular dependency. Also add a readme file explaining the reason for existence of the helper libraries nm-libnm-core-intern and nm-libnm-core-aux. |

nm-libnm-core-aux is a static library that:
- uses parts of "libnm-core", that are public API of "libnm"
- can be statically linked into users of libnm-core (like libnm and NetworkManager).
- that can also be statically linked into other users of libnm.
Basically, it is a static library with utility functions that extends libnm-core (the part that is public API of libnm), but can also be used without full libnm.
That means:
- you can use it everywhere where you either statically link with libnm-core, or dynamically link with libnm.
- you cannot use it inside libnm-core itself. This is the difference between nm-libnm-core-intern and nm-libnm-core-aux.
Also, since nm-libnm-core-aux itself only uses public (stable) API of libnm, you theoretically can copy the sources into your own source tree.
