Íñigo Huguet 51fc8af385 core: rename NM_STATE_ASLEEP to NM_STATE_DISABLED
When we do `nmcli networking off` it's shown as state "sleeping". This
is confusing, and the only reason is that we share internally code to
handle both situations in a similar way.

Rename the state to the more generic name "disabled", situation that can
happen either because of sleeping or networking off.

Clients cannot differentiate the exact reason only with the NMState value,
but better that they show "network off" as this is the most common reason
that they will be able to display. If the system is suspending, there will
be only a short period of time that they can show the state, and showing
"network off" is not wrong because that's what NM has done as a response
to suspend.

In the logs, let's make explicit the exact reason why state is changing
to DISABLED: sleeping or networking off.

Logs before:
  manager: disable requested (sleeping: no  enabled: yes)
  manager: NetworkManager state is now ASLEEP

Logs after:
  manager: disable requested (sleeping: no  enabled: yes)
  manager: NetworkManager state is now DISABLED (NEWORKING OFF)

State before:
  $ nmcli general
  STATE  ...
  asleep ...

State after:
  $ nmcli general
  STATE       ...
  network off ...

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).
