Now that the D-Bus signals in server are reordered, creating
a checkpoint in libnm crashes:

...
That is, because NetworkManager now first emits signals that the checkpoint
object was created, before answering the D-Bus request. That makes more
sense, but leads to this crash.
The ugliness of how libnm handles object visibility is considerable.
libnm hides objects until they are fully initialized. So, when
the async create-checkpoint operation returns, the object might not
yet be ready to be exposed. We need to delay the result. It would be
better if the API would simply return the created path.
