Beniamino Galvani dad4da06b1 libnm-core: fix the documentation of the gateway IP property 
The D-Bus API documentation of the IPv4 and IPv6 settings say:

* addresses
 	Deprecated in favor of the 'address-data' and 'gateway'
 	properties, but this can be used for backward-compatibility
 	with older daemons. Note that if you send this property the
 	daemon will ignore 'address-data' and 'gateway'.

* gateway
       The gateway associated with this configuration. This is only
       meaningful if "addresses" is also set.

This documentation wrongly suggests that at D-Bus level "gateway"
requires "addresses", while it actually requires "address-data". The
reason for the inconsistency is that the gateway documentation is
common between nmcli and D-Bus and it refers to the "address" GObject
property, not to the D-Bus property.

Fix this inconsistency by not explicitly mentioning the property name.

Fixes: 36156b70dc ('libnm: Override parts of nm-setting-docs.xml')

libnmc-setting

A client library on top of libnm (and libnm-base). Like libnmc-base, this is a helper library that a libnm client could use.

But its purpose is more specific. It's mainly about providing a generic API for handling connection properties. As such, it's only used by nmcli and in practice also specific to nmcli.

Theoretically, the API is supposed to be generic, so we could imagine another client that uses this beside nmcli.

Like libnm-base, this has a similar purpose and application as ../libnm-client-aux-extern/, the difference is that it's even more specific.
