Thomas Haller 60877600c5 libnm: hide NMActiveConnection until NMRemoteConnection is ready
Generally, libnm's NMClient cache only wants to expose NMObjects that
are fully initalized. Most objects don't require anything special,
except NMRemoteConnection which waits for the GetSettings() call to complete.

NMObjects reference each other. For example, NMActiveConnection
references NMDevice and NMRemoteConnection. There is a desire that an
object is only ready, if the objects that it references are ready too.
In practice that is not done, because usually every objects references
other objects, that means all objects would be declared as non-ready
as long as any of them is still initializing. That does not seem
desirable. Instead, most objects (except NMRemoteConnection and now
NMActiveConnection) are considered ready and visible, once their first
notification completes. In case the objects reference any object that is
not yet ready, the references is NULL (but the source object is visible
already). This is also done this way, to cope with cycles where
objects reference each other. In practice, such cycles should not be
exposed by NetworkManager. However, libnm should be robust against that.

This has the undesired effect that when you call AddAndActivate(), then
the NMActiveConnection might already be visible while its
NMRemoteConnection isn't. That means, ac.get_connection() will
initially return NULL, until the remote connection becomes ready.
Also add a special handling that NMActiveConnection waits for their
NMRemoteConnection to be ready, before being ready itself.
