* nmcli: fix setting property aliases to empty value to reset the
default value.
* Enforce valid lower case format for UUIDs in "connection.uuid" by normalizing the
string. This changes the UUID of existing profiles that had
an invalid or non-normalized value. Also normalize "connection.secondaries" to only
contain valid and distinct UUIDs. Note that pre-existing profiles that
set "connection.master" or the parent properties to a non-normalized UUID,
those profiles needs adjustment. Using such non-normalized UUIDs should have
been rare however so this change only affects users with such profiles who
also cared about the exact UUID (API BREAK).
* D-Bus: remove long deprecated PropertiesChanged signal from D-Bus
API. They are replaced by standard PropertiesChanged signal on the
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" interface. It's not expected that anybody
is still using this API (API BREAK).
* dhcp: honor ID_NET_DHCP_BROADCAST udev attribute to set the broadcast flag.

contain valid and distinct UUIDs. Profiles that set "connection.master" or the

non-normalized UUIDs should be rare and affect few users.

* dhcp: honor "ID_NET_DHCP_BROADCAST" udev attribute to set the broadcast flag.
This allows to configure devices in udev for which DHCPOFFER messages are to be
broadcast.
* firewall: add nftables firewall backend for configuring IPv4 NAT with shared
mode.
* ethtool: add support for pause settings.
