Reapply() is supposed to make sure that the system (the interface)
is configured as indicated by the applied-connection. That means,
it will remove/add configuration to make the system match the requested
configuration.
Add a flag "preserve-external-ip" which relaxes this. During reapply,
IP addresses/routes that exist on the interface and which are not known
(or added) by NetworkManager will be left alone.
This will be used by nm-cloud-setup, so that it can reconfigure the
interface in a less destructive way, which does not conflict with
external `ip addr/route` calls.
Note that the previous commit just adds "VersionInfo" and the
possibility to expose capabilities (patch-level). This is not used
for the new reapply flag, because, while we might backport the
reapply flag, we won't backport the "VersionInfo" property. Exposing
new capabilities via the "VersionInfo" property will only become useful
in the future, where we can backport a capability to older NM versions
(but those that have "VersionInfo" too).
The property `PROP_PORTS` should be of type g_param_spec_variant() with
variant 'ao'. This way the variant can be cached.
The deprecated property 'device::slaves' in
'src/core/devices/nm-device.c' must have the same getter-implementation,
returning the same GVariant instance.

D-Bus 1.3.1 (2010) introduced the standard "PropertiesChanged" signal
on "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties". NetworkManager is old, and predates
this API. From that time, it still had it's own PropertiesChanged signal
that are emitted together with the standard ones. NetworkManager
supports the standard PropertiesChanged signal since it switched to
gdbus library in version 1.2.0 (2016).
These own signals are deprecated for a long time already ([1], 2016), and
are hopefully not used by anybody anymore. libnm-glib was using them and
relied on them, but that library is gone. libnm does not use them and neither
does plasma-nm.
Hopefully no users are left that are affected by this API break.

The "Ip4Address" property of "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device"
interface is deprecated since version 0.9.9.1 (2013). Also, the property
is not exposed by libnm and generally not useful.
Drop the code to maintain it. The property still exists but always
returns 0 (0.0.0.0).
Add a new read-only "InterfaceFlags" property to the Device interface
to export via D-Bus kernel flags and possibly other NM specific
flags. At the moment IFF_UP and IFF_LOWERUP are implemented.
Correct the spelling across the *entire* tree, including translations,
comments, etc. It's easier that way.
Even the places where it's not exposed to the user, such as tests, so
that we learn how is it spelled correctly.

Use nm_utils_str_utf8safe_escape() to sanitize non UTF-8 sequences
before exposing them on D-Bus. The operation can be reverted client
side via nm_utils_str_utf8safe_unescape() or simply g_strcompress().
Note that this preserves all valid UTF-8 sequences as-is, with exception
of the backslash escape character and ASCII control characters. Thus, this
is a change in behavior for strings that contain such characters.
Note that nmcli is not changed to somehow unescape the string before
printing. As the string is not valid UTF-8 (or contains ASCII characters
that need escaping), they are not printable as-is, so unescaping before
printing makes little sense.
This makes it easier to install the files with proper names.
Also, it makes the makefile rules slightly simpler.
Lastly, the documentation is now generated into docs/api, which makes it
possible to get rid of the awkward relative file names in docbook.
