Recent gettext version can extract and merge back strings from and to
various file formats, no need for intltool anymore.

Clarification about the use of AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION:
In configure.ac, specify the minimum gettext version we require, rather
than the exact one. This fixes a situation where the autoconf macros
used for gettext will be the latest available on the system (for
example, 0.20); but the copied-in Makefile.in.in will be for the exact
version specified in configure.ac (in this case, 0.19).
In that situation, the gettext build rules will error out at `make` time
with the message:
*** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in
from gettext version 0.19 but the autoconf macros are from gettext
version 0.20
Avoid that by specifying a minimum version dependency rather than an
exact one. This should not cause problems as we haven’t committed any
generated or external gettext files into git, so each developer will end
up regenerating the build system for their system’s version of gettext,
as expected.
See the subsection of
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Version-Control-Issues.html
for more information.
Note that autoreconf currently doesn’t recognise
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION, so we must continue also using
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION. autopoint will ignore the latter if the former
is present. See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2015-10/msg00000.html.
[lkundrak@v3.sk: Fixed the meson build, adjusted autogen.sh:
droped "|| exit 1", dropped call to aclocal,
dropped --copy from gtkdocize.]
Currently "src/" mostly contains the source code of the daemon.
I say mostly, because that is not true, there are also the device,
settings, wwan, ppp plugins, the initrd generator, the pppd and dhcp
helper, and probably more.
Also we have source code under libnm-core/, libnm/, clients/, and
shared/ directories. That is all confusing.
We should have one "src" directory, that contains subdirectories. Those
subdirectories should contain individual parts (libraries or
applications), that possibly have dependencies on other subdirectories.
There should be a flat hierarchy of directories under src/, which
contains individual modules.
As the name "src/" is already taken, that prevents any sensible
restructuring of the code.
As a first step, move "src/" to "src/core/". This gives space to
reorganize the code better by moving individual components into "src/".
For inspiration, look at systemd's "src/" directory.

This removes libnm-glib, libnm-glib-vpn, and libnm-util for good.
The it has been replaced with libnm since NetworkManager 1.0, disabled
by default since 1.12 and no up-to-date distributions ship it for years
now.
Removing the libraries allows us to:
* Remove the horrible hacks that were in place to deal with accidental use
of both the new and old library in a single process.
* Relief the translators of maintenance burden of similar yet different
strings.
* Get rid of known bad code without chances of ever getting fixed
(libnm-glib/nm-object.c and libnm-glib/nm-object-cache.c)
* Generally lower the footprint of the releases and our workspace
If there are some really really legacy users; they can just build
libnm-glib and friends from the NetworkManager-1.16 distribution. The
D-Bus API is stable and old libnm-glib will keep working forever.

It's deprecated and has been replaced by libnm for 6 major releases now.
Its use in modern distributions has faded to the point it can probably
be safely removed.
- `make dist` requires --enable-gtk-doc --enable-introspection --with-libnm-glib
- --enable-gtk-doc requires --enable-introspection
- --with-nmcli requires either --enable-introspection or pregenerated
settings-docs.c files from the dist tarball. It does not require
--enable-gtk-doc.
There is a bit of a problem in that --enable-introspection requires
now xsltproc. However, gobject-introspection does itself not depend
on xsltproc. So, more correct might be a special --enable-doc argument,
that combines --enable-introspection --with-xsltproc. Anyway, that
seems to make it more complicated then it already is so just implicitly
(and surprisingly?) require xsltproc with --enable-introspection.

It seems like a poor default for various downstream toolchains. We can't
anticipate the compiler warnings for future compiler versions and older
ones are prone to false positives. Also, older gdbus-codegen is known
to generate code that triggers compiler warnings.
Let's keep it enabled for maintainer builds and distcheck so that we're
sure a tool chain that builds releases without warnings exists.
And change src/main.c to use the local allocation macros. This
results in much cleaner code, as one can see from the diff.
Because libgsystem is designed for nonrecursive make, it fits best in
the current recursive setup if we build . first. This will be a lot
nicer when we switch NM to a nonrecursive setup.
