While this function only returns the path of the requested connection
(the actual settings are always protected), callers that aren't in
the connection's ACL still probably shouldn't get that, if only to
be pedantic.
Add a "monitor-connection-files" config option, which can be set to
"false" to disable automatic reloading of connections on file change.
To go with this, add a new ReloadConnections method on
o.fd.NM.Settings that can be used to manually reload connections, and
add an nm-cli command to call it.
We don't always want to immediately write new connections to disk, to
facilitate "runtime" or "temporary" connections where an interface's
runtime config isn't backed by on-disk config. Also, just because
an interface's configuration is changed doesn't necessarily mean
that new configuration should be written to disk either.
Add D-Bus methods for adding new connections and for updating existing
connections that don't immediately save the connection to disk.
Also add infrastructure to indicate to plugins that the new connection
shouldn't be immediately saved if the connection was added with the
new method.
If the client knows the UUID, add a convenience function to get
the connection path directly, instead of having to iterate the
whole connection list and get each connection's details and then
check the UUID.
Moves the system settings permissions checking into the core service's
permissions checking, which at the same time enables 3-way permission
reporting (yes, no, auth) instead of the old yes/no that we had for
system settings permissions before. This allows UI to show a lock
icon or such when the user could authenticate to gain the permission.
It also moves the wifi-create permissions' namespace to the main
namespace (not .settings) since they really should be checked before
starting a shared wifi connection, rather than having anything to do
with the settings service.
Just for consistency, make settings related stuff live under the
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager namespace, rather than its own
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings namespace. Renames are done for
DBus interface names, DBus object paths, and polkit actions.
Much as with nm-remote-settings and nm-remote-settings-system, the
removal of user settings services means there is no more need for
separate interfaces for user and system settings services.
In libnm-glib, this commit merges everything in
nm-settings-system-interface into nm-settings-interface. Alongside with
that, we merge everything in the
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.System DBus interface into
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.
The old NMExportedConnection was used for both client and server-side classes,
which was a mistake and made the code very complicated to follow. Additionally,
all PolicyKit operations were synchronous, and PK operations can block for a
long time (ie for user input) before returning, so they need to be async. But
NMExportedConnection and NMSysconfigConnection didn't allow for async PK ops
at all.
Use this opportunity to clean up the mess and create GInterfaces that both
server and client objects implement, so that the connection editor and applet
can operate on generic objects like they did before (using the interfaces) but
can perform specific operations (like async PK verification of callers) depending
on whether they are local or remote or whatever.

Stupid mistake on my part; object path and interface for settings service
and connection objects can be the same, only the service name must be
different for the system and user settings services.

- Service name -> NetworkManagerUserSettings because two services
can't share part of the same path. I'm not really sure how we'll use
the same code with the system-settings daemon...
