Add new Reload D-Bus command to reload NetworkManager configuration.
For now, this is like sending SIGHUP to the process. There are several
advantages here:
- it is guarded via PolicyKit authentication while signals
can only be sent by root.
- the user can wait for the reload to be complete instead of sending
an asynchronous signal. For now, we operation completes after
nm_config_reload() returns, but later we could delay the response
further until specific parts are fully reloaded.
- SIGHUP reloads everything including re-reading configuration from
disk while SIGUSR1 reloads just certain parts such as writing out DNS
configuration anew.
Now, the Reload command has a flags argument which is more granular
in selecting parts which are to be reloaded. For example, via
signals the user can:
1) send SIGUSR1: this writes out the DNS configuration to
resolv.conf and possibly reloads other parts without
re-reading configuration and without restarting the DNS plugin.
2) send SIGHUP: this reloads configuration from disk,
writes out resolv.conf and restarts the DNS plugin.
There is no way, to only restart the DNS plugin without also reloading
everything else.
Add a new "Config" property to the D-Bus interface for team devices
and show its value through "nmcli device show". The property contains
the full JSON configuration from teamd for the device.

This breaks API and ABI for the functions related to Reapply,
which got introduced in the current 1.1 development phase.
The version-id is here to allow users to error out if the connection
on the device was changed by a concurrent action.

This property is TRUE for devices that exist either as a kernel device
or are backed by some other resource (eg, ModemManager object, Bluez
device, etc). It will eventually be FALSE for software devices that
are not yet instantiated.
The new object type represents tunnels over IPv4 and IPv6.
We have a single setting type (NMSettingIPTunnel) for tunnels and it
can't be shared among different device factories. So we define also a
single device type for all tunnels.
This new object will also represent GRE tunnels, which before were
instantiated as NMDeviceGre and had a ".Device.Gre" D-Bus
interface. This commit introduces a change in behavior.
Since libnm is the preferred way to interact with NM now, we don't
want to add new device types to libnm-glib.
Make libnm-glib recognize TUN devices as generic ones and modify
NMDeviceGeneric to use the correct D-Bus interface based on the actual
device type.
This adds a LldpNeighbors property to the Device D-Bus interface
carrying information about devices discovered through LLDP. The
property is an array of hashes and each hash describes the values of
LLDP TLVs for a specific neighbor.
Without this, the user cannot configure only certain logging domains
without touching them all.
E.g.
# nmcli general logging level DEBUG domains PLATFORM
will disable all non-PLATFORM domains.
Well, the user can do:
# nmcli general logging level INFO domains PLATFORM:DEBUG
# nmcli general logging level DEBUG domains ALL:INFO,PLATFORM
but in this case all non-PLATFORM domains are reset explicitly.
Now the user can:
# nmcli general logging level KEEP domains PLATFORM:DEBUG
# nmcli general logging level DEBUG domains ALL:KEEP,PLATFORM
which will only change the platform domain.
Add some missing files to libnmdbus.la. Add missing name-fixing
annotations to the XML to make all generated NMDBus types match the
names of their corresponding NM types.
For existing devices, depending on the order that netlink sends interfaces to
us, the parent may be found after the VLAN interface and not be available when
the VLAN interface is constructed. Instead of failing construction, when a
NMDeviceVlan has no parent keep it unavailable for activation. Then have
the Manager notify existing devices when a new device is found, and let
NMDeviceVlan find the parent later and become available via that mechanism.
This doesn't apply to VLANs created by NM itself, because the kernel requires
a parent ifindex when creating a VLAN device. Thus this fix only applies to
VLANs created outside NetworkManager, or existing when NM starts up.
Add new capabilities CAP_FREQ_2GHZ and CAP_FREQ_5GHZ to indicate the
frequency bands supported by a Wifi device.
Add also CAP_FREQ_VALID, which is set when the values of the other 2
capabilities are available.

Add AddressData and RouteData properties to NMSettingIPConfig and
NMIP[46]Config. These are like the existing "addresses" and "routes"
properties, but using strings and containing additional attributes,
like NMIPAddress and NMIPRoute.
This only affects the D-Bus representations; there are no API changes
to NMSettingIP{,4,6}Config or NMIP{4,6}Config as a result of this; the
additional information is just added to the existing 'addresses' and
'routes' properties.
NMSettingIP4Config and NMSettingIP6Config now always generate both
old-style data ('addresses', 'address-labels', 'routes') and new-style
data ('address-data', 'gateway', 'route-data') when serializing to
D-Bus, for backward compatibility. When deserializing, they will fill
in the 'addresses' and 'routes' properties from the new-style data if
it is present (ignoring the old-style data), or from the old-style
data if the new-style isn't present.
The daemon-side NMIP4Config and NMIP6Config always emit changes for
both 'Addresses'/'Routes' and 'AddressData'/'RouteData'. The
libnm-side classes initially listen for changes on both properties,
but start ignoring the 'Addresses' and 'Routes' properties once they
know the daemon is also providing 'AddressData' and 'RouteData'.
