Fernando Fernandez Mancera 1f05526ed7 core: drop NMDevice master and introduce controller
The master property for NMDevice is internal only therefore we can
replace it directly with controller. In addition, I have adapted related
functions to use controller instead of master.

Gris Ge 86d67da28d checkpoint: Allow rollback on internal global DNS
With `NM_CHECKPOINT_CREATE_FLAG_TRACK_INTERNAL_GLOBAL_DNS` flag set on
checkpoint creation, the checkpoint rollback will restore the
global DNS in internal configure file
`/var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager-intern.conf`.

If user has set global DNS in /etc folder, this flag will not take any
effect.

Upstream systemd code was re-imported and therefore the issue is now
solved. Enable the warning again.

Fernando Fernandez Mancera ac4e63ddda ip: support dhcp-send-release in NMSettingIpConfig
Introduce a new option to NMSettingIpConfig. The new option is ternary
type being the default value set to disabled. When enabled,
NetworkManager will instruct the DHCP client to send RELEASE message
when IP addresses are being removed.

Fernando Fernandez Mancera 3be44c0aa8 device: rename _dev_ipdhcpx_cleanup() "release" argument
The argument might imply that when set to FALSE, the dhcp client won't
send a RELEASE message. This won't be true with the new
dhcp-send-release option that is going to be introduced.

Instead, change the name to "force_release", when set to TRUE it means
we are sending a RELEASE message even if not indicated by the user. When
set to FALSE, it will be up to the user.

Fernando Fernandez Mancera bd38a19832 connection: add support to down-on-poweroff
The new option at NMSettingConnection allow the user to specify if the
connection needs to be down when powering off the system. This is useful
for IP address removal prior powering off. In order to accomplish that,
we listen on "Shutdown" systemd DBus signal.

The option is set to FALSE by default, it can be specified globally on
configuration file or per profile.

Adds tests for making a distribution tarball, and then attempting to build NM from its contents.
Files have been left out from the distribution in the past by accident (e.g. 75027879, b2931c96)

"check" argument will change its default value to "true" in the future

Fixes the following warning:

WARNING: You should add the boolean check kwarg to the run_command call.
         It currently defaults to false,
         but it will default to true in future releases of meson.

Beniamino Galvani f9c0f7ae64 manager: make generic devices compatible with all link types
If a generic device is present and the name matches, it is compatible
with any link type.

For example, if a generic connection has a device-handler that creates
a dummy interface, the link is compatible with the NMDeviceGeneric.

Beniamino Galvani 3bb34edc53 core: persist state of software generic devices across restarts
When a generic connection has a custom device-handler, it always
generates a NMDeviceGeneric, even when the link that gets created is
of a type natively supported by NM. On service restart, we need to
keep track that the device is generic or otherwise a different device
type will be instantiated.

Beniamino Galvani f8e020c29e device: support creating generic devices via device-handler
If the device-handler of the generic connection is set, the connection
is virtual and the device is created by invoking the device-handler
via NetworkManager-dispatcher service.

With this change, a generic device now represents two different device
classes:

 - existing interfaces that are not natively supported or recognized
   by NetworkManager. Those devices have the `has_device_handler`
   property set to FALSE;

 - interfaces that are created by NM by invoking the device-handler;
   they have `has_device_handler` set to TRUE.
