When IPv6 privacy extensions are enabled, by default temporary addresses
have a valid lifetime of 1 week and a preferred lifetime of 1 day.
That's far too long for privacy-conscious users, some of whom want a new
address once every few seconds. Add connection options that correspond
to /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/temp_valid_lft and
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/temp_prefered_lft to allow configuring the
address rotation time on a per-connection basis.
The new properties are defined as 32-bit signed integers to match the
sysctl parameters which are also signed, although currently only
positive numbers are valid.
Fixes the following deprecation warning:
meson.build:585: DEPRECATION: configuration_data.set10
with number. the `set10` method should only be used with booleans
This replaces the underlying type of mac_address_blacklist, which is currently GArray,
with a more re-usable NMValueStrv, which allows us to implement it as a direct property.
The comparison checking for MAC address equality had previously been flipped around.

A common source for doubts and questions from users is about why
devices are unmanaged. Unfortunately NM doesn't expose that
information properly via D-Bus and so it's not available in nmcli.
The device D-Bus object has two properties that are strictly related:
"state" and "state-reason". The latter represents the reason for the
current state. Introduce new reasons to indicate the possible causes
for the unmanaged state. Note that a device can be unmanaged because
of multiple reasons at the same time, we only return one.
Before:
$ nmcli -f GENERAL.DEVICE,GENERAL.TYPE,GENERAL.STATE,GENERAL.reason device show
GENERAL.DEVICE: enp7s0
GENERAL.TYPE: ethernet
GENERAL.STATE: 10 (unmanaged)
GENERAL.REASON: 0 (No reason given)
GENERAL.DEVICE: tun0
GENERAL.TYPE: tun
GENERAL.STATE: 10 (unmanaged)
GENERAL.REASON: 0 (No reason given)
GENERAL.DEVICE: hwsim0
GENERAL.TYPE: unknown
GENERAL.STATE: 10 (unmanaged)
GENERAL.REASON: 0 (No reason given)
After:
$ nmcli -f GENERAL.DEVICE,GENERAL.TYPE,GENERAL.STATE,GENERAL.reason device show
GENERAL.DEVICE: enp7s0
GENERAL.TYPE: ethernet
GENERAL.STATE: 10 (unmanaged)
GENERAL.REASON: 76 (The device is unmanaged by user decision via settings plugin ("unmanaged-devices" for keyfile or "NM_CONTROLLED=no" for ifcfg-rh))
GENERAL.DEVICE: tun0
GENERAL.TYPE: tun
GENERAL.STATE: 10 (unmanaged)
GENERAL.REASON: 75 (The device is unmanaged by explicit user decision (e.g. 'nmcli device set $DEV managed no')
GENERAL.DEVICE: hwsim0
GENERAL.TYPE: unknown
GENERAL.STATE: 10 (unmanaged)
GENERAL.REASON: 69 (The device is unmanaged because the device type is unmanaged by default)

Allow user to edit openssl_strings and phase1_auth_flags using nmtui.
Hide these settings behind "Show expert TLS options" checkbox when
edited network uses default values for these options.
Setting for wpa_supplicant openssl_ciphers - openssl sometimes moves
ciphers among SECLEVELs. That is generaly a good thing, but some servers
are too old to support newer ciphers. Thus expert user should be allowed
to define openssl_ciphers per connection, so that they can connect to
old server, while not compromising security of other connections.
When creating VLAN over OVS internal interface which holding the same
name as its controller OVS bridge, NetworkManager will fail with error:
Error: Connection activation failed: br0.101 failed to create
resources: cannot retrieve ifindex of interface br0 (Open vSwitch
Bridge)
Expanded the `find_device_by_iface()` with additional argument
`child: NmConnection *` which will validate whether candidate is
suitable to be parent device.
In `nm_device_check_parent_connection_compatible()`, we only not allow OVS
bridge and OVS port being parent.

Previously, the mock server did not behave as expected when given an aliased property
and the test results were not matching that of actual NM daemon behavior.
The purpose of this is to allow overriding to_dbus_fcn and from_dbus_fcn when
necessary (such as for special behavior regarding a deprecated/aliased properties).
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.
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.
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.
