Previously, the ppp version was only detected (and used) at one place,
in "nm-pppd-compat.c", after including the ppp headers. That was nice
and easy.
However, with that way, we could only detect it after including ppp
headers, and given the ugliness of ppp headers, we only want to include
them in "nm-pppd-compat.c" (and nowhere else).
In particular, 'nm-pppd-compat.c" uses symbols from the ppp daemon, it
thus can only be linked into a ppp plugin, not in NetworkManager core
itself. But at some places we will need to know the ppp version, outside
of the ppp plugin and "nm-pppd-compat.c".
Additionally, detect it at configure time and place it in "config.h".
There is a static assert that we are in agreement with the two ways of
detection.
Using the ppp code is rather ugly.
Historically, the pppd headers don't follow a good naming convention,
and define things that cause conflicts with our headers:
/usr/include/pppd/patchlevel.h:#define VERSION "2.4.9"
/usr/include/pppd/pppd.h:typedef unsigned char bool;
Hence we had to include the pppd headers in certain order, and be
careful.
ppp 2.5 changes API and cleans that up. But since we need to support
also old versions, it does not immediately simplify anything.
Only include "pppd" headers in "nm-pppd-compat.c" and expose a wrapper
API from "nm-pppd-compat.h". The purpose is that "nm-pppd-compat.h"
exposes clean names, while all the handling of ppp is in the source
file.
This change does the following
* Adding in nm-pppd-compat.h to mask details regarding different
versions of pppd.
* Fix the nm-pppd-plugin.c regarding differences in API between
2.4.9 (current) and latet pppd 2.5.0 in master branch
* Additional fixes to the configure.ac to appropriately set defines used
for compilation
When building network-manager in cross-compile environment meson is not able
to detect the right location of the mobile-broadband-provider-info
database by using the pkg-config module.
By adding the option 'mobile_broadband_provider_info_database' to set the
correct path to the datafile this can be solved.

Obviously, it would be nice if our unit tests are fast. However, with
valgrind and a busy machine, some of the tests can take a relatively
long time. In particular those, that are marked as "slow" (if you want
to skip them during development, do so via "NMTST_DEBUG=quick"
environment, or "CFLAGS=-DNMTST_TEST_QUICK=TRUE", see
"nm-test-utils.h").
Anyway. Our tests almost never hit the timeout, and if they do, the most
likely reason is that something was just slower then expected, and the
timeout is a bogus error.
Timeouts only act as last fail safe. It more important to avoid a false
(premature) timeout failure, than to minimize the wait time when the
test really hangs. Because a real hang is a bug anyway, that we will
discover and need to fix.
Increase the default test timeout for meson tests to 3 minutes.
Also, "test-route-linux" is known to take a long time. Increase that
timeout even further.

"-Difcfg_rh=false" did not work, we would always fallback to
autodetection. That is wrong, an explicit "false" should be honored.
It's also not what autotools does. Fix this.
While at it, drop "distro" variable. It's not a clear concept
that can be reused and it's unused otherwise.
Also, no longer let the autodetection be based on cross compilation.
When cross-compiling, it seems not entirely unreasonable that you cross
compile to a comparable distro, so let the autodetection be based on
what we detect on the host. In any case, a user can and is encouraged
to explicitly enable/disable the plugins via "-Difcfg_rh=" or
"-Difupdown=".
