The only reliable way of setting a MAC address for the team is through
the "hwaddr" property in the configuration passed to teamd. In order
to rewrite the configuration we need Jansson support; since it is
already a requirement for teamd, let the team plugin depend on it.
If configure is called without --enable-json-validation or
--disable-json-validation, let's automatically choose a value
depending on the availability of the library.
Add support for creating dummy devices. This commit adds a D-Bus
interface 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Dummy' which is used
primarily for determining the device type but does not carry any
properties.
Since we generate "libnm-core/nm-core-enum-types.h" via GLIB_GENERAED,
there is no obvious place to $(MKDIR_P). Add a dependency to the
.dirstamp of the directory to instruct automake to create the directory.
"shared/nm-setting-metadata.h" will contain data structures
to handle NM setting properties in a generic way.
For now, this is internal API, but shared between libnm-core (which
extends to libnm, NetworkManager, device-plugins, settings-plugins),
and nmcli.

Otherwise, substitions are not properly expanded.
For example
- "AC_SUBST(nmrundir, '${runstatedir}'/$PACKAGE, [NetworkManager runtime state directory])"
gives ${runstatedir}/NetworkManager/resolv.conf
- "AC_SUBST(nmrundir, "${runstatedir}/$PACKAGE", [NetworkManager runtime state directory])"
gives ${prefix}/var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf
Building the man pages via xsltproc requires "docbook.xsl"
which is part of docbook.
Previously, we would build the man pages solely based on
"--enable-introspection", which checks for the presence of
xsltproc, but not docbook. This can lead to build failure
when docbook is not available, but "--enable-introspection"
is given.
Instead of adding yet another configure option to fine-tune
and say "--with-docbook --disable-gtk-doc", just simplify it.
Now, documentation (both man pages and setting docs) will be generated
with "--enable-gtk-doc" and "--enable-introspection".
If the documentation is not about to be generated, pre-generated docs
will be installed if they are available. That is commonly the case
with a source tarball, but not with a git checkout.
Finally, if documentation is nither generated nor pre-generated,
no documentation will be installed *duh*.
This removes the possibility to treat man pages separate from settings
docs. Now you either generate both, install both pre-generated, or don't
get any of them.

`nm` is used by "tools/create-exports-NetworkManager.sh" script.
Alloc configuring an explicit path during configure.
BINUTILS_NM=/usr/bin/nm ./configure
The new NMSettingMacsec contains information necessary to establish a
MACsec connection. At the moment we support two different MACsec
modes, both using wpa_supplicant: PSK and EAP.
PSK mode is based on a static CAK key for the MACsec key agreement
protocol, while EAP mode derives keys from a 802.1x authentication and
thus requires the presence of a NMSetting8021x in the connection.
Generating "src/NetworkManager.ver" each time seems to work well.
Thus, src/NetworkManager.ver-orig is unused an gets easily out
of date. Just remove it. It's not useful anymore.
As build-requirement, we either require
- python2 with python-gobject-base
- python3 with python3-gobject-base
Previously, we would require that a plain `python` gives the desired
interpreter version.
If somebody's "/usr/bin/env python" however points to a different
python version, there was no easy way to change it -- aside
resetting the $PATH variable to some desired "python" binary.
Now, you can specify it during configure:
./configure PYTHON=python3 ...
This especially matters, if you only have python3-gobject-base
installed, you /usr/bin/python is a symlink to python2.

Extend the D-Bus API and introduce a new NMDnsManager interface that
contains all the information related to DNS configuration.
At the moment the new DnsManager object only contains basic properties
describing the current DNS mode and resolv.conf manager.
Moving the PPP manager to a separate plugin that is loaded when needed
has the advantage of slightly reducing memory footprint and makes it
possible to install the PPP support only where needed.

- `make dist` requires --enable-gtk-doc --enable-introspection --with-libnm-glib
- --enable-gtk-doc requires --enable-introspection
- --with-nmcli requires either --enable-introspection or pregenerated
settings-docs.c files from the dist tarball. It does not require
--enable-gtk-doc.
There is a bit of a problem in that --enable-introspection requires
now xsltproc. However, gobject-introspection does itself not depend
on xsltproc. So, more correct might be a special --enable-doc argument,
that combines --enable-introspection --with-xsltproc. Anyway, that
seems to make it more complicated then it already is so just implicitly
(and surprisingly?) require xsltproc with --enable-introspection.

Need to pass --path to xsltproc to find common.ent in the
build-directory.
$ git clean -fdx && NMTST_MAKE='V=1 -d' ./tools/test-build.sh man/nm-settings-ifcfg-rh.xml
When building "libnm/nm-settings-docs.xml", we require
"nm-settings-docs-overrides.xml". As we dist the overrides files,
we must consult VPATH to locate the proper version of the file.
