This is required to add objects in the "Types and Values" section and
in the API index. Later, we may want to add useful content in those
empty comments.
Add nm-core-types.h, typedefing all of the GObject types in
libnm-core; this is needed so that nm-setting.h can reference
NMConnection in addition to nm-connection.h referencing NMSetting.
Removing the cross-includes from the various headers causes lots of
fallout elsewhere. (In particular, nm-utils.h used to include
nm-connection.h, which included every setting header, so any file that
included nm-utils.h automatically got most of the rest of libnm-core
without needing to pay attention to specifics.) Fix this up by
including nm-core-internal.h from those files that are now missing
includes.
In preparation for porting to GDBus, make nm_connection_to_dbus(),
etc, represent connections as GVariants of type 'a{sa{sv}}' rather
than as GHashTables-of-GHashTables-of-GValues.
This means we're constantly converting back and forth internally, but
this is just a stepping stone on the way to the full GDBus port, and
all of that code will go away again later.
Rename nm_connection_to_hash() to nm_connection_to_dbus(), and
nm_connection_new_from_hash() to nm_connection_new_from_dbus(). In
addition to clarifying that this is specifically the D-Bus
serialization format, these names will also work better in the
GDBus-based future where the serialization format is GVariant, not
GHashTable.
Also, move NMSettingHashFlags to nm-connection.h, and rename it
NMConnectionSerializationFlags.
The fact that NMRemoteConnection has to be an NMConnection and
therefore can't be an NMObject means that it needs to reimplement bits
of NMObject functionality (and likewise NMObject needs some special
magic to deal with it). Likewise, we will need a daemon-side
equivalent of NMObject as part of the gdbus port, and we would want
NMSettingsConnection to be able to inherit from this as well.
Solve this problem by making NMConnection into an interface, and
having NMRemoteConnection and NMSettingsConnection implement it. (We
use some hacks to keep the GHashTable of NMSettings objects inside
nm-connection.c rather than having to be implemented by the
implementations.)
Since NMConnection is no longer an instantiable type, this adds
NMSimpleConnection to replace the various non-D-Bus-based uses of
NMConnection throughout the code. nm_connection_new() becomes
nm_simple_connection_new(), nm_connection_new_from_hash() becomes
nm_simple_connection_new_from_hash(), and nm_connection_duplicate()
becomes nm_simple_connection_new_clone().
