First, consider all devices and not only realized and managed ones
when an empty list is passed. Also, move the list evaluation to the
checkpoint manager, since the check for device conflicts is done
there.

Support 3 new flags for Reload:
- 0x01 (CONF): reload the configuration from disk
- 0x02 (DNS_RC): write DNS configuration to resolv.conf
- 0x04 (DNS_FULL): restart DNS plugin
Omitting all flags is the same as reloading everything, thus SIGHUP.
Add new Reload D-Bus command to reload NetworkManager configuration.
For now, this is like sending SIGHUP to the process. There are several
advantages here:
- it is guarded via PolicyKit authentication while signals
can only be sent by root.
- the user can wait for the reload to be complete instead of sending
an asynchronous signal. For now, we operation completes after
nm_config_reload() returns, but later we could delay the response
further until specific parts are fully reloaded.
- SIGHUP reloads everything including re-reading configuration from
disk while SIGUSR1 reloads just certain parts such as writing out DNS
configuration anew.
Now, the Reload command has a flags argument which is more granular
in selecting parts which are to be reloaded. For example, via
signals the user can:
1) send SIGUSR1: this writes out the DNS configuration to
resolv.conf and possibly reloads other parts without
re-reading configuration and without restarting the DNS plugin.
2) send SIGHUP: this reloads configuration from disk,
writes out resolv.conf and restarts the DNS plugin.
There is no way, to only restart the DNS plugin without also reloading
everything else.
Without this, the user cannot configure only certain logging domains
without touching them all.
E.g.
# nmcli general logging level DEBUG domains PLATFORM
will disable all non-PLATFORM domains.
Well, the user can do:
# nmcli general logging level INFO domains PLATFORM:DEBUG
# nmcli general logging level DEBUG domains ALL:INFO,PLATFORM
but in this case all non-PLATFORM domains are reset explicitly.
Now the user can:
# nmcli general logging level KEEP domains PLATFORM:DEBUG
# nmcli general logging level DEBUG domains ALL:KEEP,PLATFORM
which will only change the platform domain.
This will provide an extremely easy way for applications to find out
what type of connection the system is currently using. They might want
to do this to avoid using data if a phone is on a 3G connection, for
example.
Having this as a separate property provides at least two advantages:
1) it reduces code complexity for those wanting only this one simple
piece of information
2) we could allow access to this property (but nothing else) to
privilege-separated applications in the future
This patch adds the missing nm_active_connection_get_connection_type()
which was in the header file but never actually implemented.

Move the definition of NMManagerError to nm-errors, register it with
D-Bus, and verify in the tests that it maps correctly.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_INTERNAL gets renamed to NM_MANAGER_ERROR_FAILED for
consistency. NM_MANAGER_ERROR_UNMANAGED_DEVICE is dropped since that
name doesn't really describe the one place it was previously used in.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_SYSTEM_CONNECTION is dropped because it was't being
used. NM_MANAGER_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_CONNECTION_TYPE is dropped because
it can be replaced with an NM_CONNECTION_ERROR.
NM_MANAGER_ERROR_AUTOCONNECT_NOT_ALLOWED is turned into the more
generic NM_MANAGER_ERROR_CONNECTION_NOT_AVAILABLE.
Also, remove the <tp:possible-errors> sections from nm-manager.xml,
since they were completely out of date.
Port libnm-core/libnm to GDBus.
The NetworkManager daemon continues to use dbus-glib; the
previously-added connection hash/variant conversion methods are now
moved to NetworkManagerUtils (along with a few other utilities that
are now only needed by the daemon code).
When called with a connection path, activates that connection.
When called without a connection path, picks the best available
connection to activate for that device.
Doesn't work with VPN connections because they don't have devices.
Add properties to track the "primary" connection (ie, the active
connection with either the default route, or the route to the VPN with
the default route), and the active connection that is currently
activating, and likely to become the :primary-connection when it
completes.

NM_STATE_CONNECTED_SITE doesn't distinguish between "behind a captive
portal" and "limited network connectivity" (ie, connected to a router
that has lost its upstream connection). Add a new NMManager
:connectivity property to provide this information.
Also add a CheckConnectivity method, which can be used to force NM to
re-check the connectivity state, which could be called by a client
after it completed a portal login, or fixed a network problem.
Add a property on NMManager indicating that it is currently starting
up and activating startup-time/boot-time network connections.
"startup" is initially TRUE, and becomes FALSE once all NMDevices
report that they have no pending activity (eg, trying to activate,
waiting for a wifi scan to complete, etc). This is tracked via a new
NMDevice:has-pending-activity property, which is maintained partially
by the device itself, and partially by other parts of the code.
Allow clients to get a device by its IP interface name instead
of having to get the device list and iterate through each one,
and read the interface name to get what they want.
DISCONNECTING: the only active network connection is now being disconnected
LOCAL, SITE, GLOBAL: one-stop items for level of connectivity, which
we'll use to show when we think we're actually connected to the internet
or behind a captive portal or something
sleep, wake, StateChange, all deprecated in 0.8, are now removed.
sleep & wake are replaced with the Sleep() method, while
StateChange is replaced with the StateChanged signal which has
the same arguments.
Given connection details, complete the connection as well as possible
using the given specific object and device, add it to system
settings, and activate it all in one method.
Default to 'not allowed', distros that need backwards compatibility
can flip this to 'yes' if they need to. At this point, only power
management scripts should call these functions.
