Correct the spelling across the *entire* tree, including translations,
comments, etc. It's easier that way.
Even the places where it's not exposed to the user, such as tests, so
that we learn how is it spelled correctly.
Previously, the action was only passed as the first command line
argument to the dispatcher scripts. Now, also set it via the
"$NM_DISPATCHER_ACTION" environment variable.
The main purpose is to have a particular, nm-dispatcher specific
variable that is always set inside the dispatcher scripts.
For example, imagine you have a script that can be either called by
dispatcher or some other means (manually, or spawned via
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/11-dhclient). Then it might make
sense to differenciate from inside the script whether you are called
by nm-dispatcher. But previously, there was no specific environment
variable that was always set inside the dispatcher event. For example,
with the "hostname" action there are no other environment variables.
Now (with version 1.12), you can check for `test -n "$NM_DISPATCHER_ACTION"`.

This improves the HTML rendering.
But it also causes a lot of non-resolvable linkends warning when rendering a
separate manual pages into roff/mman. The messages are harmless, but still
a bit ugly.
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.
This way it's consistently used across all manual page without a need
for XSL templating.
Also, the entities file could in future possibly be used to template the
build-time configurables such as filesystem paths or bug tracker URL.
Bump NM version number to 1.2 and add the project name to non-XML
pages. Also, update the dates to the date of the last non-trivial
change and update their format to YYYY-MM-DD, as specified by 'man
man-pages'.
When a script is a symbolic link to the 'no-wait.d' subdirectory, the
dispatcher now schedules it immediately and in parallel with other
no-wait scripts.

Some out of tree drivers add Ethernet devices that are supposed to be managed
by other their tooling, e.g. VirtualBox or VMWare.
Rather than hardcoding their drivers (at least VirtualBox doesn't even set a
"driver" property in sysfs) or hardcoding a logic that identifies such devices
let's just add a possibility to blacklist them in udev. This makes it possible
for whoever who ships such a driver to ship rules that prevent NetworkManager
from managing the device itself.
Furthermore it makes it possible for the user with special needs leverage the
flexibility of udev rules to override the defaults. In the end the user can
decide to let NetworkManager manage default-unmanaged interfaces such as VEth
or turn on default-unmanaged for devices on a particular bus.
An udev rule for VirtualBox would look like this:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ENV{INTERFACE}=="vboxnet[0-9]*", ENV{NM_UNMANAGED}="1"
src/nm-dispatcher.c was passing the connection's D-Bus path to the
dispatcher, which was then ignoring it. Meanwhile,
test-dispatcher-envp was passing a fake D-Bus path with the wrong name
(which didn't actually matter since
nm_dispatcher_utils_construct_envp() ignored it anyway).
Fix it so that the path gets exposed as CONNECTION_DBUS_PATH, and
adjust the tests for that.
To ensure that NetworkManager does not block needlessly for events
which have no scripts, require scripts that respond to blocking
events to opt into the action.
Add single-letter options for --version, --no-daemon, --debug, and
--pid-file (and document them, as well as the existing single-letter
option for --help).

When run with --no-daemon, NM used to duplicate all syslog output to
stderr, for ease of debugging. But this meant it had to tell systemd
to ignore stderr, so you wouldn't get duplicated log entries. But that
meant we lost error messages that didn't go through nm_log. (eg,
g_warning()s and g_return_if_fail()s).
Fix this by making --no-daemon no longer duplicate syslog output to
stderr, and removing the "StandardError=null" from the systemd service
file. To get the old behavior, you can use --debug instead of
--no-daemon.

DocBook is not my favorite thing in the world, but it's
<lots-of-emphasis>far</lots-of-emphasis> saner than troff. Some style
parts cribbed from systemd.
This is preparatory work for actually improving the content of the
man pages.
