This removes libnm-glib, libnm-glib-vpn, and libnm-util for good.
The it has been replaced with libnm since NetworkManager 1.0, disabled
by default since 1.12 and no up-to-date distributions ship it for years
now.
Removing the libraries allows us to:
* Remove the horrible hacks that were in place to deal with accidental use
of both the new and old library in a single process.
* Relief the translators of maintenance burden of similar yet different
strings.
* Get rid of known bad code without chances of ever getting fixed
(libnm-glib/nm-object.c and libnm-glib/nm-object-cache.c)
* Generally lower the footprint of the releases and our workspace
If there are some really really legacy users; they can just build
libnm-glib and friends from the NetworkManager-1.16 distribution. The
D-Bus API is stable and old libnm-glib will keep working forever.

The strings holding the names used for libraries have also been
moved to different variables. This way they would be less error
as these variables can be reused easily and any typing error
would be quickly detected.
There is an strange automake warning
Makefile.vapigen:49: warning: $(1) was already defined in condition TRUE, which includes condition ENABLE_VAPIGEN ...
Makefile.am:4: 'Makefile.vapigen' included from here
Makefile.glib:124: ... '$(1)' previously defined here
Makefile.am:1: 'Makefile.glib' included from here
when having
if ENABLE_VAPIGEN
include Makefile.vapigen
endif
That is worked around by removing the "if", which however
requires us to remove the error check in Makefile.vapigen.
Add --without-libnm-glib, for people who don't want to build the
legacy client libraries. When building with this option, dbus-glib and
libdbus are not required.
Defining G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings is useful for debugging, but it causes
the build to fail due to asserts during vapigen.
Unset G_DEBUG before calling vapigen.

Unbreak 'make -j' by declaring the dependency that exists between the
two generated vapi files (forcing building of the second one to wait
until after the first one has been built).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680374
This patch adds the autotools facilities to generate vapi files so that
libnm-util and libnm-glib can be consumed from Vala.
It depends on vapigen and it is a soft dependency.
