The functionality of the ibft settings plugin is now handled by
nm-initrd-generator. There is no need for it anymore, drop it.
Note that ibft called iscsiadm, which requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN to work
([1]). We really want to drop this capability, so the current solution
of a settings plugin (as it is implemented) is wrong. The solution
instead is nm-initrd-generator.
Also, on Fedora the ibft was disabled and probably on most other
distributions as well. This was only used on RHEL.

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.

dhcpcd version 6, the first supporting IPv6, was released more than 5
years ago. Remove all checks on version number and IPv6 support.

At other places, we already use __BYTE_ORDER define to detect endianness.
We don't need multiple mechanisms.
Also note that meson did not do the correct thing as AC_C_BIGENDIAN,
so meson + nss + big-endian was possibly broken.
- always define the SESSION_TRACKING_* defines to replace
"#ifdef" with "#if".
- drop defining the consolekit database path CKDB_PATH in
config.h. The path was not customizable via configure/meson.
- fix meson build to enable consolekit support for session tracking
without also enabling logind/elogind session tracking.
logind/elogind is mutually exclusive, but consolekit session tracking
goes together just fine.
Supporting PolicyKit required no additional library, just extra code
to handle the D-Bus calls. For that, there was a compile time option
to even stip out that code. Note, that you could (and still can)
configure the system not to use policy-kit. The point was to reduce
the binary size in case you don't need it.
Remove this. I guess, we we aim for such aggressive optimization of
the binary size, we should instead make all device types disablable
at configuration time. We don't do that either and other low hanging
fruits, because it's better to always enable features, unless they
require external dependencies.
Also, the next commit will make more use of NMAuthManager. So, having
it disabled at compile time, makes even less sense.
netlink's API is stable, and strictly defined by the integer values that make
up commands and attributes. There is little reason do disable a netlink feature
based on compile time detection of the kernel headers.
Either kernel supports it, or it will fail with an appropriate response.
Also, support for NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START was merge to kernel
in 2013. Maybe, we should now just always assume support (in the kernel
headers is there). Anyway, don't do that yet, but instead avoid the
defines and use the numeric values directly.
