We no longer add these. If you use Emacs, configure it yourself.

Also, due to our "smart-tab" usage the editor anyway does a subpar
job handling our tabs. However, on the upside every user can choose
whatever tab-width he/she prefers. If "smart-tabs" are used properly
(like we do), every tab-width will work.

No manual changes, just ran commands:

    F=($(git grep -l -e '-\*-'))
    sed '1 { /\/\* *-\*-  *[mM]ode.*\*\/$/d }'     -i "${F[@]}"
    sed '1,4 { /^\(#\|--\|dnl\) *-\*- [mM]ode/d }' -i "${F[@]}"

Check remaining lines with:

    git grep -e '-\*-'

The ultimate purpose of this is to cleanup our files and eventually use
SPDX license identifiers. For that, first get rid of the boilerplate lines.

From the files under "shared/nm-utils" we build an internal library
that provides glib-based helper utilities.

Move the files of that basic library to a new subdirectory
"shared/nm-glib-aux" and rename the helper library "libnm-core-base.la"
to "libnm-glib-aux.la".

Reasons:

 - the name "utils" is overused in our code-base. Everything's an
   "utils". Give this thing a more distinct name.

 - there were additional files under "shared/nm-utils", which are not
   part of this internal library "libnm-utils-base.la". All the files
   that are part of this library should be together in the same
   directory, but files that are not, should not be there.

 - the new name should better convey what this library is and what is isn't:
   it's a set of utilities and helper functions that extend glib with
   funcitonality that we commonly need.

There are still some files left under "shared/nm-utils". They have less
a unifying propose to be in their own directory, so I leave them there
for now. But at least they are separate from "shared/nm-glib-aux",
which has a very clear purpose.

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.

We need this for a little little longer :(

For better or worse, we already pull in large parts of systemd sources.

I need a base64 decode implementation (because glib's g_base64_decode()
cannot reject invalid encodings). Instead of coming up with my own or
copy-paste if from somewhere, reuse systemd's unbase64mem().

But for that, make systemd's basic bits an independent static library
first because I will need it in libnm-core.

This doesn't really change anything except making "libnm-systemd-core.la"
an indpendent static library that could be used from "libnm-core". We
shall still be mindful about which internal code of systemd we use, and only
access functionality that is exposed via "systemd/nm-sd-utils-shared.h".

"nm-logging.c" now no longer depends on anything particularly special
from NM core.
