all: goodbye libnm-glib
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. https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/pull/308
