all: use nm_clear_pointer() instead of g_clear_pointer()

g_clear_pointer() would always cast the destroy notify function
pointer to GDestroyNotify. That means, it lost some type safety, like

   GPtrArray *ptr_arr = ...

   g_clear_pointer (&ptr_arr, g_array_unref);

Since glib 2.58 ([1]), g_clear_pointer() is also more type safe. But
this is not used by NetworkManager, because we don't set
GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED to 2.58.

We have nm_clear_pointer() to avoid this issue for a long time (pre
1.12.0). Possibly we should redefine in our source tree g_clear_pointer()
as nm_clear_pointer(). However, I don't like to patch glib functions
with our own variant. Arguably, we do patch g_clear_error() in
such a manner. But there the point is to make the function inlinable.

Also, nm_clear_pointer() returns a boolean that indicates whether
anything was cleared. That is sometimes useful. I think we should
just consistently use nm_clear_pointer() instead, which does always
the preferable thing.

Replace:

   sed 's/\<g_clear_pointer *(\([^;]*\), *\([a-z_A-Z0-9]\+\) *)/nm_clear_pointer (\1, \2)/g' $(git grep -l g_clear_pointer) -i
