checkpoint: allow resetting the rollback timeout via D-Bus
This allows to adjust the timeout of an existing checkpoint. The main usecase of checkpoints, is to have a fail-safe when configuring the network remotely. By allowing to reset the timeout, the user can perform a series of actions, and keep bumping the timeout. That way, the entire series is still guarded by the same checkpoint, but the user can start with short timeout, and re-adjust the timeout as he goes along. The libnm API only implements the async form (at least for now). Sync methods are fundamentally wrong with D-Bus, and it's probably not needed. Also, follow glib convenction, where the async form doesn't have the _async name suffix. Also, accept a D-Bus path as argument, not a NMCheckpoint instance. The libnm API should not be more restricted than the underlying D-Bus API. It would be cumbersome to require the user to lookup the NMCheckpoint instance first, especially since libnm doesn't provide an efficient or convenient lookup-by-path method. On the other hand, retrieving the path from a NMCheckpoint instance is always possible.
