I took the patches from #35 and expanded on them. The original patches are applied first, with minimal changes (only rebasing). Follow-up commits are based on them. I propose this pull request to obsolete #35.

After rethinking, I think #35 needs to be solved a bit different, so I reworked NMDnsManager to track their data by ifindex (not by ifname), and reworked how the MDNS setting is passed to the DNS plugin.

Still totally untested :) Please review.

I wonder if NMSettingConnection is the right place for a mdns
property. Currently we put all DNS-related parameters in ipv4 and ipv6
settings, but we discussed the idea of moving them to a dedicated
'dns' setting because the parameters are not
IP-protocol-specific.

Maybe we could add now the new dns setting with the only property 'mdns'
and later add the other properties (servers, searches, options,
priority). Or we can put 'mdns' in the connection setting for now and
move it later, before 1.12 is released.

I have quickly looked at commits and the approach looks good to me. Can
you schedule a CI run to see if it breaks anything?

Just moving code around, no other changes.

Follow a certain prefered order of declarations
in source files.
When doing changes that affect multiple source files, it's more
convenient to build the parts that have less dependencies first.
So, to fix the build failures from the core outward.
Add support for mDNS as a connection-level property. Update ifcfg-rh and
keyfile plugins to support it.
Update nm-policy.c and nm-dns-manager.c so that the connection-specific
settings get propagated to DNS manger. Currently the only such value is
the mDNS status.

Add update_mdns() function to DNS plugin interface. If a DNS plugin
supports mDNS, it can set an interface with a given index to support
mDNS resolving or also register the current hostname.

The mDNS support is currently added only to systemd-resolved DNS plugin.
Also, keep the internal variable of type int. The only way to set the
field is via the GObject property setter. At that point, don't yet
cast the integer type to enum.
"UNKNOWN" is not a good name. If you don't set the property
in the connection explicitly, it should be "DEFAULT".

Also, make "DEFAULT" -1. For one, that ensures that the enum's
underlying integer type is signed. Otherwise, it's cumbersome
to test "if (mdns >= DEFAULT)" because in case of unsigned types,
the compiler will warn about the check always being true.
Also, it allows for "NO" to be zero. These are no strong reasons,
but I tend to think this is better.

Also, don't make the property of NMSettingConnection a CONSTRUCT property.
Initialize the default manually in the init function.

Also, order the numeric values so that DEFAULT < NO < RESOLVE < YES with
YES being largest because it enables *the most*.

Sometimes, we want to use CList to track a simple data item. But contrary
to GList/GSList, we need to define a structure to hold the data pointer
and the CList member.

Add a generic NMCListElem type that can be used for such simple uses.

Before you ask: why not use GList/GSList? Because even simple operations
like g_list_append() is O(n), which kinda defeats the purpose of having
a doubly linked list.

This code is added to a new header file nm-c-list.h, the reason is that
there is no other good place:
  - "nm-utils/c-list.h" is a clone of upstream, it should not deviate.
  - "nm-utils/c-list-util.h" contains our utils functions for c-list.h
    but should be plain C, independent of glib.
  - "nm-utils/nm-shared-utils.h" contains our glib related utilities,
    but it should not drag in "c-list.h".
So, "nm-c-list.h" is a utility libray that extends "c-list.h" and
requires glib.
A cmp() implementation, for sorting an array with pointers, where each
pointer is an inteter according to GPOINTER_TO_INT().

That cames for example handy, if you have a GHashTable with keys
GINT_TO_POINTER(). Then you get the list of keys via
g_hash_table_get_keys_as_array() and want to sort them.
Use a GHashTable instead of a GArray to construct the list of
@interfaces. Also, use NMCListElem instead of GList. With this,
the runtime is O(n*log(n)) instead of O(n^2).

I belive, we should take care that all our code has a reasonable
runtime complexity, even in common use-cases the number of elements
is small. This is not about performace, because likely we expect few
entries anyway, and the direct GArray implementation is likely faster
in those cases. It's about using the data structure that best suits the
access pattern.

The log(n) part comes from sorting the keys. I also believe we should
always aim for a stable behavior. When sending the D-Bus request to
resolved, the order of elements should be in ~some~ defined order.
We had two separate queues, one for "SetLinkDNS" and one for
"SetLinkDomains". Merge them into one, and track the operation
as part of the new RequestItem structure.

A visible change to before is that we now would make all requests
per-interface first. Prevously, we would first make all SetLinkDNS
requests (for all interfaces) and then all SetLinkDomains requests.
It feels more correct to order the requests this way, not by
type.

The reason to merge is, that we will next get another operation
and in the current scheme we would need 3 GQueue instances.

While at it, refactor the code to use CList. We now anyway would
need a new struct to track the operation, requiring to allocate
and free it. Previously, we would only track the GVariant argument
as data of the GQueue.
Next commit will unify naming of variables, do a trivial rename
first to make the diff smaller.

Don't track the per-device configuration in NMDnsManager by
the ifname, but by the ifindex. We should consistently treat
the ifindex as the ID of a link, like kernel does.

At the few places where we actually need the ifname, resolve
it by looking into the platform cache. That is not necessarily
the same as the ifname that is currently tracked by NMDevice,
because netdev interfaces can be renamed, and NMDevice updates
it's link properties delayed. However, the platform cache has
the most recent notion of the correct interface name for an
ifindex, so if we ever hit a race here, we do it now more
correctly.

This also temporarily drops support for mdns. Will be re-added next,
but differently.
The connection.mdns setting is a per-connection setting,
so one might expect that one activated device can only have
one MDNS setting at a time.

However, with certain VPN plugins (those that don't have their
own IP interface, like libreswan), the VPN configuration is merged
into the configuration of the device. So, in this case, there
might be multiple settings for one device that must be merged.

We already have a mechanism for that. It's NMIP4Config. Let NMIP4Config
track this piece of information. Although, stricitly speaking this
is not tied to IPv4, the alternative would be to introduce a new
object to track such data, which would be a tremendous effort
and more complicated then this.

Luckily, NMDnsManager and NMDnsPlugin are already equipped to
handle multiple NMIPConfig instances per device (IPv4 vs. IPv6,
and Device vs. VPN).

Also make "connection.mdns" configurable via global defaults in
NetworkManager.conf.

When NM is restarted and a new object-manager is created, ensure that
signal handlers are disconnected from the old one.
