This means NetObject is now obsolete and can be removed.
There was a GtkSizeGroup that the mobile settings used, but it isn't clear if
this is still relevant. It should be added back later if found to be (this code
is likely to be removed to make way for a dedicated mobile panel).
The Network panel uses a GtkNotebook internally to manage
the different setup pages of the network devices. While it
does the job, we now have a modern widget for that: GtkStack.
With GtkStack, managing the pages becomes a lot easier and
we gain almost for free the nice transition between pages,
besides of course being a widget that consumes slightly less
resources.
Besides all these gains, using a GtkStack will allow us to
implement the new Wi-Fi panel in a more cohesive manner,
sharing large portions of code and avoiding copy pasta.
This commit then turns the GtkNotebook into a GtkStack, and
renames and adapts the code to reflect that. Fortunately,
the code got actually simpler with the move.

We also remove support for WiMAX (now unsupported by NetworkManager),
and InfiniBand (Enterprise feature), and the use of
the deprecated NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_SEC property.
With help from network-manager-applet patches by Jiří Klimeš and
Dan Winship.

And virtual devices. Again, listening on the long-lasting client
object but expecting the user_data (the object) to be around when
it might have been destroyed already.

There probably won't be a stable ModemManager 0.7 release before GNOME
3.8, so make support for it optional
(Mostly based on Aleksander's original patch.)

When the network doesn't provide a valid text string with the current operator
name, try to guess it using either the 3GPP MCCMNC pair or with the CDMA SID.
Guessing is based on the Mobile Providers Database for which there is an API in
libnm-gtk (>= 0.9.7.995).
The same logic to guess operator name is used in gnome-shell.
The control-center will automatically detect whether the modems exposed by
NetworkManager are from the old or the new interface, and if they are from the
new one it will use the libmm-glib support to gather the required information
from them.
The new ModemManager1 interfaces are exposed by ModemManager >= 0.7; and provide
lots of new functionalities, like:
* Improved connection bearer handling (e.g. multiple bearers at the same time)
* Location support (GPS, LAC/CI, CDMA BS...)
* Full SMS support through the new 'Messaging' interface.
* ...
