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.)

Bond, bridge, and VLAN devices may not actually exist until their
connections are brought up. So for those types, create device items
(of type NetVirtualDevice or a subclass) as soon as we see the
NMConnection, and then watch for the NMDevice being added later.

This code is fairly independent of the rest, and we don't want
net-device-wifi.c to become too massive and unmaintainable.
The code in connection-editor/ is fairly similar to
nm-connection-editor, with some simplification because we
currently only edit wireless connections.
The code in wireless-security/ is almost a straight copy
of the same code in nm-connection-editor, with some changes
to the .ui files to make them fit better in the new design.
This makes loading faster, with less I/O, avoids unnecessary
code duplication (around 1k lines shaved), and ensures that
all the panels link and work appropriately.
By the same token, it will stop external panels from being
created, and loaded.

And not just wireless. We need to use /dev/rfkill directly
to make sure that all the devices (3G, GPS, Bluetooth, etc.) get
switched off correctly when airplane mode is on.

Conflicts:
panels/network/cc-network-panel.c
Rename NetDeviceWired to NetDeviceEthernet, but split out most of the
code into a new NetDeviceSimple superclass that can later be used for
other device types that we provide only minimal UI/support for.

A source file with 4k lines of code is not understandable, and the glade file
was becoming quite a challenge for glade.
To add more features we need to split things up just to keep them maintainable.
This is the first patch that just splits out the proxy bits. Other device types
will follow in the next few days.
When invoked with certain arguments, show the wireless and 3g
dialogs from libnm-gtk. Previously they were provided by nm-applet,
but now gnome-shell conflicts with it and it makes sense anyway
to have one place for network configuration. Also added a "show-device"
command, that just selects a device in the tree view.
