Setting the date manually should be disabled when using NTP, but
the "Network Time" setting is not taken into account when updating
sensitivities after permission changes. As a result, the date is
always editable after unlocking the panel - to fix, take the NTP
setting into account on permission changes.

The libcolord async API used to use a thread to get the properties for the
device and profiles in the background.
This was racy as hell, and was not good API design. Connect to each device and
profiles explicitly before we access the properties.
Search for printers on address given by user using CUPS's SNMP backend.
This modification typically finds network printers publishing themselves
on port 9100.
We warn if there is no connection to the internet (questionable
to create a hotspot in that case) or if creating the hotspot
would drop the default connection to the internet (ditto).
Dan recommends that we do not discriminate between WPA and WPA2,
so we don't have to bother with showing multiple strings at all
anymore, it is just None or WEP or WPA now.
This is an implementation of network sharing (aka 'Hotspot').
The new 'Use as hotspot' button lets you use a wifi device
as a hotspot for sharing network connections with others.
Currently, the panel generates a ssid based on the hostname,
sets the security to WEP, and generates a random key. These
parameters can be edited afterwards.
It is currently not possible to show how many connections
are using the hotspot. Apart from this, the implementation
is pretty much complete.
Due to size allocation changes in GTK+, wrapping labels without
a minimal width now become very high. So we need to set a reasonable
width-chars value to ensure the label shows up.
Some systems seem to disallow them in usernames, but more
importantly, the proposals look just wrong for abbreviated
middle initials with a period.

This is designed so power users can create virtual devices (just like in
ColorSync) that represent things like 'Hexachrome Press #2' or 'Cinema'.
This new UI isn't actually wired up yet, and there are no new UI controls as
the UI still needs love from the designers.
This was added at this point for two reasons:
1. To get the translations early so we can enable this later
2. To be able to delete the code out of gcm-prefs.c
Instead of handrolled, copy-pasted async code for talking to
the date-time-mechanism, use gdbus-codegen to generate one
that looks nicer and is just all-around better.
