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.
We can't actually see the new connections for the other types, and so it's deceptive at best
to allow the user to create anything other than the VPN connection type.
If you choose Automatic and then don't fill in any configuration URL, it
defaults to WPAD.
But really, WPAD is a bad default anyway; if you enable it on an untrusted
network, then anyone else on that network can tell your machine that it should
proxy all of your web traffic through them.
The best bet might be to just add some explanatory text to the (otherwise
nearly-empty) Automatic page.

Strip out an extra label between the device list and the right side
to win some space, and force the right-hand sides on the proxy tab
to not change size.

When a device is unavailable / off, we show only the hardware address.
Otherwise, we show speed / security / ssid.
Other connection parameters are only shown when the connection is active.
Remove the ID parameter from the model, and move it to the NetDevice object.
Remove the devices GPtrArray and use the mode for everything.
Connect up the changed and deleted signals from NetObject and DTRT in the UI.
In the short term, cheat by bringing up nm-connection-editor.
In the future, we will do something better here.
The newly created connections do net get picked up in the list
of devices/connections yet.
In the short term, we cheat here by bringing up nm-connection-editor
for an individual connection. This will be replaced by something
better in the future.
Make the wireless network combo focusable, but not editable.
Make all the proxy labels right-aligned and equal size.
There is still an overall size problem with the proxy page.
