libnm: add NMSettingConnection:stable-id property

System Internals / NetworkManager - Thomas Haller [redhat.com] - 30 June 2016 01:29 UTC

This new property be used as token to generate stable-ids instead of the connection's UUID.

Later, this will be used by ipv6.addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy, ethernet.cloned-mac-address=stable, and wifi.cloned-mac-address=stable setting. Those generate stable addresses based on the connection's UUID, but allow to use the stable-id instead.

This allows multiple connections to generate the same addresses-- on the same machine, because in the above cases a machine dependant key is also hashed.
