    core, libnm-glib: add NMDeviceGeneric
    
    Add NMDeviceGeneric, to provide generic support for unknown device
    types, and create NMDeviceGenerics for those devices that NM
    previously was ignoring. Allow NMSettingGeneric connections to be
    activated on (managed) NMDeviceGenerics.

Specific support for tun/tap is yet to be added.
