Summary: I had fixed some typos and wrong expressions, such as capital letters, $simbols in .eo and singulars in Ecore, Ecore_Audio, Ecore_Cocoa, Ecore_Con, and Ector API reference doxygen.

Since connman is specific to linux, on other platforms just compile a
dummy "none" backend that will always report online and no other
details. This will be used in Windows, MacOS and other platforms that
still lack a proper backend.
The compile-time infrastructure also allows for networkmanager to be
added with ease, simply copy "efl_net*-none.c" or "efl_net*-connman.c"
to be a starting point and then add its specifics, adapting
configure.ac and Makefile_Ecore_Con.am
These are objects to allow control of networking devices
(efl_net_control) as well as an application to request for
connectivity (efl_net_session).
They are loosely based on ConnMan.org, which we already use in
Enlightenment Window Manager via DBus access with Eldbus. However they
do not map 1:1 as the goal was to expose a viable subset of controls
but in a simple and general way, thus nome strings were converted to
enums, some arrays of strings were converted to bitwise flags, some
names were made more general, such as "service" was turned into
"access point" so it doesn't generate confusion with other "network
services" (ie: http server), or "favorite" that was renamed to
"remembered". Some behavior are slightly different (yet able to be
implemented on top), such as "Service.MoveBefore" and "MoveAfter" were
converted to a numeric "priority", calculated from service's list
index, changing the priority will reoder the list and thus generate
the MoveBefore and MoveAfter DBus commands.
ConnMan was chosen not only because we already use it, but because its
DBus API is sane and simple, with the server doing almost all that we
need. This is visible in the efl_net_session, which is completely done
in the server and do not require any extra work on our side -- aside
from talking DBus and converting to Eo, which is a major work :-D
NOTE: ConnMan doesn't use FreeDesktop.Org DBus interfaces such as
Properties and ObjectManager, thus we cannot use
eldbus_model_object.
There are two examples added:
- efl_net_session_example: monitors the connection available for an
application and try to connect. You need a connman compiled with
session_policy_local and a configuration file explained in
https://github.com/aldebaran/connman/blob/master/doc/session-policy-format.txt
to get a connection if nothing is connected. Otherwise it will just
monitor the connectivity state.
- efl_net_control_example: monitors, plays the agent and configure
the network details. It can enable/disable technologies, connect to
access points (services) and configure them. It's quite extensive
as allows testing all of ConnMan's DBus API except P2P (Peers).
