Summary:
Eolian adds a per-class BETA guard (like EFL_UI_WIN_BETA) to any method tagged
as @beta. This means that any app (and the EFL code) wanting to use BETA features
has to enable them class by class, which is cumbersome.
This commit replaces the individual guards with the global EFL_BETA_API_SUPPORT
guard, so apps only need to define one symbol to access BETA features.
Any usage of the per-class guards has been removed from the EFL code and examples.
When building EFL the global guard is defined by configure, so all EFL methods
already have access to BETA API.
Efl_Core.h and Efl_Ui.h no longer define EFL_BETA_API_SUPPORT. Apps wanting to
use BETA API have to define this symbol before including any EFL header
(It has been added to the examples requiring it).
Test Plan:
make && make check && make examples still work, but there's a lot less #defines
in the code

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).
