I dislike the static hash table to cache the integer counter for
numbered paths. Let's instead cache the counter at the class instance
itself -- since the class contains the information how the export
path should be exported.

However, we cannot use a plain integer field inside the class structure,
because the class is copied between derived classes. For example,
NMDeviceEthernet and NMDeviceBridge both get a copy of the NMDeviceClass
instance. Hence, the class doesn't contain the counter directly, but
a pointer to one counter that can be shared between sibling classes.
