    libnm-util: add 'may-fail' for IPv4 and IPv6 · 806b74db

    When this property is TRUE, IP configuration can continue as long
    as at least on IP configuration type succeeds.  This allows
    connections to networks where the user does not necessarily know
    whether the network supports IPv4 or IPv6 and does not require
    that both complete succesfully.
    
    Since most of the time the user doesn't really care what type
    of connectivity they have, as long as they have *some* connectivity,
    this allows better "Just Works" behavior as long as the system
    settings plugins and connection editors/applets use the right
    defaults.
    
    Suggested defaults for may-fail are:
    
    IPv4: no (ie, require IPv4 connectivity)
    IPv6: yes (ie, do not require IPv6 connectivity)
    
    Users who require a specific type of connectivity are probably
    knowlegable enough to check the box as needed for their network.
