This ensures we access the socket as user who NM ran the auth-dialog for,
especially for system-wide connections where the connection does not
mention a user.
We also make sure we don't use the cached socket and user of a previous
connection attempt, because system-wide connections might be used by
different users.
This ensures that only certificates/private keys accessible by the
configured user are accessed and prevents attackers from misusing
other user's credentials.
Also removed setting NM_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED, which suppresses deprecation
warnings that were added with newer API versions, and
NM_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED, which warns if using functions added in newer
API versions, so we always build against the latest API available.
But we check explicitly for the required function so this works with
older NM versions and automatically will use it if the function is
backported.
Note that we can't use BUILD_FROM_FILE to read the temporary files as that
uses mmap() which SELinux policies prevent us from using at the location
these files are stored ([/var]/run/NetworkManager/cert/).
Fixes: CVE-2025-9615
This copies the AC_SEARCH_LIBS check from the main strongSwan
configure.ac.
When building networkmanager-strongswan with slibtool if fails.
ld: cannot find none: No such file or directory
ld: cannot find required: No such file or directory
This is because configure.ac uses AC_SEARCH_LIBS to find dlopen which
sets the value of $ac_cv_search_dlopen to 'none required' which then
gets set in DL_LIBS and passed to slibtool.
With GNU libtool it silently ignores the unknown arguments.

GTK4 does not support buttons at the bottom, so we put them in a header
bar, which is the preferred layout by current desktop environments. And
while it doesn't look ideal on older desktops, it also works with GTK3
and changing it avoids having to maintain multiple UI files.
Note that this layout is not supported by glade, so we generally can't
use it to edit the GUI anymore (it also doesn't support GTK4 in general).
The height of the dialog increased due to the recently added additional
fields for certificate selection and identities. On some screens the
fields to configure custom proposals were not visible anymore.
Together with less spacing on the top level GtkBox this change reduces
the height by about 80 pixels.
Fixes#3448.
The path '/usr/share/appdata' is deprecated as is the .appdata.xml
extension, files should be in installed in '/usr/share/metainfo' with
a .metainfo.xml extension.
According to the docs, the metainfo path should be well supported even
by older distros like Ubuntu 16.04.

On newer desktops the auth dialog is called with --external-ui-mode and
it seems that the password flag has to be set, otherwise the password is
not stored temporarily in the profile and passed to charon-nm (not sure
how this works exactly as need_secrets() is called multiple times even
after the password was already entered, only before doing so the last
time is the password available in that callback, but only if the flag
was set). This now also allows storing the password for the private key
with the profile.
Fixes#3428.
