networkmanager: upgrade 1.52.2 -> 1.56.0

Create path to fix `meson` build errors

Add missing dependencies.

Disables man page generation. The build was using xsltproc to try
downloading http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
from the network, which fails in embedded build environments.

Changelog:

v1.56.0
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/blob/1.56.0/NEWS?ref_type=tags

  Changed:
  - Unify the versioning to use everywhere the scheme with the -rcX or -dev
    suffixes when appropriate. This affects, for example, the URL and filename
    of the release tarball and the version reported by nmcli and the daemon.
    As an exception, the C API will continue to use the 90+ scheme for RC versions.
  - nmcli now supports viewing and managing WireGuard peers.
  - Support reapplying the "sriov.vfs" property as long as
    "sriov.total-vfs" is not changed.
  - Support reapplying "bond-port.vlans".
  - Accept hostnames longer than 64 characters from DNS lookup.
  - Make that global-dns configuration overwrites DNS searches and
    options from connections, instead of merging all together.
  - Add support for a new rd.net.dhcp.client-id option in
    nm-initrd-generator.
  - Add gsm device-uid setting to restrict the devices the connection applies to.
  - Support configuring the HSR protocol version via the
    "hsr.protocol-version" property.
  - Fix a bug that makes broadband connections auto-connect getting
    blocked if the connection tries to reconnect when modem status is
    "disconnecting" / "disconnected".
  - Treat modem connection not having an operator code available
    as a recoverable error.
  - Add support for configuring systemd-resolved's DNSSEC option
    per-connection via the "connection.dnssec" connection property.
  - Support configuring the HSR interlink port via the
    "hsr.interlink" property.
  - Fix some connection properties not being applied to vpn connections
    (connection.mdns, connection.llmnr, connection.dns-over-tls,
    connection.mptcp-flags, ipv6.ip6-privacy)
  - Update n-acd to always compile with eBPF enabled, as support
    for eBPF is now detected at run time.
  - Add new MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint type, and set it by default alongside
    the 'subflow' one.
  - For private connections (the ones that specify a user in the
    "connection.permissions" property), verify that the user can access
    the 802.1X certificates and keys set in the connection.
  - Introduce a libnm function that can be used by VPN plugins to check
    user permissions on certificate and keys.

v1.54.0
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/blob/1.54.0/NEWS?ref_type=tags

  Changed:
  - Add support for configuring per-device IPv4 forwarding via the
    "ipv4.forwarding" connection property.
  - Add a new "prefix-delegation" setting containing a "subnet-id"
    property that specifies the subnet to choose on the downstream
    interface when using IPv6 prefix delegation.
  - Support OCI baremetal in nm-cloud-setup
  - When activating a WireGuard connection to an IPv6 endpoint, now
    NetworkManager creates firewall rules to ensure that the incoming
    packets are not dropped by kernel reverse path filtering.
  - Add support for configuring the loopback interface in nmtui.
  - Most of the properties of ovs-bridge and ovs-port connections can
    now be reapplied at runtime without bringing the connection down.
  - Add a new "sriov.preserve-on-down" property that controls whether
    NetworkManager preserves the SR-IOV parameters set on the device
    when the connection is deactivated, or whether it resets them to
    their default value.
  - Introduce a new "ovs-dpdk.lsc-interrupt" property to configure the
    Link State Change (LSC) detection mode for OVS DPDK interfaces.
  - The initrd-generator now can parse the NVMe Boot Firmware Table
    (NBFT) to configure networking during early boot.
  - Add systemd services to provide networking in the initrd.

+Subject: [PATCH] meson: fix cross-compilation issues
+
+Strip newline from GI_TYPELIB_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+run_command().stdout() returns the raw shell output including a trailing
+newline. When the value is used to build a colon-separated path, the newline
+gets embedded at the end of the last path component, making the directory
+invalid and causing GObject Introspection to fail with:
+
+  ImportError: Typelib file for namespace 'Gio', version '2.0' not found
+
+Use .strip() to remove leading/trailing whitespace from both env variable
+reads.
+
+Fix jansson SONAME detection for cross-compilation
+When cross-compiling, jansson's pkg-config 'libdir' variable returns a
+path relative to the sysroot (e.g., /usr/lib) without the actual sysroot
+prefix.  The host readelf binary cannot find the library at that path.
+
+Fix this by using meson.get_external_property('sys_root', '') to obtain
+the sysroot path set by the cross-compilation environment and prepend it
+to the library path before calling readelf.
