Pushed by lukas into branch 'nm09'.
add the missing device::activeConnection DBUS method
using this, we have a perfect reverse mapping from
device -> active connection -> connection settings
We could imho use this to simplify a lot of code, what do you think?

Is this a new property in NM-0.9 specification? There is no mention of
this property in NetworkManager-0.8.999/introspection/nm-device.xml nor in
http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/migrating-to-09/spec.html.
There is an ActiveConnections property in
NetworkManager-0.8.999/introspection/nm-manager.xml which we already support.

ml. There is an ActiveConnections property in
NetworkManager-0.8.999/introspection/nm-manager.xml which we already support.

Answering my own question it is indeed new, 0.8.9997 includes this
property. I will upgrade the nm09 branch to require this version to compile.
We can use this property in interface details widget to get the details about
VPN connections. I do not see anywhere else we could use it, can you give me
more examples where we could use it? I am not saying that it is has no use,
just does not come to my mind now where else we could use it.
