When trying to compile glib master on a RHEL 6.2 system, it fails with:

sa_family_t is defined in sys/socket.h, this commit makes sure this header is included before netlink.h
This fixes bgo bug #666001
Add GNetworkMonitor and its associated extension point, provide a base
implementation that always claims the network is available, and a
netlink-based implementation built on top of that that actually tracks
the network state.
