[NS04] Introduce Network Offers and their callbacks
This patch introduces the concept of a network offer that providers send to Connectivity to register for relevant requests. This lets them see only requests that they can hope to satisfy considering their capabilities and score filters. This is meant to replace the filtering mechanism currently implemented by NetworkFactory. The reason for replacing this mechanism is that the old mechanism does caps and score filtering on the factory side, which requires these two filters to be contextless and available system-wide, including in separate processes from the system server. These constraints severely limit and complexify in particular what the score comparisons may look like. In the past the score comparison was only integer-based, making the code duplication not much of a problem, but as this scheme is becoming unsustainable by spreading the complexity of the selection across the entire stack, a centralized mechanism is now necessary. This patch only introduces the new objects and has CS keep track of them, but does not actually use them yet. Followup patches will implement the logic of calling the offer callbacks.
