Search-replace link_type by link_connector in this patch.
There are still variables, functions and other names using link_type in the patch.

For clarity, please add to the CONNECTOR_OTHER description that it also includes unknown connector types, i.e. physical connectors not yet defined in this list of connector types.
So CONNECTOR_NONE is only used like a NULL value, and not for any other purposes.
