Standard GPS setup (raw/nmea) will both enable the GPS module and take full
control of the GPS port. This prevents other processes from reading the NMEA
traces from e.g. a tty. In order to handle this, a new 'unmanaged' GPS location
source is introduced, which will just enable/disable the GPS module, without
reading anything from the GPS port. Of course, both raw/nmea and unmanaged
setups cannot be enabled at the same time.
We will expose a new 'Ports' property listing all ports currently known by a
given modem. Ports which are not used but are detected as being part of the
modem will be listed with an 'unknown' port type.
This change uses the new 'MMModemPortType' enum and the new 'MMModemPortInfo'
helper struct to handle these values in libmm-glib. The already available
'MMPortType' enum hasn't been re-used for the interface because it contains
values that we don't need (e.g. IGNORED).
The port list is now also included in the modem information command of mmcli:
$ sudo mmcli -m 0
/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/0 (device id '97b7b99e3e2bea103880545b619fb05a3cc81b26')
-------------------------
System | device: '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.4'
| drivers: 'qcserial, qmi_wwan'
| plugin: 'Gobi'
| primary port: 'cdc-wdm0'
| ports: 'ttyUSB0 (qcdm), ttyUSB1 (at), cdc-wdm0 (qmi), wwp0s29u1u4 (net)'

We won't allow changing modes or bands through Simple.Connect(). Applications
should instead look at the corresponding SupportedBands or SupportedModes, and
then use SetCurrentBands() or SetCurrentModes() explicitly.
And also make it a list of masks, specifying which are the specific combinations
supported, not just one mask with all.
E.g.:
-------------------------
Hardware | manufacturer: 'Sierra Wireless, Incorporated'
| model: 'MC7710'
| revision: 'SWI9200X_03.05.19.04ap r5475 carmd-en-10527 2012/09/17 17:57:14'
| supported: 'gsm-umts
| gsm-umts, lte'
| current: 'gsm-umts, lte'
| equipment id: '358178040668164'
We now have a single 'CurrentModes' property which contains both values in a
tuple with signature "(uu)".
Also, rename 'SetAllowedModes()' to 'SetCurrentModes()', and update the list of
arguments expected to have a single "(uu)" tuple.
These diagrams are not expected to change much, so just include the generated
PNGs in the repository, and remove 'dia' from the prerequisites to build the
documentation.
We don't want to support only 'relative' validity, so don't assume that the
Validity property will always be a uint32 value.
Instead, we define the Validity propery as '(uv)' tuple, where the first value
(a MMSmsValidityType) specifies the type of validity, and the second value is
a variant formatted accordingly to what the validity type specifies (e.g. a
uint32 value if the type is MM_SMS_VALIDITY_TYPE_RELATIVE).
