All ports of the same modem reported by the kernel will all be associated with
a common 'uid' (unique id), which uniquely identifies the physical device. This
logic was already in place, what we do now is avoid calling it the 'sysfs
path' of the physical device, because we may not want to use that to identify
a device.
This logic now also enables the possibility of "naming" the modems in a unique
way by setting the "ID_MM_PHYSDEV_UID" property in the "usb_device" that owns
all the ports.
E.g. a custom device has 4 modems in 4 different USB ports. The device path of
each USB device will always be the same, so the naming rules could go like this:
$ vim /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/78-mm-naming.rules
ACTION!="add|change|move", GOTO="mm_naming_rules_end"
DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb4/4-1/4-1.5/4-1.5.1", ENV{ID_MM_PHYSDEV_UID}="USB-MODEM-1"
DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb4/4-1/4-1.5/4-1.5.2", ENV{ID_MM_PHYSDEV_UID}="USB-MODEM-2"
DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb4/4-1/4-1.5/4-1.5.3", ENV{ID_MM_PHYSDEV_UID}="USB-MODEM-3"
DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb4/4-1/4-1.5/4-1.5.4", ENV{ID_MM_PHYSDEV_UID}="USB-MODEM-4"
LABEL="mm_naming_rules_end"
Each of the modems found will have a unique UID retrieved from the previous list
of rules. Then, "mmcli" has also been updated to allow using the UID instead of
the modem DBus path or index, e.g.:
$ sudo mmcli -m USB-MODEM-1
/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/0 (device id '988d83252c0598f670c2d69d5f41e077204a92fd')

This patch makes declarations bind to definitions within the same module
to prevent the potential ambiguity if referenced directly.
AddressSanitizer think they violated one definition rule, although
those symbols are accessed by address through their modules and do
not depend on the order of the libararies loaded.
