This prevents errors due to nasty typos in the strings.
We define all symbols in a single header file that is NOT considered
part of the API, as there is no need for MM clients to know about
these tags code-wise. These tags are only meaningful when associated
to devices in udev.
Information of each tag is included in the general API documentation.

Sometimes SUPL-server based A-GPS is not possible, e.g. if the module
doesn't have Internet connectivity. In such cases, the modem may
support injecting additional "assistance data" that may be downloaded
from the Internet using external means (e.g. WiFi), in order to keep
having a quick time to first fix.
We now support using this location assistance data, with the following
new API elements:
* A new mask of supported assistance data types is provided in the
SupportedAssistanceData property.
* A new list of URLs from where the aassistance data may be
downloaded is also provided in a new AssistanceDataServers
property.
* A new InjectAssistanceData() method is provided, to perform the
data injection in the module once it's been downloaded to the host
system.
The UE modes of operation for LTE are defined in 3GPP TS 24.301 (e.g.
section 4.3 in v10.3.0):
* PS mode 1: EPS only, 'voice centric'
* PS mode 2: EPS only, 'data centric'
* CS/PS mode 1: EPS and non-EPS, 'voice centric'
* CS/PS mode 2: EPS and non-EPS, 'data centric'
The mode specifies, among other things, how the UE should behave w.r.t
CS fallback depending on the capabilities reported by the network.
When this symbol is defined, e.g. via CFLAGS, building a program that
uses the ModemManager API will fail if the program references
deprecated symbols.
For now we just use it to keep gtk-doc-scan happy and avoid
unnecessary warnings.
Using an intermediate constant variable breaks compilation with C
compilers, as these variables cannot be used as initializers.
Instead, define a deprecated type and cast all deprecated symbols to
that type. We lose the information about what the new replacement
symbol is, but we don't break compilation.
E.g.:
test.c: In function ‘main’:
test.c:8:5: warning: ‘MMModemBandDeprecated’ is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
printf ("band: %d\n", MM_MODEM_BAND_U2100);
^~~~~~
Those Roman numeral suffixes in MM_MODEM_BAND_EUTRAN_* were replaced
with 1, 2, 3, ..., etc. This patch adds a compatibility header,
ModemManager-compat.h, to alias the old MM_MODEM_BAND_EUTRAN_* values to
the new values.
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)'

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).
For bearers using STATIC or DHCP IP method, the modem itself is the one
negotiating authentication with the network. The new `allowed-auth' property
allows users to specify which authentication method(s) are allowed to be used.

It's pointless to have libmm-common around, just merge it into libmm-glib and
make ModemManager depend on libmm-glib directly. At the end, the non-common
stuff in libmm-glib is really minimal.
Instead of using a predefined set of string values for 'ip-type' in
Modem.CreateBearer() and Simple.Connect(), we'll use an enumeration. The
implementation will then need to convert the requested IP family type to e.g.
the correct PDP type in 3GPP modems.
This change also consolidates the use of enums in dictionary properties when
possible to do so, as with the Rm Protocol.
Plugins may specify that specific vendor & product IDs or strings are not
supported. This is useful when plugins need to specify that they support
all devices of a given vendor except for some specific ones.
