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).
We do need to specify which is the primary port being used for controlling the
modem. This allows us to match the device with an already existing bluetooth
device in NetworkManager.
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.
See the following NetworkManager commit for more reference:

Both the ModemManager daemon and the mmcli will now include `libmm-glib.h' only.
We also handle two new special `_LIBMM_INSIDE_MM' and `LIBMM_INSIDE_MMCLI'
symbols, which if included before the `libmm-glib.h' library allow us to:
* Don't include the libmm-glib high level API in the ModemManager daemon, as
the object names would clash with those in the core.
* Define some of the methods of helper objects to be included only if compiling
ModemManager daemon or the mmcli.
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.
