Before this change, supports check was either synchronous (e.g. in some
UNSUPPORTED cases) or asynchronous (when IN_PROGRESS was returned).
With this fix, the supports check requested to the plugin will always be
completed asynchronously; either directly in an idle before launching any real
probing operation, or once the probing operation is finished.
Therefore, it is not expected to get a IN_PROGRESS reply in
mm_plugin_supports_port_finish(), only UNSUPPORTED|SUPPORTED|DEFERRED.
While porting to GDBus, use opaque pointers. This allows us to include either a
DBusGMethodInvocation or a GDBusMethodInvocation in the 'context' pointer.
Once fully ported to GDBus, we can safely change it back to make the context be
a GDBusMethodInvocation.
Also removed the MMSerialError implementation from `src/mm-errors.[h|c]', as it
is now included in the new `include/ModemManager-errors.h' header file. All the
other enums and errors without clashing names will be ported afterwards to the
new base code.
The code to handle the Enums and Flags type information is automatically built
with `glib-mkenums' and the new templates kept under `build-aux'.
Note: We currently skip the type information of `MMModemBand'. GFlagsValue
can hold only 32-bit types, and we're working with a 64-bit flag here.

This library will not (probably) be installable, but will share the GDBus
and new Enum/Flag/Error type support between the core daemon and the new
libmm-glib library.
Keep the Bearer interface out of the 'Modem' subtree in the interface hierarchy,
as it will be specific for Bearer objects, not implemented by Modem objects.
Keep the SMS interface out of the 'Modem' subtree in the interface hierarchy,
as it will be specific for SMS objects, not implemented by Modem objects.
The Scan() method returns an array of dictionaries, where each dictionary is
defined by a string key plus a variant data (not a string data). This is to
handle the "status" and "access-tech" entries, which are given as unsigned
integers.
Make port roles more flexible. We have modems that do PPP
on interfaces other than the primary interface, and that
wasn't possible with the old code. So clean up all that
logic and move the port organization code into the core
so we can reduce code in the plugins.
In the new world order, the plugins say whether the port
is a QCDM port, an AT port, or ignored. If it's an AT
port the plugins get to tag it as primary, secondary, or
PPP, or any combination of the 3. This allows for modems
where PPP should really be done on the secondary port
(Huawei E220, Sierra devices) so that the primary port
stays open for command and status.
Modem subclasses no longer get asked to handle port grabbing
themselves. Instead, that's now done by the generic classes
(MMGenericCdma and MMGenericGsm) and the plugins are notified
when a port is grabbed so they can add unsolicited response
handlers for it. After all ports are grabbed by the generic
classes, they get "organized", which assigns various ports
to the roles of PRIMARY, SECONDARY, DATA, and QCDM based
on specific rules and hints that the plugin provided (which
are expressed as MMAtPortFlags). The plugins then have
a chance to perform fixups on the primary port if they choose.
The plugin code is responsible for determining the port
hints (ie MMAtPortFlags) at probe time, instead of having
a combination of the plugin and the modem class do the
job. This simplifies things greatly for the plugins at
the expense of more complicated logic in the core.
