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.

gsm: fall back to +CSQ if +CIND reports no signal (bgo #636040)
Some devices say they support +CIND signal reporting, but either
actually don't, or they report signal for a non-current access
technology that we don't care about. So if +CIND reports zero
signal, fall back to +CSQ.
Instead of just the exact 'Build ID' we now also allow specifying a substring
of the 'PRI info' as ID to select a the new firmware to change to.
If we get multiple matches of the substring in the existing Firmware images
the change is cancelled with error.
Soo... we can now switch firmware images directly from ModemManager, taking care
of completely rebooting the modem directly.
The new image to select needs to be specified by the 'unique-id' currently,
which maps to the 'Build ID' reported in QMI for PRI and MODEM images.
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.
The Firmware interface was highly based on 'slots' to identify the existing
firmware images; but that doesn't fit very well with the initial implementation
of the Firmware interface in QMI-based modems. In these modems the 'storage
index' is a property which is not available in all types of images (e.g. 'PRI'
images don't have it).
Therefore, instead of using a unique 'slot' identifier we'll just use the
'name' of the firmware as unique ID.
Also, currently skip the handling of 'available' images, and the method to
'Install()' new images, at least until we have one implementation defining what
to do with those.
