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.

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.
Before this, we only exported the modem to DBus when all ports were organized,
in order to make sure that we select as primary port the one we really want and
not the first AT port grabbed. Given that to get all the ports organized we also
needed to wait to get all the ports grabbed, we can now also defer the creation
of the modem object until all the ports get grabbed. This allows us to create
different types of objects based on the ports available (e.g. we can now create
QMI-supported modem objects if we see a QMI port around).
Modems which end up being found unusable (e.g. no SIM, fatal SIM error, no
capabilities) will be exposed in DBus, but just with the Modem interface and
in a FAILED state which allows no actions.
We need to define a state to be used while the modem is being initialized, so
that we forbid any operation on the modem on already exported interfaces, while
there are interfaces pending to get exported.
This Initializing state will also cover the state between having the SIM
unlocked (which launches re-initialization) and being completely initialized.
Lets operations specify that they cannot be run currently, but that the caller
may retry later. Of course, it depends on the caller to really honour the
retry-later suggestion.
We don't want to handle bands as flags, in order to avoid the need of 64-bits
for the enum. This change implies that setting allowed bands will be done by
giving an array of uint32 values, signature "au".
To be returned when we try to send an AT command to a modem, but there is no
usable AT port available, as the primary port is connected (hence the name)
and there is no secondary port.
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.
