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:

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.
When receiving an SMS, if the encoding is either GSM7 or UCS2, we will treat the
contents of the SMS as text; and if the encoding is either 8BIT or unknown, we
will just dump the contents of the SMS as data.
When creating an SMS, the user is not allowed to give both text and data, only
one can be given. We will use by default 8BIT when data is given, and guess the
best encoding if text is given.
Note that it's still possible to have SMS with neither text nor data, as in
delivery status reports.
This commit also handles the split of the input data in order to make it fit
into singlepart or multipart messages.
There is no point in specifying a default 'mem1' memory storage, which is used
for reading/listing/deleting, as those are operations that need a specific
'mem1' set each time.
Also, there is no point in specifying separate default 'mem2' and 'mem3' memory
storages, specially because now we allow Sms.Store() to specify a storage.
So, we will now only have a 'default' memory storage, which is applicable for
both 'mem2' and 'mem3' (storing, sending from storage and deleting).
Different ports of the same modem may get handled by different drivers. We
therefore need to provide a list of drivers (new `Modem.Drivers' property with
signature 'as') instead of just one (removed `Modem.Driver' property with
signature 's').
$ sudo mmcli -m 0 | grep drivers
| drivers: 'qcserial, qmi_wwan'
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.
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.
Equivalent to `PinRetryCount' in the previous API. We don't have an additional
property for the retry count of the current lock, as it really is duplicating
information.
To make things neater, sort the files listed in instrospection's Makefile
alphabetically, and sort the files listed in all.xml alphabetically within
logical groups.

Making clients pass the raw GSM PDU value isn't very useful
since it's not exactly trivial to create programmatically.
Instead, let's make validity be units of 5 minutes and MM
will automatically figure out how to map that to the PDU
value.
There's no encoding information about 8-bit SMS messages,
and they are often binary things like ringtones or voicemail
indicator commands. Since there's no point to our parsing
them just let clients deal with it.
The property EnabledFacilityLocks on the .Modem.Gsm.Card interface
is a bit mask that indicates which of the various personalization
codes from 3GPP TS 22.022, plus the SIM PIN lock and SIM PIN2 lock,
are enabled. The set of facility locks supported by the modem is
determined at the time the modem is initialized, and the state of
each supported lock (enabled or disabled) is determined. When the
state of a lock changes, a property-change signal is sent out. Note
that ModemManager only supports enabling and disabling SIM-PIN, via
the EnablePin method on Modem.Gsm.Card.
Added a PinRetryCounts property on org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem.
This is dictionary that records the number of PIN tries remaining
for each of the possible PIN code types for which the modem is
capable of reporting the count. Also, these counts are kept up
to date across ChangePin and EnablePin operations, not just when
an unlock is attempted.
