The default setup uses a refresh time of 30s, which means that even if the GPS
location updates are received at a higher frequency, the DBus interface will
still expose at most one update every 30s.
This patch includes a new "SetGpsRefreshTime()" method in the Location
interface, which takes a single 'u' parameter, specifying the refresh rate to
use, in seconds. This method also allows 0 being passed, which will make the
implementation to publish the GPS location updates are soon as ModemManager
detects them.
Along with the new method, a "GpsRefreshTime" read-only property is exposed
to specify the refresh time in effect.
The new method and property will only be applicable if the device has GPS
capabilities.

Standard GPS setup (raw/nmea) will both enable the GPS module and take full
control of the GPS port. This prevents other processes from reading the NMEA
traces from e.g. a tty. In order to handle this, a new 'unmanaged' GPS location
source is introduced, which will just enable/disable the GPS module, without
reading anything from the GPS port. Of course, both raw/nmea and unmanaged
setups cannot be enabled at the same time.
We will expose a new 'Ports' property listing all ports currently known by a
given modem. Ports which are not used but are detected as being part of the
modem will be listed with an 'unknown' port type.
This change uses the new 'MMModemPortType' enum and the new 'MMModemPortInfo'
helper struct to handle these values in libmm-glib. The already available
'MMPortType' enum hasn't been re-used for the interface because it contains
values that we don't need (e.g. IGNORED).
The port list is now also included in the modem information command of mmcli:
$ sudo mmcli -m 0
/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/0 (device id '97b7b99e3e2bea103880545b619fb05a3cc81b26')

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.
