Both the Simple.Connect() and Modem.CreateBearer() are updated to
allow a new 'multiplex' setting in the properties provided by the user
in both of these methods.
The new setting expects a MMBearerMultiplexSupport enum indicating
what kind of multiplex needs the user has:
* none: if multiplex must not be used.
* requested: if multiplex should be used if available.
* required: if multiplex must be used.
The underlying implementations will take care of accepting or
rejecting the setting depending on the system and modem capabilities.
This setting is unused since some releases ago, and the corresponding
libmm-glib methods were already flagged as deprecated. Let's add an
explicit mention to this deprecation on the DBus API itself.
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.
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.
