Some of the operations performed by the profile management interface
will require checking whether the operation is attempted on a profile
for which there is a known connected bearer object.
We introduce a new method to lookup a bearer in the bearer list by its
connected profile id.
In addition to the amount of bearers a user may connect without
multiplexing enabled (the default until now), we now also expose the
maximum number of bearers a user may connect after enabling
multiplexing over one single network interface (if supported).
The method responsible for creating the MMBearerList is now also
subclassable, so that implementations supporting multiplexing can
provide their own version with their own thresholds.
This property was never initialized with a correct value, we would
always use the same value as used for MaxActiveBearers, which isn't
technically right. Just suggest to ignore this property, and flag
it as deprecated.
In addition to deprecating the API property, we will internally no
longer limit the amount of bearer objects that may be created with
different connection settings. The bearer object exposed in DBus is a
representation of the connection that may be setup, and so we can hold
as many representations as we want as long as the amount of connected
bearers doesn't exceed the maximum amount for each modem.
Leaving around the disconnected modems also serves another purpose.
Each bearer holds information about the amount of times a connection
with it has been attempted, and the amount of data transferred through
it. If we use the Simple.Connect() method to connect the modem using
different bearer settings, we won't lose the information of the past
connection attempts with different settings.
Renamed `MMCommonBearerProperties' to `MMBearerProperties', and removed the
`MMBearerProperties' provided in libmm-glib. We'll just use the original one
from libmm-common always.
Bearer list operations, except for Bearer creation, are so generic that the
interface itself can implement it for every object implementing the interface.
This implementation is based on a new MMBearerList object.
