Make port roles more flexible. We have modems that do PPP
on interfaces other than the primary interface, and that
wasn't possible with the old code. So clean up all that
logic and move the port organization code into the core
so we can reduce code in the plugins.
In the new world order, the plugins say whether the port
is a QCDM port, an AT port, or ignored. If it's an AT
port the plugins get to tag it as primary, secondary, or
PPP, or any combination of the 3. This allows for modems
where PPP should really be done on the secondary port
(Huawei E220, Sierra devices) so that the primary port
stays open for command and status.
Modem subclasses no longer get asked to handle port grabbing
themselves. Instead, that's now done by the generic classes
(MMGenericCdma and MMGenericGsm) and the plugins are notified
when a port is grabbed so they can add unsolicited response
handlers for it. After all ports are grabbed by the generic
classes, they get "organized", which assigns various ports
to the roles of PRIMARY, SECONDARY, DATA, and QCDM based
on specific rules and hints that the plugin provided (which
are expressed as MMAtPortFlags). The plugins then have
a chance to perform fixups on the primary port if they choose.
The plugin code is responsible for determining the port
hints (ie MMAtPortFlags) at probe time, instead of having
a combination of the plugin and the modem class do the
job. This simplifies things greatly for the plugins at
the expense of more complicated logic in the core.
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.
This feature is initially disabled for all modems, but plugins can enable it by
setting a value greater than 0 for the "max-timeouts" property when creating the
modem object.
If the modem echoed commands by default (since we may not have
initialized the modem yet), the echoed command would confuse
the PIN check reply parser.
Clients can check the property to determine lock/unlock status and thus
unlock the modem before trying to connect if required.
