ensure_qmi_client() uses g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle(),
which can't be mixed with GTask. To allow migrating remaining
MMBroadbandModemQmi code to use GTask in a series of smaller patches,
this patch adds a temporary assure_qmi_client() helper, which mimics
ensure_qmi_client() but uses g_task_report_new_error(). Once all the
MMBroadbandModemQmi code is migrated to use GTask, we will drop the old
ensure_qmi_client() and renames assure_qmi_client() back to
ensure_qmi_client().
We have a maximum number of timeouts that could be enabled for TTY
modems, e.g. to detect whether the modem is available in the RS232
port or has been unplugged. This was required because RS232 modems
aren't notified via udev, so there was no other way to check presence
of the modem.
But, the same kind of checks may be used in order to detect failed
broken modems. If we have a modem that gets into an unstable state
where no AT port command goes through and all get timed out, we can
definitely flag the modem as invalid and get rid of it. If we don't do
this, we would end up leaving the modem exposed and available for
users of the API, but in a non-working state.

When a new USB device is hotplugged, e.g. a USB<->RS232 converter that
exposes a single ttyUSB0, these udev events happen:
add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1 (usb/usb-device)
add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0 (usb/usb-interface)
add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/ttyUSB0 (usb-serial)
add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/ttyUSB0/tty/ttyUSB0 (tty)
bind /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/ttyUSB0 (usb-serial)
bind /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0 (usb/usb-interface)
bind /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1 (usb/usb-device)
Our udev rules in MM only added tags in the 'add' events, and it looks
like the only ones 'persistent' after this sequence are those of the
last event happening on the specific path.
This meant that all TTY subsystem rules (e.g. ID_MM_CANDIDATE) would
be stored for later check (e.g. if ModemManager is started after these
rules have been applied), which was ok. "udevadm info -p ..." would
show these tags correctly always.
But this also meant that the 'bind' udev event happening for the USB
device didn't get any of our device-specific tags, and so we would be
missing them (e.g. ID_MM_DEVICE_MANUAL_SCAN_ONLY) if MM is started
after the last event has happened. "udevadm info -p ..." would
not show these tags.
Modify all our rules to also run at the 'bind' events.
