This patch makes declarations bind to definitions within the same module
to prevent the potential ambiguity if referenced directly.
AddressSanitizer think they violated one definition rule, although
those symbols are accessed by address through their modules and do
not depend on the order of the libararies loaded.
Initialized "cgmi_retries" variable from CustomInitContext with the
same value as the other retries, moreover the context is now allocated
with g_slice_new0.
Before this changes, when cgmi_retries assumed big values during the
probing of no AT-capable ports, the command AT+CGMI (mm-plugin-dell.c:custom_init_step)
was sent a semi-infinite number of times, blocking the plugin's initialization.
For Dell-branded Novatel, Sierra and Ericsson modems.
The Novatel plugin will no longer accept every Dell-branded modem, which was
the current situation. Instead, a new Dell plugin will take care of probing for
the correct vendor string, and based on the results create a specific Novatel,
Sierra or Ericsson modem.
In order to properly support this, the Novatel, Sierra and MBM plugins now
export their implementations into non-inst libraries that the Dell plugin will
import.
Also, for now, the Dell plugin doesn't make any difference between e.g. Sierra
or Ericsson MBIM implementations, just a generic MBIM modem is created in both
cases, as that is anyway what the Ericsson MBM and Sierra plugins do already.
