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.

This patch fixes the following invalid comparison of unsigned expression:
novatel/mm-plugin-novatel.c:148:29: error: comparison of unsigned
expression >= 0 is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-compare]

We filter the E362 because it's managed by the Novatel LTE plugin. If we also
filter out the USB551L, but it's not explicitly grabbed by any other plugin, it
will default to the Generic one.
So do it during port probing. If we send this command early enough in the
first AT port being probed, it should flip the secondary ports to AT mode
before their port probing is finished.

Different ports of the same modem may get handled by different drivers. We
therefore need to provide a list of drivers (new `Modem.Drivers' property with
signature 'as') instead of just one (removed `Modem.Driver' property with
signature 's').
$ sudo mmcli -m 0 | grep drivers
| drivers: 'qcserial, qmi_wwan'
There's no real point in maintaining a separate `MMPlugin' interface, as all the
plugins will inherit from `MMPluginBase', so just merge them and simplify
everything.
Before this, we only exported the modem to DBus when all ports were organized,
in order to make sure that we select as primary port the one we really want and
not the first AT port grabbed. Given that to get all the ports organized we also
needed to wait to get all the ports grabbed, we can now also defer the creation
of the modem object until all the ports get grabbed. This allows us to create
different types of objects based on the ports available (e.g. we can now create
QMI-supported modem objects if we see a QMI port around).
