The mm_base_modem_grab_port() now receives a MMKernelDevice directly from the
plugin, which is then stored in the MMPort corresponding to the port.
This means that we have direct access to e.g. all properties set by udev rules
everywhere, and we don't need additional GUdevClient objects (e.g. like the one
used in the Huawei plugin to detect NDISDUP support during runtime).
For virtual ports (e.g. generated during unit tests), we have a new 'generic'
kernel device object which just provides the values from the kernel device
properties given during its creation.
This logic is now implemented by the parent broadband modem object.
Also, implement a custom initial power state loading, so that CDMA-only modems
get marked as 'offline', in order to launch !pcstate=1 to power them up during
the first enabling. The custom initial power state loading will run the parent's
implementation in non-CDMA-only modems.
Specially the first time that CFUN=1,0 is issued after the initial power up, we
really need to wait more than 3s for the AT command reply. Otherwise, the modem
won't like it and it will reset itself :-/
Turns out older devices (like the C885/AT&T Mercury) crash often
when we don't wait for them to settle from CFUN=1. 5 seconds is
too short, but the crashes go away when we wait for 10 seconds.
Newer modems like the USB306 don't have this problem, so we just
check to see if the modem is a DirectIP device (using sierra_net)
and only use the shorter timeout for those newer devices.
This is a separate problem from some older modems returning ERROR
to valid commands that are sent too soon after CFUN=1, which was
observed on really old devices like the PCMCIA 860.
All Sierra devices appear to require short delay after powering up,
otherwise subsequent commands may return errors. Older devices need
longer so ensure new devices are penalized just for being new.
This is the port to git master of the following commit, for which we
don't need to do #2:

sierra: fix CFUN power up delay handling
1) all Sierra devices appear to require short delay after powering up,
otherwise subsequent commands may return errors. Older devices need
longer so ensure new devices are penalized just for being new.
2) When the modem is already in full functionality status and no power
up command was sent, there's no need to delay, which was happening
regardless of what state the modem was already in. Detect whether
the power up was actually executed (response and error will be NULL)
and only delay if it was executed.
Some Sierra modems trigger a reset of the modem when sending +cfun=1.
All sierra modems supports a second parameter to indicate that no
reset is to be done: "+cfun=1,0".
This is the port to git master of the following commit:

sierra: fix CSQ handling on APP1 port
The APP1 port doesn't always prefix its replies with <CR><LF> which
runs afoul of the built-in echo removal. Since Sierra modems are on
the whole well-behaved WRT echo removal, just disable it on the
secondary ports. Only changes behavior for PPP-based devices since
they are the only ones that use the APP1 ports.
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'
