This specifically fixes a regression with Novatel GSM secondary
AT port enablement, where the inital pin check closed the port
before the Novatel plugin could send the command to flip secondary
ports to AT mode.
But it's useful elsewhere too, and simplifies a bunch of the PIN
checking code which had to use various ugly methods to track whether
to close the port or not after checking the PIN.
With the PIN changes, the primary port would already be closed
by the time the Novatel modem class was able to send the DMAT
command to enable the secondary ports. Just try again later.
For QCDM devices we want most of what MMSerialPort does, but not
the AT command handling stuff since the commands and responses
aren't AT commands nor are they even strings. So convert everything
that MMSerialPort does into a GByteArray, and let MMAtSerialPort
handle the conversion to strings when necessary.
Previously, a few operations (like disable) could trigger a modem
flash in parallel with another flash. That's wrong, don't allow
that. At the same time, add in finer-grained error checking on
serial port speed operations, and fix a GSM generic bug that would
send the POWER_UP string on disable.
So many modems just don't implement carrier detect that it makes
the previous 'connected' logic useless, so base it off connect/disconnect
and fix up a few places that didn't check connect status before
trying to send commands. Also ensure the serial port is unlocked
for PPP to use when connected.
ZTE modems need to use udev rules to assign port type hints,
so generalize that and port all the plugins over to suggested
port types in the MMModem interface's grab_port() function.
Allow plugins to perform asynchronous port detection, and to defer port detection
until later. This moves the prober bits into MMPluginBase so that all plugins
can take adavantage of it only when needed; the probing is not done at udev time.
Furthermore, plugins like Novatel can flip the secondary ports over the AT mode
through deferred detection, by deferring the secondary ports until the main port
has been detected and AT$NWDMAT has been sent.
This commit also finishes the port of the rest of the plugins (except mbm) over
to the new port detection methods and plugin API.
