These days more and more devices are showing up that support a
number of different access technology families in the same hardware,
like Qualcomm Gobi (CDMA and GSM), Pantech UM190 (CDMA and GSM),
Pantech UML290 (CDMA and LTE), LG VL600 (CDMA and LTE), Sierra
320U (GSM and LTE), etc. The previous scheme of having device
classes based on access technology family simply cannot handle
this hardware and attempting to add LTE to both the CDMA and GSM
device classes would result in a bunch of code duplication that
we don't want. There's a better way...
Instead, combine both CDMA and GSM device classes into a generic
"Modem" device class that provides capabilities indicating what
access technology families a modem supports, and what families
it supports immediately without a firmware reload. (Gobi devices
for example require a firmware reload before they can switch
between GSM and CDMA). This provides the necessary flexibility
to the client and allows us to keep the API stable when the
same consolidation change is made in ModemManager.
The current code doesn't yet allow multi-mode operation internally,
but the API is now what we want it to be and won't need to be
changed.
Given connection details, complete the connection as well as possible
using the given specific object and device, add it to system
settings, and activate it all in one method.
After the DUN branch merge (I think?) a number of NM_IS_MODEM
calls were left around which now always return FALSE since
NMDeviceCdma and NMDeviceGsm aren't subclasses of NMModem anymore.
But we still need generic "is this a modem subclass" checks in
a few places, so add a modem base class that both the GSM and
CDMA device classes inherit from and use that.
Plus, we want to consolidate a ton of the common code in
nm-device-gsm.c and nm-device-cdma.c into the base class in the
future anyway.
