Many Huawei CDMA modems implement vendor commands for 1x and EVDO
signal quality, so use them since they are more accurate than the
generic signal checking.
(port of a similar patch for MM_06 by heiher <admin@heiher.info>)
Some devices (e173) appear to lie about NDIS support; GETPORTMODE reports NDIS
is enabled, but that port is actually the MDM port and responds to AT commands.
So, if we get a port reported as NDIS and none reported as MDM, use the one
reported as NDIS for PPP.

We will not report 'CS' as a supported mode every time '2G' is supported. This
actually was forcing all plugins to handle a 'CS' fallback when they didn't have
CS-specific mode setup. So, to simplify things, we will only report 'CS' as
supported for those plugins which actually allow to select 'CS' mode (e.g. the
'wavecom' plugin).
Both the ModemManager daemon and the mmcli will now include `libmm-glib.h' only.
We also handle two new special `_LIBMM_INSIDE_MM' and `LIBMM_INSIDE_MMCLI'
symbols, which if included before the `libmm-glib.h' library allow us to:
* Don't include the libmm-glib high level API in the ModemManager daemon, as
the object names would clash with those in the core.
* Define some of the methods of helper objects to be included only if compiling
ModemManager daemon or the mmcli.
For those who don't care about the QMI support through libqmi-glib, or if you're
stuck with glib 2.30 (libqmi-glib requires 2.32), this configure switch allows
disabling the QMI support completely.
The logic to detect cdc-wdm ports is still in place, but the QMI probing is
never launched at them. Also, all QMI-related objects won't be compiled.
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'
