There probably won't be a stable ModemManager 0.7 release before GNOME
3.8, so make support for it optional
(Mostly based on Aleksander's original patch.)

When the network doesn't provide a valid text string with the current operator
name, try to guess it using either the 3GPP MCCMNC pair or with the CDMA SID.
Guessing is based on the Mobile Providers Database for which there is an API in
libnm-gtk (>= 0.9.7.995).
The same logic to guess operator name is used in gnome-shell.
The control-center will automatically detect whether the modems exposed by
NetworkManager are from the old or the new interface, and if they are from the
new one it will use the libmm-glib support to gather the required information
from them.
The new ModemManager1 interfaces are exposed by ModemManager >= 0.7; and provide
lots of new functionalities, like:
* Improved connection bearer handling (e.g. multiple bearers at the same time)
* Location support (GPS, LAC/CI, CDMA BS...)
* Full SMS support through the new 'Messaging' interface.
* ...
For disconnected/unavailable devices, show the localized
NMDeviceStateReason next to the localized NMDeviceState (and not in
the tooltip). Also, move the code to do this into panel-common rather
to save some duplication.

It's confusing to call an ethernet device "disconnected" when it is
plugged in but not in use. Just don't say anything instead.
Also, update the icon logic to show the "disconnected" icon in this
state, rather than the "connected" one, since it's confusing for the
icon to change even though the network connection hasn't been
activated.

In addition to simplifying a bunch of places that were calling
nm_remote_settings_list_connections() +
nm_device_filter_connections(), this also ensures we filter out slave
connections everywhere (except when they are the active connection).

The IMEI was not being properly displayed in the UI; the code would load it
reading 'EquipmentIdentifier' from ModemManager, but the UI wasn't getting
refreshed properly when that happened. So at the end, the IMEI was stored but
not shown. This patch fixes the issue, by reloading the UI element when the IMEI
is retrieved.
The same issue was happening with the Operator Code, with the additional issue
being that this property is meant to change whenever the registration info in
the modem changes. Therefore, we now listen to the 'RegistrationInfo' signal to
detect the changes and update the Operator Name when that happens.

You have to pass the NMDevice to nm_client_activate_connection() for a
device-specific connection. This got broken at some point in the
rewrites since 3.4.
