I noticed the soname has jumped a lot, probably due to the lack of
clarity around libtool versioning...  1.12.x was .so.1 while 1.14 is
.so.5...  I suppose there's no going back now 1.14 is out.

While we're here though, any chance would could actually keep the
compat functions
for qmi_message_dms_set_service_programming_code_input_XXX() in 1.14
and add a compat define for QMI_NAS_SIM_REJECT_STATE_SIM_VAILABLE?
 That at least would allow 99.9% source-level compatiblity.
