Sounds good. We will need to indicate whether the received PCO is
partial or complete, so I'll go with something like an array of struct
of (uint32 + boolean + byte array),  i.e. a(ubay).

I'm planning to do the following:
1. introduce the new Pco property under Modem3gpp interface
2. set it up for modems supporting MBIM_CID_PCO
3. migrate the altair-lte plugin to use the Pco property
4. migrate Chromium OS to use the Pco property instead of the
SubscriptionState property
5. remove the SubscriptionState property from Modem3gpp -- this is an
MM API break, so a version bump will be needed

Does that sound like a plan?
