[review] New 'fibocom' plugin

[Ben Chan]

Hi Aleksander,

On Chrome OS, we simply use ID_MM_PORT_IGNORE to ignore all AT ports
on the L850-GL module (e.g.
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/chromiumos-overlay/+/master/net-misc/modemmanager-next/files/77-mm-fibocom-port-types.rules).

The modem is functional with just MBIM and supported via the generic
plugin, which is the approach we took on Chrome OS. IMHO, there is
little added benefit with a new modem plugin. More importantly, AT
probing takes quite some time, and I observed it often took 7 seconds.
We've been trying hard for some time to move everything to purely MBIM
or QMI :)

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ben
