How can I create modem object when in "failed" state?

SIM hotplug management is not available in all modems, only in some of
them (e.g. Telit, all MBIM modems...) and also please note that the
SIM detection lines should be properly wired in the hardware for that
to work.

When there is no SIM and a new SIM is inserted, and assuming hotplug
is supported properly, what you will see is the modem object in failed
state going away, and a new modem object will appear that is no longer
in failed state. i.e. there is no signal reporting "now a sim is
available"; instead the full modem object is recreated.
