Determine modem uptime

Sometimes it's not configured correctly, so the modem remains powered all the time, which can lead to reliability issues. I'd like to be able to identify that case remotely.

There is no uptime reported by MM itself for a given modem object..
But a way to detect whether that regular power cycle is working or not
could be to look at the DBus modem id, because that should be bumped
every time the modem is reseted. E.g. modem starts at id 0, gets
rebooted and is exposed at id 1, gets rebooted and is exposed at id 2,
and so on.
