Joachim Wiberg 314b0b425f Add cellular modem support via modemd daemon
Integrates the modem management subsystem, donated by Avvero Pty Ltd,
adapted to work on any platform without proprietary hardware (simctrl,
modules.json, /sys/class/sim/).

Components:
- package/feature-modem: Buildroot feature package pulling in modemd,
  ModemManager, libmbim, libqmi, and USB serial/MBIM/QMI kernel drivers
- package/modemd: Buildroot package for the modemd daemon and helpers
- src/modemd: modem management daemon — detects modems via ModemManager,
  connects bearers, configures IP addresses, handles SMS and location
- src/confd/src/modem.c: confd plugin — enables/disables modemd and
  modem-manager via sysrepo, forwards RPCs (restart/reset/send-sms)
- src/confd/src/interfaces.{c,h}: IFT_MODEM type for wwan* interfaces;
  confd manages address/route assignment, modem daemon owns link state
- src/confd/yang/confd/infix-modem.yang: YANG model for modem config and
  operational state (bearers, APN, bands, modes, location, SMS)
- src/statd/python/yanger/infix_modem.py: operational state collector
- patches/modem-manager: upstream patches for udev install path,
  multiplexed interface naming, and MBIM port trust from udev hint
  (the last fixes Dell DW5811e / Sierra EM7455 on cold boot)
- patches/libqmi: ignore sysfs in download mode

Platform portability fixes for boards without simctrl hardware:
- modem-info: fall back to /run/modems.json when /run/modules.json is
  absent; discover wwan interfaces via sysfs scan; provide synthetic SIM
  entry when /sys/class/sim/ is not present; fix dbg() to respect flag
- modemd: make --set-allowed-modes=any best-effort (some modems only
  support one mode combination and reject any change); skip mode set
  when current mode already matches requested mode
- sim-setup: guard simctrl open, return None when modules.json absent
  to skip SIM slot switching entirely on non-simctrl hardware
