qcom-soc: new plugin for Qualcomm SoCs

This plugin implements support for old Qualcomm SoCs like the MSM8916
or the MSM8974, where:
 * control ports are available via RPMSG channels exported as devices
   e.g. with rpmsgexport:
   https://github.com/andersson/rpmsgexport
 * network ports are exposed by the bam-dmux kernel driver:
   https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/linux/commits/bam-dmux

Adding support for newer Qualcomm SoCs (e.g. QRTR+IPA) could be done
in a similar way on this very same plugin.

This plugin is the first and only one that implements support for a
modem device that is "built in" the system, as opposed to external
modems that may be available via USB or PCI.

The ID_MM_PHYSDEV_UID based udev tags provided by the plugin provide
the logic to bind all the SoC ports together in the same modem object,
and therefore ID_MM_PHYSDEV_UID should not be used by users to
override the ones set by the plugin.

All "rpmsg[0-9]*" ports that are considered part of the modem are
flagged as candidate, ignoring the parent "rpmsg_ctrl[0-9]*" ports on
purpose. This setup therefore assumes that the channels have been
exported already as devices (e.g. using rpmsgexport).

libqmi 1.27.2 is required to support the "WDS Bind Data Port" message.
