libqmi: enable selection of message collections

[ghost]

Maintainer: me
Compile tested: ath79 Telco T1 master
Run tested: ath79 Telco T1 master, checked basic functions

Description:

• Added new message collections support, so that users can select which messages to include in the built library during configure with the --enable-collection option. Three predefined sets are given:
  • minimal: the bare minimum messages required to control connectivity.
  • basic: all messages and indications that ModemManager requires. (selected here by default)
  • full: all supported messages and indications.

Needs a PKG_RELEASE bump.

Needs a PKG_RELEASE bump.

Thanks, done

Imho it'd be nicer to use package variants, so users can select at run-time rather than compile-time.

I have been looking at that, and have a couple of questions. If we have three variants, libqmi-minimal/basic/full, how do we satisfy ModemManager's dependency on libqmi? ModemManager depends on at least libqmi-basic, it will not work with libqmi-minimal. Is there a way to create a wrapper package somehow so that MM is always satisfied?

Needs a rebase.
