Overview of changes in libqmi 1.20.0

• New services:
  • loc: new "LOC" (location) service, which e.g. allows controlling GPS devices in newer modules that don't implement the PDS service. Just some very basic implementation for now.

• New request/responses:
  • nas: new "Attach/Detach" request/response messages.
  • wds: new "Get Channel Rates" request/response messages.
  • dms: new 'Swi Get/Set USB Composition' request/response messages.

• New TLVs supported in existing messages:
  • nas: new 'Extended LTE Band Preference' TLV in "Set/Get SSP".
  • dms: new 'Extended LTE Band Capability' TLV in "Get Band Capabilities".

• libqmi:
  • New 'QMI_DEVICE_SIGNAL_REMOVED' signal in the QmiDevice object, propagated through the qmi-proxy.
  • New 'QMI_CLIENT_VALID' property in the QmiClient that allows detecting whether the underlying QmiDevice is usable or not.
  • Defined additional LTE bands.

• qmicli:
  • New '--wds-set-ip-family' command.
  • New '--wds-get-channel-rates' command.
  • New '--uim-read-record' command.
  • New '--dms-swi-get-usb-composition' and '--dms-swi-set-usb-composition' commands.

• Several other minor improvements and fixes.
