Description:
Add wwan connection type for USB CDC Ethernet based WWAN devices.
Concrete device support is modular, currently only the Ericsson
F3507g is supported, but it should be straightforward to add
support for other types of USB CDC Ethernet based WWAN devices.

Documentation is not included yet, since I want to wait for
comments on the choice of modularization before writing the
docs.

Please comment on what needs to be done / changed to get this
committed.

One issue that will need to be addressed is the deprecation of the
straightforward rfkill interface via /sys/.../wwan_enable.
The example configuration file needs to have the RFKILL_DEVICE set
to a /sys/.../rfkillN/state file.

But besides that, are there any substantial things wrong with it?
