Fragmentation story s01e03

Jolla started to develop libqofono (despite the exists ofono-qt) but maintains glib-based telepathy-ring. Canonical uses libqofono (from MER) for UI, but developed a brand-new telepathy-ofono, based on the old ofono-qt with a plan to port it to libqofono at some time.

This is how we ended up with two (glib and Qt) telepathy connection managers and two qt bindings for Ofono.
