Basically, the purpose of this merge request is to add additional initial eps bearer settings, which are needed for the setting
and enablement of 5G sims. One example is for the AU network 5G sim which is available in Japan.

This is to be used together with the APN setting in gnome-control-center (Gnome Settings). This would give the user of Gnome desktop to be able to configure 5G sim initial eps bearer APN settings.
