Ability to address SIM by UID name

The ability to assign a custom name to a modem e.g. by path via ID_MM_PHYSDEV_UID is highly useful. Here at $work we also wanted the convenience of the same for SIM information, rather than first having to call mmcli -m somename, grab the SIM path and issue a second mmcli -i /path/to/sim command. Attached is the patch we use for this, modeled on the behaviour of mmcli -m (but certainly a "monkey-see,monkey-do" job :) ). Patch originally for the 1.8 branch, but applied easily with some offset on 1.10.
