build: require glib 2.56

Aleksander Morgado requested to merge aleksm/ModemManager:aleksander/bump-glib into master

When using glib < 2.55.1 there was a bug in GLib triggering a huge amount of memory leaks in the normal ModemManager runtime. This has caused multiple issues in multiple setups, and so the best way to make sure it no longer happens is to require 2.56.

The 2.56.0 glib version is also the one provided by Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and so we can now say that this LTS release is the last one we support in newer MM releases. The previous Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is already out of the standard 5-year support.
