add "initial attach" apn type

4G has the concept of an initial attach apn. This is useful for provisioning the 4g auto-attach APN (set with +UCGDFLT).

For oFono we want to be able to attach the LTE atom with the initial attach apn only.

Sure, seems fine.

Note that +UCGDFLT is u-blox specific; other manufacturers have different methods to specify the initial attach APN (or "initial PDP context") which might even just be context #0 which can be set with +CGDCONT as normal.

Dragos,

could you please re-submit the patch with a proper description? Preferably, created with `git format-patch`.

Usually, I would apply the patch and come up with a description of my own. But since I don't know much about this, it would be great if you could detail why this is done.

Thanks.

Erm, sure. I had just followed the explanation from the wiki [1].
