Cellular operator name should be more visible

[Martti Piirainen]

The cellular operator name is currently well hidden, the necessary steps are
 - swipe down the indicator bar
 - select "Network"
 - [scroll down if there are many WiFi networks]
 - select "Cellular settings ..."
 - find the "Carrier" field at the bottom

Tested with mako HW and image 79.

This is problematic
1. for operator partners, as this simple string is their most important branding element in the daily use of a phone.
2. for phone users, as they want to know in which network they are registered (especially when roaming).

Comparing to reference devices:
 - Most "traditional" phones always show this information in the home screen.
 - Android shows this information when swiping down the indicator bar.

Any design change obviously would need to take Dual SIM requirements into account.

We are working on adding a cellular item to the indicator per modem which will have detailed information on the operator and roaming status.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

  [ Michal Hruby ]
  * Work with the scopes-v4 branch + departments->navigation renaming

  [ Michał Sawicz ]
  * Hardcode art shape size for click scope local and predefined
    categories While at it, drop the fillmode of cards
  * Use the correct API in PageHeader. (LP: #1353048)
  * Refactor dash activity indicator. (LP: #1351539)

  [ Albert Astals ]
  * Dash Departments fixes Update maxHeight manually since it depends on
    the position of the item and its parents and it can't know when the
    binding has to be updated Make parent stuff non interactive when the
    department list is shown
  * PageHeader: when on search clip y-coordinates otherwise the
    background spills out when on search (LP: #1350398)
  * Dash: Implement OverlayColor support in Cards
  * Hardcode art shape size for click scope local and predefined
    categories While at it, drop the fillmode of cards
  * Make test_departments test more stable There's various
    DashDepartments on the dash, make sure we're working over the one
    that is on screen, otherwise clicks don't end up where they should
  * Work with the scopes-v4 branch + departments->navigation renaming
  * Fixes for dash as app Load i18n catalog Process command line options
    Add the posibility to have a mouse touch adaptor (LP: #1353351)
  * Implement the Expandable Preview Widget Now TextSummary is not
    expandable by itself anymore, you have to use it inside an
    Expandable to get the behaviour
  * Add test prefix to xml output, seems CI needs it

  [ Antti Kaijanmäki ]
  * Indicators: Adds new ModemInfoItem to be used with indicator-network
    (LP: #1329204)

  [ Michael Terry ]
  * When the edge demo is running, don't show the greeter if the screen
    is turned off. This avoids an odd interaction where parts of the
    greeter are disabled but the edge demo isn't visible until you slide
    the greeter away. (LP: #1283425)
  * Don't hardcode the phablet password in our testing script.

  [ Ying-Chun Liu ]
  * Add divider dots.

  [ Mirco Müller ]
  * Make sure the TextField of a snap-decision notification has the
    active focus upon creation, thus the osk shows up right away. (LP:
    #1346867)

  [ Andrea Cimitan ]
  * Add touchdown effect to dash cards.
  * Import Ubuntu.Components for preview image gallery to pick up
    default flicking speeds.

The operator name can now (image 188) be seen in the swipe-down network indicator, thanks.
