[SRU] Add Quectel EM05-G/EM05-CN PID information to support WWAN LVFS

[ Impact ]
The modemmanager v1.20.0 doesn't have Quectel EM05-G/EM05-CN PID (0x311/0x312) information.
Fwupd can't base on modemmanager to identify the modem for supporting
WWAN LVFS on a x86-based platform with Intel EHL, which is working with Jammy.
(lp: #2019555)

[ Test Plan ]

Under Jammy environment,
check fwupd (snap version) can identify EM05-G/EM05-CN modems to support WWAN LVFS on the target platform
$ fwupdmgr refresh --force
$ sudo fwupdmgr install
# Select EM05-G/EM05-CN

[ Where problems could occur ]

The EM05-G/EM05-CN PID information is upstreamed to modemmanager v1.20.4
1. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/commit/b43cae70b078ee1af5b454cfd2b452e8dc711453
2. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/commit/e30b3a07a8d0f2bf5676cdcaf74da76f4af98b63

The Lunar and Mantic already working with modemmanager v1.20.4.
The target platform WWAN LVFS function works well on Lunar and Mantic.

The change parts just only add VID/PIDs for Quectel's new modems under the Quectel plugin.
