Porting MountPointManager and the device plugins in devices/ to use
Solid. Ideally they should be moved into SqlCollection, because that's
where the code logically belongs, but loading plugins from a plugin
might be tricky. The database schema is already
DynamicCollectio-enabled. After porting to Solid, emitting a
collectionUpdated signal whenever MPM detects a device change is
probably the only thing left to do.
