Problem
Boron entering hibernate mode after startup in MANUAL mode consumes ~700UA current, which beyonds the expected <100uA. The root cause of the issue is that the modem uart is initialized on startup, while the system sleep API checks that the cellular interface is off so that the modem off procedure is not performed, thus, the modem uart is kept on.
Solution
Controls the modem uart according to the modem power status after startup.
Steps to Test
Run the simple example below on a Boron, it should consum <100uA after it enters hibernate mode.
