option: add Alcatel X200 to sendsetup blacklist
This modem really wants sendsetup blacklisted for interfaces 0 and 1,
otherwise the kernel hardlocks for about 10 seconds while waiting for
the modem's firmware to respond, which it of course doesn't do.
A slight complication here is that TCT (who owns the Alcatel brand) used
the same USB IDs for the X200 as the X060s despite the devices having
completely different firmware and AT command sets, so we end up adding
the X060s to the blacklist at the same time. PSA to OEMs: don't use the
same USB IDs for different devices. Really. It makes your kittens cry.
