app: Add overlay for mdm-power-gpios

Adds overlay overlay-zephyr-modem.overlay for mdm-power-gpios,
so that Cellular Modem driver, which does not currently support
DTR, can power on and power off Serial Modem.

Kconfig CONFIG_SM_START_SLEEP removed. Serial Modem Will start
from sleep if mdm-power-gpios is included.
