If queue size (in transmit delay of requests) is too long (above
threshold) when a new initial incoming request arrives, instead of
directly discarding it, see if we can drop a pending retransmission and
insert the new one instead, in order to avoid losing initial requests.
This is done under the assumption that it is more important to transmit
intial requests than to retransmit already transmitted ones. The
rationale is that there's lower chances that an MS which didn't answer
lately will answer now (aka being reachable at the cell), so it's better
to allocate resources for new requests (new MS) which may be available
in the cell.

This allows configuring the maximum delay of paging requests to be
queued according to other parameters, such as MSC paging request
timeouts, etc.

Teach osmo-bsc to handle empty N-Connect. So far we were always
expecting user data in an SCCP N-Connect from an MSC. However, it is
perfectly valid for an initial BSSMAP request to follow later.
This is relevant for:
- Handover Request (incoming inter-BSC handover)
- Perform Location Request (query physical location of the MS)
Add state WAIT_INITIAL_USER_DATA with new timeout net X25. Always enter
this state so that we don't have two separate code paths for handling
initial user data.

The timer (T4) that controls the re-sending of the BSSMAP RESET can not
be changed via the VTY, althrough it is defined via a tdef struct. Lets
add a description along with default values to make it configurable via
the VTY.

While adding timers for Channel Mode Modify, I notice that X12 is
used in lcs_ta_req.c, but missing in net_init.c. Add it so that it is
exposed on the VTY configuration.

Backwards compatibly, introduce timer groups in OsmoBSC, and move some
non-specified T timers to new X timers:
T993111 -> X3111
T993210 -> X3210
T999 -> X4
Why X4? because there already is an X3 used elsewhere in Osmocom, and I find
it less confusing if X-numbers don't repeat across programs. See
https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/List_of_Timer_numbers
Drop unused timers from g_mgw_tdefs. Only X2427 has an actual effect.
(libosmo-mgcp-client recently moved T2427001 to X2427.)
Put libosmo-mgcp-client related timers to the 'mgw' group, like in osmo-msc.
This makes the MGCP timeout configurable for the first time.
Keep previous timer commands as DEFUN_HIDDEN, and also translate the moved T
timers to X timers on-the-fly. All previous VTY commands still work, and new
'timer [(net|mgw)] ...' commands are added. timer.vty shows this.
Remove the "_OPTIONAL" from the legacy "timer" and "show timer" commands, so
that they don't ambiguously overload the new "timer [(net|mgw)] ..." commands.

Before transitioning some unspecified T timers to X timers, and to introduce
timer groups, first add this timer VTY test. Changes here will illustrate that
the legacy commands will still work and redirect to new timer definitions.
