when an emergency call arrives while all TCH are busy, the BSC should
pick an arbitrary (preferably the longest lasting) call / lchan and
release it in favor of the incoming emergancy call.
The release of the existing call is a process that can not be done
synchronously while the ChanRQD is handled sonce multiple messages are
exchanged between BTS and MSC and multiple FSMs need to do their work.
To be able to release one lchan while handling a ChanRQD a queue is
implemented in which the incomming channel requests are collected. If
an emergency call is established while all channels are busy, an
arbitrary lchan is picked and freed. When freeing the lchan is done,
the queue is checked again and the emergency call is put on the free
lchan (TCH/H or TCH/F).

Currently the counters don't distinguish between intra-cell and
intra-bsc handover.
Add _CTR_INTRA_CELL_HO_ and _CTR_INTRA_BSC_HO_ counters to track
intra-cell/bsc handover separately.

The function initializes the struct owned by a bts, so it makes sense to
have it done there instead of somewhere else later.
It was most probably put in bsc_vty when it was initially introduced
because of all the data structure and object file mess I untangled
during last set of patches.

In the big mess of gsm_data we reached a point where we have multiple
functions doing the same thing, most probably because it's hard finding
stuff in there. Let's drop one of them (the one which less callers) and
move it to bts.*, where it belongs.

Place all code related to the object into the related file.
Having all the data model in one file made sense in early stage of
development to make progress quickly, but nowadays it hurts more than
helps, due to constantly growing size and more and more bits being
added to the model, gaining in complexity.
Currently, having lots of different objects mixed up in gsm_data.h is a hole
of despair, where nobody can make any sense were to properly put new stuff
in, ending up with functions related to same object in different files
or with wrong prefixes, declarations of non-existing functions, etc.
because people cannot make up their mind on strict relation to objects
in the data model.
Splitting them in files really helps finding code operating on a
specific object and helping with logically splitting in the future.
