3GPP TS § 08.08 defines various types of Cell Identifier List IEs, but we only
implement "entire BSS" and "one LAC". If the MSC sends a Cell Identifier List
that we don't implement, it is best for interoperability to page the entire BSS
and post a log message instead of rejecting the paging altogether. Apart from
resource management, it is not harmful to page more than the MSC requested; if
use of resources becomes an issue, the log message will guide towards the
solution of providing an actually implemented Cell Identifier List IE.
Upon IE length that is other than we expect, log the error, but also fall back
to paging the entire BSS. Overall message length correctness has been checked
earlier.
The particular case observed is that a Huwaei MSC sends a LAI for Cell
Identifier List (MCC+MNC in bcd, followed by a LAC), parsing of which we may
want to add later.
Improve logging: identify the subscriber that is being paged.
Coding style: use a switch() statement to clarify flow and provide a place to
add more implementations later.
Add regression test bssap_test.c: fabricates BSSAP Paging messages with the two
implemented Cell Identifier List IEs as well as the unimplemented LAI
identifier, verify the resulting paging LAC in wrapped function and stderr.

This is the OsmoBSC project. Disabling the build of the BSC would be
somewhat odd, so let's remove the option.
Also, OsmoBSC depends on libosmo-sccp now, so we must unconditionally
depend on it. As a result, we can remove the --enable-nat option,
as this was only to avoid a mandatory libosmo-sccp requirement in
historical times.

Rewire build and includes to libosmo-legacy-mgcp.
Drop osmo-bsc_mgcp and related python tests, now found in osmo-mgw.git.
libosmo-legacy-mgcp is installed from osmo-mgw, hence add the dependency to
jenkins.sh (so far using the pre_release branch).

libvlr now delegates subscriber management to osmo-hlr, so the database no
longer represents a HLR. It basically only stores SMS, so reflect that fact in
the default database name.
Change-Id: I3289d68d3eb63aff940b48a25b584d5e83cd0197
Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>,
polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>.
This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch.
This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep
it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work.
SMS:
The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the
SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on
the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the
subscriber is currently attached.
If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this
will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will
reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the
next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash
list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the
SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already.
There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending
SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to
actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to
deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached.
This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time
when we have a proper separate SMSC entity.
Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc.
Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task
of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly.
Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram.
Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See
I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.
So far use the LAC from conn->bts, will be replaced by conn->lac in
Id3705236350d5f69e447046b0a764bbabc3d493c.

- bscs.config needed by the vty tests was not picked up as a dist file, because
its suffix is not 'cfg'. Rename to *.cfg. Apply this rename in
vty_test_runner.py and osmo-bsc_nat.cfg.
- Remove restart counters after external tests, otherwise distcheck complains
about uncleaned files.
- Add contrib/ipa.py to EXTRA_DIST, hence add a Makefile.am to contrib/.
Otherwise the python tests cannot find that dependency.

This is the first step in creating this repository from the legacy openbsc.git.
Like all other Osmocom repositories, keep the autoconf and automake files in
the repository root. openbsc.git has been the sole exception, which ends now.

Use strdup to be able to use strtok on the category string and add
a test case. Also safe some more information to be able to use color
in the print statement.
One can use add_timer or schedule_timer to add a timer. After
the timeout time has been reached the callback will be called.
One can call add_time/schedule_timer and del_timer from within
the callback.
