Currently every subcriber object directly refers to the gsm_network
which contains a flag shared by every related subscriber
(keep_subscr). This adds a dependency on gsm_network even if only the
function defined in gsm_subscriber_base.c are used.
This patch adds a new struct gsm_subscriber_group which contains the
keep_subscr flag and a back reference to the network object. The
latter is not dereferenced in gsm_subscriber_base.c, so it can safely
be set to NULL when only that part of the gsm_subscriber API is being
used. It also changes that API to use gsm_subscriber_group instead of
gsm_network parameters.
Since there are some places where a pointer to the gsm_network is
needed but where only a gsm_subscriber is available, a 'net' back
pointer is added to the group struct, too. Nevertheless subscr group
and network could be separated completely, but this is not the topic
of this commit.

bsc_init.c was a big mess even only for two supported BTS models,
so before adding more BTS types, this needs a cleanup.
All the BTS specific code from bsc_init.c has now moved into
bts_{siemens_bs11,ipaccess_nanobts}.c
This has required that input_event() and nm_state_event() get both
converted to proper libosmocore signals instead of referencing external
symbols.
The reason for this is quite simple: We want to make sure anyone
running a customized version of OpenBSC to operate a network will
have to release all custom modifiations to the source code.
tmsi is four octets long, there is no need to make it a string
and then jump through hoops to convert it to a number. Keep the database
using it as a string to benefit from the NULL handling of the db.
Introduce the reserved tmsi which has all bits set to 1 according
to GSM 03.03 §2.4 and start checking for it and make sure the db
code will never allocate such a tmsi.
