Add chan_counts_for_trx() and chan_counts_for_bts(). Drop
bts_count_free_ts() and trx_count_free_ts().
Rationale:
The bts_count_free_ts() and trx_count_free_ts() always returned the
number of free lchans, not timeslots. Hence, passing the pchan type as
argument never really matched the semantics.
Especially, when looking for free SDCCH, there is no clear match on a
gsm_phys_chan_config enum value: SDCCH8_SACCH8C, CCCH_SDCCH4,
CCCH_SDCCH4_CBCH, SDCCH8_SACCH8C_CBCH? -- GSM_LCHAN_SDCCH is clear.
==> Rather count free lchans by enum gsm_chan_t.
Counting lchans of distinct types required separate iterations for each
lchan type.
==> Rather compose an array of counts for all types, in one go.
I need to count the amount of free SDCCH lchans in an upcoming patch to
implement the performance indicator allAvailableAllocatedSDCCH (cumulate
time for which no SDCCH are available).
To implement allAvailableAllocated{SDCCH,TCH}, I need a count of both
the used as well as the total lchans for a type: it does not make sense
to flag "all available allocated" if none are ever available.
To properly count dynamic ts, I need the maximum total that can be
possible at any time. And to count currently free lchans, I need the
current total. This may seem counter intuitive, but consider, e.g.:
- Obviously, if a cell has only static TCH/F timeslots, it does not make
sense to flag that all available TCH/H are occupied, because no TCH/H
are available ever. Just stating this as contrast to dyn TS.
- If a cell has OSMO_DYN timeslots, I *do* want to flag that all TCH/H
are occupied when all dyn timeslots are fully occupied.
- If those OSMO_DYN however are all used as TCH/F, the current total of
TCH/H becomes zero, and it seems like TCH/H should not be considered.
- To count the nr of currently free lchans, I need the currently
possible total of lchans and the nr of occupied lchans.
So return both a maximum total and a current total of lchans. In above
example, the maximum total shows that there would be TCH/H possible.
BTW, it would be nice to keep a chan_counts array on trx, bts and bsc
level and update as channels are allocated and released, instead of
counting them all over periodically. But it's less error prone this way.

Usual allocation mechansim, when some signalling channel is needed,
first tries to reserve an SDCCH, and if all of them are exhausted, then
attempts to reserve a TCH as a last resort.
This, however, may cause TCH starvation under certain situations, for
instance if there high load on other services (LU, SMS, etc.).
Hence, it may be desirable for the operator to forbid reservation
of TCH slots once SDCCH become exhausted. This commit is thus adding a
VTY command which allows forbidding it. The default behavior (allow using
TCH timeslots when SDCCHs are exhausted) is kept as before.
The above mentioned prohibition is applied only to non-voicecall related
signalling services. That's because voicecall services will end up
requiring a TCH anyway, and forbidding reservation of TCH straighaway
when SDCCHs are exhausted would mean no voice calls could be initiated
while still TCHs would be available.

The VTY defun already indicates BSC_VTY_ATTR_RESTART_ABIS_OML_LINK
correctly, but so far we would immediately start using the new values
internally, and wrongly interpret interference levels. Fix that.
Have bts->interf_meas_params twice: interf_meas_params_cfg for the VTY
configured values, and interf_meas_params_used for the values that the
BTS actually knows about, after they were sent via OML.
In a running BSC, when changing the interference level boundaries on the
telnet VTY, the BTS is not immediately told about the change. That would
require a BTS restart. Hence store the cfg values separately in
interf_meas_params_cfg. For comparing/printing interference levels in a
running BTS, only employ the values that were actually sent via OML and
placed in interf_meas_params_used.

The BCCH carrier (sometimes called C0) of a BTS shall maintain
discontinuous Downlink transmission at full power in order to
stay 'visible' to the mobile stations. Because of that, early
versions of 3GPP TS 45.008 prohibited BS power reduction on C0.
However, starting from version 13.0.0 (2015-11) there is a feature
called 'BCCH carrier power reduction operation'. This is a special
mode of operation, where the variation of RF level for some
timeslots is relaxed for the purpose of energy saving.
In BCCH carrier power reduction operation, for timeslots on the
C0 carrier, except timeslots carrying BCCH/CCCH, the output power
may be lower than the output power used for timeslots carrying
BCCH/CCCH. In this case the maximum allowed difference in output
power actually transmitted by the BTS is 6 dB.
Introduce a VTY command to turn on and off the BCCH carrier power
reduction operation. Also introduce a CTRL command. On the
A-bis/RSL, abuse the BS POWER CONTROL message by setting
the Channel Number IE to 0x80 (RSL_CHAN_BCCH).
Currently, only osmo-bts-trx is supported. A value greater than
zero makes it reduce the power on *inactive* timeslots of the
BCCH carrier. Sending zero disables the BCCH power reduction
mode completely.
For more details, see 3GPP TS 45.008, section 7.1, and 3GPP TR 45.926.

According to 3GPP TS 45.008, the BSS shall monitor the levels of
interference on its IDLE traffic channels. The actual measurements
are performed in the BTS and then reported to the BSC over the
A-bis/RSL link(s) in RF RESource INDication messages.
3GPP TS 45.008 defines the following measurement parameters:
* Intave: Interference Averaging period (see table A.1),
* Interference level Boundaries (see table A.1).
Both parameters are sent to the BTS over the A-bis/OML, and can
now be configured via the VTY interface. Only those BTS models
which 'speak' the OML protocol defined in 3GPP TS 52.021 will
actually get the configured parameters, others will keep using
the hard-coded parameters.

The effects of the neighbor configuration depend on the LAC, Cell
Identity, ARFCN, BSIC configuration of neighbor cells. Make sure that
the neighbor ARFCN list in the System Information is updated.
This may seem rather aggressive: updating the SI of all BTS if only one
config item changed. But indeed even modifying one config item of one
BTS may cause a change in the neighbor relations that many other BTS may
have to the changed BTS. For example, if many BTS configure a
'neighbor lac-ci 42 23', and this cell's config changes to LAC 43, all
of those other BTS need to update their neighbor ARFCNs.
Also update the system information even before the BTS are connected and
started up. The main benefit here is that the VTY 'show bts N' command
then already lists the correct neighbor ARFCNs.
In gsm_bts_trx_set_system_infos(), make sure that the updated SI is only
sent to TRXes that are actually usable, otherwise abis_rsl_sendmsg()
spams the log with complaints that a message's dst == NULL. Still return
an error rc in case a TRX is not connected, so that the CTRL command
bts.N.send-new-system-informations accurately returns whether SI were
actually sent to all TRXes.
The desire to have the ARFCNs listed in the VTY before starting up BTSes
came during analysis for Ifb54d9a91e9bca032c721f12c873c6216733e7b1,
which fixes a bug that is now much easier to verify being fixed.

Calculating the Cell Allocation (basically a bit-vector of all the
frequencies allocated to a cell) on the OML link establishment has
several downsides and potential problems:
* Theoretically, more than 64 ARFCNs can be allocated for a cell
via the VTY interface. The problem here is that the Mobile
Allocation IE cannot contain more than 64 channels.
* The BSC's operator will neither be warned by the interactive
VTY shell during configuration, nor during the startup.
* The BSC will accept such a configuration, but then will be
unable to encode the Mobile Allocation IEs at run-time.
This change aims to improve the situation by separating part of
the logic from generate_cell_chan_list(), and invoking this
part directly from the VTY commands. This way it will become
impossible to configure more than 64 ARFCNs, neither via the
config file, nor interactively from the VTY.

The neighbor configuration storage is fundamentally broken: it requires
all local cells to be configured before being able to list them as
neighbors of each other. Upon config write-back, the neighbor config
however is placed back inline with the other config, and hence a
written-out neighbor config no longer works on program restart.
The cause of this problem is that the config is stored as explicit
pointers between local cells (struct gsm_bts), which of course requires
the pointer to exist before being able to reference it.
Instead, store the actual configuration that the user entered as-is,
without pointers or references to objects that need to be ready. Resolve
the neighbors every time a neighbor is needed.
Hence the user may enter any config at any place in the config file,
even non-working config (like a BTS number that doesn't exist), and the
relation to actual local or remote neighbor cells is made at runtime.
Abort program startup if the initial neighbor configuration contains
errors.

So far the list of penalty timers was stored for an opaque target
pointer. That was either a gsm_bts pointer for a local BTS, or a cell
identifier list pointer for a remote-BSS cell.
Reasons to refactor penalty timers:
- The cell identifier list pointer came from the neighbor configuration
storage, but the way cell neighbor config is stored will change in a
subsequent patch. There will be no more cell identifier lists there.
- Storing object pointers is inherently unsafe -- if an object gets
removed and another gets allocated, the penalty timer could
theoretically remain in force for an unrelated object.
Rather store penalty timers for specific Cell IDs. Since remote-BSS
neighbors can be requested by a cell identifier *list*, use a
gsm0808_cell_id_list2 as key in the list of penalty timers.
Fix handover_test.c: have different CI for each local BTS. So far it was
the same LAC+CI for all BTSes, which now would make the test fail,
because any penalty timer would appear to apply to all local cells.
