Our T3113 timer default of 60s was set early in the development of
OpenBSC, where we didn't really know what values to use and used
excessively large/safe values. Paging the same MS for 60 seconds (even
if there's no paging response) will however create a lot of PCH load for
no good reason.
It seems there's no clear guidance as to what the value should be. Other
implementations use something in the order of 10 seconds (OpenBTS,
yateBTS), which seems more realistic. THe Siemens BS-11 has a default of
5 seconds.
Let's be conservative and go to 10s as a default, which is already 6
times less potential PCH usage than our default so far...

Counting the number of T3113 expirations (one per subscriber per BTS)
vs the number of paging attempts (Bsc global) is a ueseless figure,
as you cannot relate each other.
We count on the BSC level:
* how many PAGING we received from the MSC (total)
* how many of those were for cells/LACs we don't serve
* how many of those resulted in PAGING RESPONSE
We count on the BTS leve:
* how many PAGING CMD we sent to the BTS (total)
* how many of those we ignored as we were already paging
* how many of those resulted in PAGING RESPONSE
* how many were expired due to T3113 expiring

This timer is started when a channel is allocated with an IMMEDIATE
ASSIGNMENT message. It is stopped when the MS has correctly seized the
channel. Ever since the early days of development we were using a very
long timeout to be on the safe side. However, in production networks
this is a terrible waste of resources, as we will occupy 10s worth
of air-time on one of our channels for each RACH request we receive.
The only scenarios where you might need something absurdly high as 10s
would be if you have 8s of RTT between your BTS and the BSC.

This is left over from the OsmoNITB days. We're defining and allocating
these MSC counters, but never actually using them. This also means that
the automatic counter export will list them, raising the expectation at
users that such counters could be used in OsmoBSC.
Let's remove them. They are in OsmoMSC, but not OsmoBSC.

In more recent versions of libosmocore, we are converting any '.'
in [rate] counter names to ':' to avoid clashes with the special
meaning of '.' in the CTRL interface. Let's avoid any conversion
and use the proper name already here.
This also changes the codec_foo counters to codec:foo to follow the
notation of other counters.

We used to have a lot of counters only globlly per BSC, but they're
much more useful on a per-BTS level.

It's leftover from the time when gsm_data_shared.* was actually shared
with OsmoBTS. Nowadays ROLE_BSC is always defined so we can just drop it
entirely and make working with gsm_data_shared.h slightly easier.

osmo-bsc currently negotiates the RTP stream directly with the
BTS and reports back the RTP IP/Port on the BTS. This works fine
for a single BTS, but for Handover the port/ip pointing to the
MSC side must not change, so an entity in between the BTSs and
the MSC is required.
Integrate the mgcp-client and use osmo-mgw to switch the RTP
streams.

To properly decide if a given OML link is degraded we have to use

Expose OML link uptime available via vts's "sh bts 0" command with the
new "bts.0.oml-uptime" ctrl command. To avoid code duplication, move
uptime computation into separate function and use it for both.

OML link state is available via vty ("sh bts 0" command) and
ctrl ("oml-connection-state" RO variable).
When showing OML link state, take into consideration RSL link state as
well: if OML is up but RSL is missing show it as degraded.
That's implemented via BTS model-specific functions (currently Sysmo- and
Nano- BTS only)

After osmo-mgw change I8e0b2d2a399b77086a36606f5e427271c6242df1, there now is a
separated libosmo-mgcp-client, and osmo-bsc needs adjusting.
But besides having an unused struct in gsm_network, osmo-bsc does not yet use
its MGCP client; these are merely plans for the future. Until we do, let's just
drop the dependency entirely.
