When the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT is sent from the PCU to the BSC using the
"direct TLLI" method, the TLLI (and the last three digits of the IMSI)
is prepended to the MAC block. Currently we are taking the fields apart
manually using offsets. The code for this is difficult to read and the
method is error prone. Let's define a struct that we can just overlay
to access the fields directly. Let's also transfer the full IMSI.

osmo-bsc requires the PCU to tag IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENTS that shall be
sent via PCU with a TLLI. This is required to confirm the sending of the
IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages to the PCU.

The current name of PCU_IF_SAPI_AGCH_DT is a bit misleading as it
describes a method to send immediate assignment messages (normally AGCH)
via the PCH. The name in the constant should reflect that correctly

The struct gsm_pcu_if_e1_ccu_ind is a bit misplaced. Lets move it next
to the info indication strucht, to have it in the same order is it used
in gsm_pcu_if

osmo-pcu will also support GPRS via E1 timeslots in a BSC co-located
setup. To avoid duplicate configuration the BSC has to communicate the
E1 parameters (which TS, SS etc.) to the PCU. Lets add a new primitive
to do that.

The array of trx in gsm_pcu_if_info_ind can hold trx 8 items. Lets use a
define constant to specify the size of that array.

The number of NSVCs is fixed but lets not use magic numbers to define
the sizes of the arrays that hold the config values. In osmo-pcu there
is already a define constant, so lets use a define here as well.

While NACC was initially developed, it became clear there was need for
a way to interact PCU<->BSC in order resolve ARFCN+BSIC into CGI-PS
for later RIM usage.
Hence, this resolution was first (until today) implemented using an out
of bands RPC system using the CTRL interface, which required specific
config to be written and matches in osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc VTY (ip+port
of the CTRL interface to use).
However, this has several shortcomings:
* As explained above, specific configuration is required
* Since recently, we do support BSC redundancy in osmo-bts. Hence the BTS
may switch to a BSC other than first one. If that happened, that'd mean
the CTRL interface would still point to the initially configured one,
which may not be the same currently serving the PCU.
During recent development of ANR related features, a similar need for
PCU<->BSC was required, but this time it was decided to extend the IPA
multiplex of the Abis OML connection to pass PCUIF messages,
transparently forwarded to each side by the BTS.
This has the advantage that connection PCU<->BTS is handled by BTS and
both sides send messages transparently.
Let's switch by default to using this new interface, while still
maintaing the old way for a while (announcing them as deprecated) to
avoid breaking existing deployments until they are upgraded to new
versions of osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc.

Introduce a address_type in the NSVC configuration pass the given
protocol. The remote_ip is network byte order, the default
encoding for in_addr and in6_addr.

The protocol 9 was extended (compatible) with
* app info request
* suspend request (ETWS)
* rach indition (add fields ts / trx)
Only copy the relevant parts but no implementation.

Add the mnc_3_digits member to the info_ind.
Instead of changing to e.g. osmo_plmn_id, add the flag separately, and instead
of bool use a uint8_t, to not raise any struct packing issues and clarify the
flag's size beyond any doubt.
Bump the PCU interface version to 9.
