The VTY allows flexible control over the neighbor cell information via
the neighbor command, which can be found in the configure terminal under
the bts node. Lets add pendant of this command on the control interface
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.

This patch caused major breakage in my setup, with BSC printing at
startup: "(bts=0,trx=0) Failed to generate System Information".
And bts-trx printing all the time:
"sysinfo.c:162 PH-RTS-IND: Unable to determine actual BS_AG_BLKS_RES
value as SI3 is not available yet, fallback to 1"
This reverts commit c1a5310a3e.

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.

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.

This new CTRL interface allows users of this BSC (such as attached PCU)
to gather neighbor information.
This interface is needed for PCU to translate ARFCN+BSIC keys provided
by MS in the Um side into CGI + RAC keys used to identify target cells
in RIM procedures against SGSNs on the Gb interface.
This patch extends the already existing neighbor information storage in
the VTY by allowing storage of CGI + RAC (RAC couldn't be stored
beforehand).

Place all code related to the object into the related file.
Having all the data model in one file made sense in early stage of
development to make progress quickly, but nowadays it hurts more than
helps, due to constantly growing size and more and more bits being
added to the model, gaining in complexity.
Currently, having lots of different objects mixed up in gsm_data.h is a hole
of despair, where nobody can make any sense were to properly put new stuff
in, ending up with functions related to same object in different files
or with wrong prefixes, declarations of non-existing functions, etc.
because people cannot make up their mind on strict relation to objects
in the data model.
Splitting them in files really helps finding code operating on a
specific object and helping with logically splitting in the future.

Fix neighbor config to match OsmoBSC manual: implement the plan for neighbor
configuration that was so far only described in the manual without actually
being in operation.
This first allows re-using ARFCN+BSIC pairs in and across BSS.
So far the handover_start() code always looked for handover target cells across
*all* local cells, even if they were not listed as neighbors to a source cell.
Imply all cells as neighbors only as long as there are no explicit neighbors
configured. As soon as the first 'neighbor' line appears in a 'bts' config,
only the listed neighbors are regarded as handover target cells. (The
'neighbor-list' commands are not related to this, only the relatively new
'neighbor (bts|lac|cgi|...)' commands affect actual handover procedures.)
TTCN3 tests TC_ho_neighbor_config_1 thru _7 play through the various aspects of
neighbor configuration: both the legacy implicit all-cells-are-neighbors as
well as allowing only explicit neighbors by config.

I believe I have initially misinterpreted the idea behind sending a Cell
Identifier List in BSSMAP Handover Required messages. Instead of associating N
Cell Identifiers with one ARFCN+BSIC, the idea is to add up N separate
ARFCN+BSIC's Cell Identifiers into a list. To keep the door open for future
code simplification, make sure to allow only one Cell Identifier per remote
ARFCN+BSIC on the VTY UI.

When writing the neighbor configuration documentation, I noticed that 'neighbor
add' and 'neighbor del' make sense from an interactive VTY POV, but when
looking at a static config file, it makes more sense to simply name the
neighbors without the 'add' keyword, and to use the 'no' prefix instead of the
'del' keyword. It still makes sense to tweak cosmetics like this before
inter-bsc handover is used anywhere.
First, remove 'add' from all 'neighbor add ...' commands.
Instead, prepend "Add" to the doc string for the cell identification argument
in commands that add a neighbor:
-OsmoBSC(config-net-bts)# neighbor add ?
- bts Neighbor cell by local BTS number
+OsmoBSC(config-net-bts)# neighbor ?
+ bts Add Neighbor cell by local BTS number
(A subsequent patch will rename 'neighbor del' to 'no neighbor'.)
