In SCCPlite, the BSC receives the CN-side MGCP from the MSC through an
IPA conn, and it then forwards those messages to its co-located MGW
through a rawUDP socket created at startup.
This forwarding UDP socket still relied exclusively on the "mgw.conf"
struct which was filled only by the old VTY interface which was been
deprecated lately.
This patch moves the mgw-pool setup before the msc setup so that if the
VTY config file still uses the old VTY, the single MGW is added to the
MGW pool through mgcp_client_pool_register_single(). It then simply
picks the first available MGW from the pool when creating the raw UDP
MGCP-forwarding socket.
This means SCCPLite is still left with supporting only 1 MGW. If more
than one MGW is defined in the pool, then when the call is being set up
a different MGW could be picked from the pool while the CN-side MGCP
would still be sent to the MGW pool selected at osm-bsc startup.
This limitation coul be removed later on by adding a new VTY command
under the "msc" to pin calls for an MSC to an MGW with a given "mgw_nr"
from the pool, and that same MGW be looked for in the pool every time a
new call is being established.
Another possibility would be to avoid creating the "connected" UDP
socket at osmo-bsc startup, and rather use it in non-connected mode and
transmit (sendto) using the mgcp_client remote address during call
establishment.
In any case, this is left as future excercise since so far there hasn't
been any need for multiple MGWs in SCCPLite setups.

The all_allocated_update_bsc() does inefficient iterating to count
active/inactive lchans, which scales badly for high numbers of TRX
managed by osmo-bsc.
We need to update the all_allocated flags immediately (periodic counting
alone would suffer from undersampling), so, until now, we are calling
this inefficient function every time a channel state changes.
Instead of iterating all channels for any chan state changes anywhere,
keep global state of the current channel counts, and on channel state
change only update those ts, trx, bts counts that actually change.
A desirable side effect: for connection stats and handover decision 2,
we can now also use the globally updated channel counts and save a bunch
of inefficient iterations.
To get accurate channel counts at all times, spread around some
chan_counts_ts_update() calls in pivotal places. It re-counts the given
timeslot and cascades counter changes, iff required.
Just in case I missed some channel accounting, still run an inefficient
iterating count regularly that detects errors, logs them and fixes them.
No real harm done if such error appears. None show in ttcn3 BSC_Tests.
It is fine to do the inefficient iteration once per second; channel
state changes can realistically happen hundreds of times per second.

This way we avoid triggering timers and doing extra poll loops for each
BTS which is configured but not up. It also has the effect of removing
logging about estimating paging buffers for BTS which are down, which
can be confusing.
Furthermore, since work is delayed until the TRX and cell in general is
configured, the first estimation is properly done now since the correct
configuration is in place at that time.

These messages show up when the following conditions are met:
* BTS model speaks A-bis over IP (ip.access, e.g. nanoBTS), and
* BTS has more than one transceiver configured.
The problem is that unlike traditional E1 based BTS models, ip.access
ones have a single global A-bis/OML link for all transceivers. Thus
when it goes down, in inp_sig_cb() we need to notify all timeslots
*of all TRXes*, not just TRX0.

At the moment the BTS configuration is checked, but the check does not
have much consequence other than that some initialization that is not
executed. The BTS will go into the OML bootstrap phase anyway and most
likely fail at some later point due to the invalid configuration. To
reduce noise and unexpected behaviour of the BTS lets make sure that the
OML boostrap phase can only proceed when the BSC conciders the
configuration as valid.

It is not possible to operate a cell that has secondary TRXs in
different bands. Especially considering that DCS1800 and PCS1900 have
overlapping ARFCN numbers it would be hard for the MS to tell to which

this also violates the sepec.

don't need to take care of calling it.

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.
