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).

Those adoc files are only used by osmo-bsc.git and openbsc.git
(osmo-nitb), and the later is deprecated and no longer maintained, which
means new features are only added to BSC. Hence it makes no sense to
keep the doc shared between both.

The BSC is the wrong network component to originate USSD messaging, as can be
seen in the hacks in the USSD code: for example, the BSC would send a CM
Service Accept message as if an MSC had accepted the connection, dispatch a
USSD and directly send some RR release message (without proper tear down
messaging like the lchan_fsm does these days). This made sense in the osmo-nitb
world, but by now we are aiming for solid 3GPP compliance. The BSC shall not
originate USSD messages.
Deprecate all VTY and CTRL commands related to USSD:
VTY
[no] bsc-welcome-text
[no] bsc-msc-lost-text
[no] bsc-grace-text
[no] missing-msc-text
(the commands with 'no' are ignored, without 'no' lead to an error)
CTRL
ussd-notify-v1
Drop (already unused) ussd.h.
Drop gsm_04_80.h, gsm_04_80_utils.c, and all calling code.
Drop "RF grace" notification, where osmo-bsc was able to notify active
subscribers that the RF was being turned off.

This adds code to handle CBSP (Cell Broadcast Service Protocol)
from the CBC (Cell Broadcast Centre), as well as BSC-internal data
structures for scheduling the various SMSCB on the CBCH of each BTS.
There are currently one known shortcoming in the code: We don't yet
verify if keepalives are received within repetition period.

Having different names for the same config setting is misleading, so

This adds some instructions on how to configure 3G/4G neighbor
cells within osmo-bsc. I didn't want to add a new top-level
chapter but instead chose to add it to the handover section which
describes also the configuration of 2G neighbors.

In GSM specs, the entire interface between two elements is designated
with some letter, like the A interface between BSC and MSC. The
interface uses a variety of protocols stacked on each other.
In the specific case of A, there is no "A" on top of SCCP, but
there's "BSSAP" on top of SCCP.
This is followed somewhat un-orthodox by 3GPP, as "A over IP" is
a violation of that principle. It should have been called "A utilizing
IP", "A based on IP", "A with IP" or something the like.
In any case, at no point do the specs ever claim that "A" is stacked
on top of SCCP, so let's fix this.

The manuals existed in different form for several years in an internal
sysmocom repository. However, since they had just recently been
converted from docboox-xml to asciidoc and all files have been
re-shuffled for enabling the public release, there's not much point in
keeping the history with git-filter-branch.
