So far we have a couple of macros iterating a specific number of lchans,
depending on dynamic timeslot state etc. With addition of VAMOS lchans,
this would become more complex and bloated.
Instead of separate iteration macros for each situation, only have one
that takes a number of lchans as argument. That allows to more clearly
pick the number of lchans, especially for non-trivial VAMOS scenarios.

So far the number of usable lchans is determined on-the-fly by the
physical channel config. With VAMOS, this becomes more complex, namely
determining whether the BTS is vamos capable.
Instead of calling a function to determine the number of lchans for
every use, rather place the number of valid lchans in int members of the
timeslot struct, and initialize those during timeslot setup.
Actual use of these new fields will follow in a subsequent patch, which
introduces the ts_for_n_lchans() macro to replace current lchan
iteration macros.

Activating / modifying to a VAMOS mode will require picking specific TSC
Set / TSC. It is a bad idea to pick the TSC in each message encoding
function, rather make this choice centrally.
So far we pick the training sequence code to use based on the timeslot
configuration, and this TSC is determined only upon encoding the RSL
messages.
Instead, pick the TSC to use upon the initial lchan activation /
modification request; store this in the request structs and pass through
the activation / modification code paths.
For VAMOS modes, we also need to pick a TSC Set. Do so also upon activ /
modif request. Note that the TSC Set is not yet applied in this patch,
it will be applied in upcoming VAMOS patches.
The activ / modif request may pass -1 for tsc_set and/or tsc to indicate
no specific choice of TSC Set and TSC, resulting in the same behavior as
before this patch.
For example, lchan->activate.info.tsc* may be passed as -1. The exact
choice for tsc_set and tsc is then stored in lchan->activate.tsc*, i.e.
one level up (the .info sub-struct is considered as immutable input
args). The lchan->activate.tsc* are the values actually encoded in RSL
messages. After the ACK, the lchan->activate.tsc* is stored in
lchan->tsc* to indicate the TSC actually in use. Same for modif.
Note that in 3GPP TS 45.002, the TSC Set are numbered 1 to 4, while the
TSC are numbered 0 to 7. On the wire, though, TSC Set is sent as 0 to 3
value. This is a weird discrepancy, odd choice made by the spec authors.
For conformance with the spec wording, I decided to pass the TSC Set
number as a 1-4 ranged value, and only convert it to the 0-3 on-the-wire
format upon message encoding. So log messages and VTY output will
indicate the first TSC Set as "1", but the first TSC as "0", as defined
in 3GPP TS 45.002, even if that is somewhat weird.

Prepare for VAMOS, where there will be secondary "shadow" lchans serving
secondary MS on the same timeslots. For those, RSL messages will need to
reflect a different stream ID aka TEI, via an rsl_link_vamos.
Make sure that every code path that sends an RSL message for a specific
lchan selects the RSL link via the new function rsl_chan_link(). When
VAMOS is implemented, this function can select the proper RSL stream.
Rename gsm_bts_trx.rsl_link to rsl_link_primary. This makes sure I'm not
missing any uses of the RSL link, and clarifies the code.

I noticed during testing that an lchan used as TCH/F in fact still had
its channel mode set to Signalling -- because on Assignment, the Speech
mode used to be placed in the *previous* lchan and the new lchan was
never updated after the Activ ACK. This is unbearable confusion which I
complained about numerous times, so far mostly for cosmetic reasons. But
implementing re-assignment properly actually requires this to be cleaned
up.
Keep all volatile chan mode settings in lchan->activate.* or
lchan->modify.*, and only update lchan->* members when an ACK has been
received for those settings. So a failed request keeps a sane state.
Make sure that those settings are in fact updated in the proper lchan,
upon an ACK, so that subsequent re-assignment or mode-modify know the
accurate lchan state.

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.

From 3GPP TS 48.008 sec 3.1.30 "Common ID":
"""
If the SCCP connection is established due to CSFB from E-UTRAN and the MSC supports
return to the last used PLMN after CS fallback, then it should send the COMMON ID message
to the BSS including the Last used E-UTRAN PLMN ID information element if available at

Furthermore, 3GPP TS 48.008 version 16.0.0 Release 16 "3.2.1.21 CLEAR COMMAND",

"""

Hence, build up the EUTRAN neighbor list based on whether we received
the Last E-UTRAN PLMN ID IE during Common Id. In the future, we should
probably filter the list while populating it based on the received IE.

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.

It is observed that a CHANnel ReQuireD with access delay
greater than 63 can be received from the Ericsson RBS.
This results in osmo-bsc sending back a CHANnel ACTIVation with
a Timing Advance IE containing the access delay value.
The RBS NACKs this, leading to a BORKEN Channel.
This patch makes the maximum acceptable access delay vty-configurable
and Ignores CHANnel ReQuireD RSL Messages with Access Delay IE greater
than that configured. Default value is 63.

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.

Allocating a new list of supported codecs *before* checking the
command arguments is a bad idea. The operator may simply mistype
one of the codecs and will end up with a list of NULL pointers.
The functions calling audio_support_to_gsm88() assume that this
list always does contain valid pointers, so if a new subscriber
connection gets established, or the operator simply invokes
'show running-config', osmo-bsc would crash due to NULL pointer
dereference.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In the VTY, do: 'en' -> 'configure terminal' -> 'msc';
2. Configure any invalid codec list, e.g. 'codec-list Boom!';
3. Invoke 'show running-config', boom!
Let's check the input before changing the internal structures.

config_write_bts_gprs() currently writes the remote address of an
NSVC even if osmo_sockaddr_str_from_sockaddr() returns non-zero
code. Thus saving a configuration with only one configured NSVC
to a file would produce the following:
bts N
...
gprs nsvc 0 nsvci 101
gprs nsvc 0 local udp port 23023
gprs nsvc 0 remote ip 127.0.0.1
gprs nsvc 0 remote udp port 23000
gprs nsvc 1 nsvci 0
gprs nsvc 1 local udp port 0
gprs nsvc 1 remote ip
and next time osmo-bsc would refuse to start due to:
Error occurred during reading the below line:
gprs nsvc 1 remote ip
The related condition consists of the following two parts:
- checking if osmo_sockaddr_str_from_sockaddr() != 0;
- checking if 'remote.af != AF_UNSPEC'.
The first one is wrong, because osmo_sockaddr_str_from_sockaddr(),
like many other functions, returns 0 on success. Let's fix this.
After the fix, the second part does not seem to make sense, because
remote.af would remain AF_UNSPEC (0) if the function call succeeds.
Printing the remote port alone does not make sense, let's avoid
printing it if the address cannot be parsed into a string.
