The PCUIF flag PCU_IF_FLAG_SYSMO was originally used by osmo-bts-sysmo
to signal to the PCU that the direct PHY access for the sysmo-bts DSP
should be enabled. With time, support for other BTS models was added and
the flag became a synonym for "direct PHY access", so it makes sense to
rename it to "PCU_IF_FLAG_DIRECT_PHY"

In PCUIF v.11 we use PCU_IF_SAPI_AGCH_2 exclusively. We use this SAPI
to transfer IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages for uplink and downlink. One
new feature of PCU_IF_SAPI_AGCH_2 is that the PCU may ask to send a
confirmation when the MAC block is sent.
CAUTION: This patch breaks compatibility to current master osmo-pcu (See
also "Depends")

Since osmo-bsc uses RSL (with a propritary Ericsson RBS specific
extension) to send a confirmed IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages via
PCH, we can not just forward the MAC blocks into the paging queue
without determining whether the MAC block is a PAGING message or an
IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message. the reason for this is that RSL uses
two different message types (IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT COMMAND and PAGING
COMMAND) to process IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT and PAGING messages.
This means we have to look into the MAC block to make sure whether
the message is a PAGING message or an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message.
We also need to make sure that the confirm flag is properly executed.
In the case of the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT this means we have to include
(confirm=true) or not include (confirm=false) the RSL_IE_ERIC_MOBILE_ID
into the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message.
In the case of PAGING we directly echo a confirmation after sending
the PAGING COMMAND via RSL when a confirmation is requested.

Since we now no longer refer to TLLI when we mean "message ID" (msg_id),
we should also remove the "_DT" / "_dt" suffix from structs and define
constants and replace it with "_2" if required.

The struct gsm_pcu_if_data_cnf_dt was added when the first experiments
mit Ericsson RBS base stations were made. It is essentially a copy of
gsm_pcu_if_data, where the mamber "data" was replaced with a member
"msg_id" (which was originally called "tlli"). Since we didn't know
back then which parameters we would still need at some later point we
kept all the other parameters. However, to this day we never used the
parameters below fn. Even fn was only used for logging purposes, but is
now also unused.
Let's remove all those unused members.
(Since all removed members are at the tail of the struct,
compatibility with other programs that use the PCUIF should not break.)

To confirm downlink IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages, we use the TLLI as an
identifier and the related struct member is also called "tlli".
Unfortunately this is misleading since the message identifier does not
necessarly have to be a TLLI. It is just an implementation detail that
osmo-pcu uses the TLLI as a message identifier.
To make that clear, lets rename the tlli member (and variable and
parameter names where it is passed on) to "msg_id".
(Since this change only renames variables and struct members it will not
break compatibility with other programs that use the PCUIF)

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

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.

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.

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.
