It's really confusing having a "default" struct whose inner values are
changing based on previous state. Furthermore, it's only used in
generate_si13() so there's no need to keep it outside the function.
Let's move it inside the function and rename it to avoid confusion.

If "bts->gprs.mode" was changed dynamically at runtime (VTY or CTRL), it

The value in bts->si_common.chan_desc may get out of sync with the
actual value in net->T_defs (e.g. after changing it via the VTY),
so we need to sync it in generate_si3().
Note that synchronizing the values in cfg_net_per_loc_upd_cmd is
a bad idea, because the value of T3212 may also be changed using
generic timer management commands.

The function gsm48_lchan2chan_desc_as_configured() dups
gsm48_lchan2chan_desc() with merely a different pchan type
(ts->pchan_from_config instead of ts->pchan_is).
In an upcoming patch, I would like to do the same, just with yet another
pchan value (derived from lchan->type, because that reflects the channel
type even before a dynamic timeslot switched its pchan type).
So replace gsm48_lchan2chan_desc_as_configured() by
gsm48_lchan_and_pchan2chan_desc() with explicit pchan arg;
also call this from gsm48_lchan2chan_desc(), reducing code dup.
gsm48_lchan2chan_desc_as_configured() had more concise error logging.
Absorb that into the new gsm48_lchan_and_pchan2chan_desc().
Add gsm_lchan_and_pchan2chan_nr(), like gsm_lchan2chan_nr() just with
explicit pchan arg, to be able to pass the pchan down from the new

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.

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.

According to 3GPP TS 44.060, section 12.24, GPRS Cell Options IE
contains two parameters related to 11 bit Access Burst support:
- ACCESS_BURST_TYPE - whether the 8 or 11 bit format shall be
used in the PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST message, the PTCCH/U block,
PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGMENT and the PS HANDOVER ACCESS
messages on the PRACH (if present).
- EGPRS_PACKET_CHANNEL_REQUEST - whether EGPRS capable MSs shall
use EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST message for Uplink TBF
establishment on the RACH or on the PRACH (if present).
The VTY option 'gprs 11bit_rach_support_for_egprs' actually controls
the second parameter - EGPRS_PACKET_CHANNEL_REQUEST, though it may
be hard to understand this from its name and description.
This patch is actually a group of tightly related changes:
- deprecate 'gprs 11bit_rach_support_for_egprs (0|1)':
- update its description to avoid any possible confusion,
- print a warning if it's used in non-EGPRS mode,
- print a warning if it's still used;
- introduce '[no] gprs egprs-packet-channel-request':
- ensure that it can only set / printed in the EGPRS mode;
- take a chance to clean-up / rename the related struct members:
- 'supports_egprs_11bit_rach' -> bool 'egprs_pkt_chan_request',
- remove 'supports_egprs_11bit_rach' from 'gprs_cell_options'

Some nanoBTS firmwares (if not all) are known to not work properly with
SI2ter. If BSC enables SI2ter through RSL, SI3 bit announcing SI2ter
available will be forwarded by nanoBTS to MS, but will still only send
SI2 message instead of expected SI2ter during TC=5 (see GSM 05.02 sec 6.3.4 "Mapping
of BCCH data"). As a result, some MS won't allow registering to the
network.
To avoid this kind of scenario, enable force-combined-si by default on
nanoBTS while still allowing to overwrite the feature through VTY. Other
BTS models are kept with force-combined-si disabled by default as
usually, since they seems to be working fine when SI2ter is enabled.

Closes: OS#3532
Add FSMs:
- timeslot_fsm: handle dynamic timeslots and OML+RSL availability.
- lchan_fsm: handle an individual lchan activation, RTP stream and release,
signal the appropriate calling FSMs on success, failure, release.
- mgw_endpoint_fsm: handle one entire endpoint with several CI.
- assignment_fsm: BSSMAP Assignment Request.
- handover_fsm: all of intra, inter-MO and inter-MT handover.
Above FSMs absorb large parts of the gscon FSM. The gscon FSM was surpassing
the maximum amount events (32), and it is more logical to treat assignment,
handover and MGW procedures in separate FSMs.
- Add logging macros for each FSM type:
- LOG_TS()
- LOG_LCHAN()
- LOG_MGWEP(), LOG_CI()
- LOG_ASSIGNMENT()
- LOG_HO()
These log with the osmo_fsm_inst where present.
New style decision: logging without a final newline char is awkward,
especially for gsmtap logging and when other logs interleave LOGPC() calls;
we have various cases where the final \n goes missing, and also this invokes
the log category checking N times instead of once.
So I decided to make these macros *always* append a newline, but only if
there is no final newline yet. I hope that the compiler optimizes the
strlen() of the constant format strings away. Thus I can log with or without
typing "\n" and always get an \n termination anyway.
General:
- replace osmo_timers, state enums and program-wide osmo_signal_dispatch()
with dedicated FSM timeouts, states and events.
- introduce a common way to handle Tnnn timers: gsm_timers.h/.c: struct T_def.
These can be used (with some macro magic) to define a state's timeout once,
and not make mistakes for each osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg().
Details:
bsc_subscr_conn_fsm.c:
- move most states of this FSM to lchan_fsm, assignment_fsm, handover_fsm and
mgw_endpoint_fsm.
- There is exactly one state for an ongoing Assignment, with all details
handled in conn->assignment.fi. The state relies on the assignment_fsm's
timeout.
- There is one state for an ongoing Handover; except for an incoming Handover
from a remote BSS, the gscon remains in ST_INIT until the new lchan and conn
are both established.
- move bssmap_add_lcls_status() to osmo_bsc_lcls.c
abis_rsl.c:
- move all dynamic timeslot logic away into timeslot_fsm. Only keep plain send/receive functions in
abis_rsl.c
- reduce some rsl functions to merely send a message, rename to "_tx_".
- rsl_ipacc_mdcx(): add '_tx_' in the name; move parts that change the lchan state out into the
lchan_fsm, the lchan->abis_ip.* are now set there prior to invoking this function.
- move all timers and error/release handling away into various FSMs.
- tweak ipa_smod_s_for_lchan() and ipa_rtp_pt_for_lchan() to not require an
lchan passed, but just mode,type that they require. Rename to
ipacc_speech_mode*() and ipacc_payload_type().
- add rsl_forward_layer3_info, used for inter-BSC HO MO, to just send the RR
message received during BSSMAP Handover Command.
- move various logging to LOG_LCHAN() in order to log with the lchan FSM instance.
One drawback is that the lchan FSM is limited to one logging category, i.e. this moves some logging
from DRR to DRSL. It might actually make sense to combine those categories.
- lose LOGP...LOGPC logging cascades: they are bad for gsmtap logging and for performance.
- handle_classmark_chg(): change logging, move cm2 len check out of the cm3 condition (I hope that's
correct).
- gsm48_send_ho_cmd(): split off gsm48_make_ho_cmd() which doesn't send right away, so that during
inter-bsc HO we can make an RR Handover Command to send via the MSC to the remote BSS.
assignment_fsm.c:
- the Chan Mode Modify in case of re-using the same lchan is not implemented
yet, because this was also missing in the previous implementation (OS#3357).
osmo_bsc_api.c:
- simplify bsc_mr_config() and move to lchan_fsm.c, the only caller; rename to
lchan_mr_config(). (bsc_mr_config() used to copy the values to mr_bts_lv
twice, once by member assignment and then again with a memcpy.)
- During handover, we used to copy the MR config from the old lchan. Since we
may handover between FR and HR, rather set the MR Config anew every time, so
that FR rates are always available on FR lchans, and never on HR lchans.

Move all of libbsc/ into osmo-bsc/, and separate/move some implementations to
allow linking from utils/* and ipaccess/* without pulling in unccessary
dependencies.
Some utilities use gsm_network and gsm_bts structs, which already include data
structures for fairly advanced uses. Move initialization that only osmo-bsc
needs into new bsc_network_init() and bsc_bts_alloc_register() functions, so
that the leaner tools can use the old gsm_* versions without the need to link
everything (e.g. handover and lchan alloc code).
In some instances, there need to be stubs if to cut off linking "just before
the RSL level" and prevent dependencies from creeping in.
- abis_rsl_rcvmsg(): the only program currently interpreting RSL messages is
osmo-bsc, the utils are merely concerned with OML, if at all.
- paging_flush_bts(): ip.access nanobts models call this when the RSL link is
dropped. Only osmo-bsc actually needs to do anything there.
- on_gsm_ts_init(): the mechanism to trigger timeslot initialization is related
to OML, while this action to take on init would pull in RSL dependencies.
utils/ and ipaccess/ each have a stubs.c file to implement these stubs. Tests
implement stubs inline where required.
From src/utils/, src/ipaccess/ and tests/*/, link in .o files from osmo-bsc/.
In order for this to work, the osmo-bsc subdir must be built before the other
source trees. (An alternative would be to include the .c files as sources, but
that would re-compile them in every source tree. Not a large burden really, but
unless linking .o files gives problems, let's have the quicker build.)
Minor obvious cleanups creep in with this patch, I will not bother to name them
individually now unless code review asks me to.
Rationale:
1) libbsc has been separate to use it for osmo-nitb and osmo-bsc in the old
openbsc.git. This is no longer required, and spreading over libbsc and osmo-bsc
is distracting.
2) Recently, ridiculous linking requirements have made adding new functions
cumbersome, because libbsc has started depending on osmo-bsc/*.c
implementations: on gscon FSM and bssap functions. For example, neither
bs11_config nor ipaccess-config nor bts_test need handover_cfg or BSSMAP
message composition. It makes no sense to link the entire osmo-bsc to it, nor
do we want to keep adding stubs to each linking realm.
