So far osmo-bsc would enable Uplink DPC (Dynamic Power Control) only
for osmo-bts, and the 'static' mode for all other BTS models. This
decision dates back to the time when ip.access specific encoding for
dynamic power control parameters was not implemented, and the MS
Power Parameters IE was sent empty in the RSL messages.
Let's make a step forward by enabling Uplink DPC by default for
all BTS models which declare the API for vendor-specific encoding
of the power control parameters. Currently this includes osmo-bts
and nanoBTS, both supporting ip.access specific format.

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).

This allows a given BTS model driver to initialize data structures
specific cor this BTS instance (or a TRX for this BTS instance).

Before the recent changes, the MS Power Parameters IE would always
be included empty in RSL CHANnel ACTIVation messages iff the BTS
type is 'osmo-bts'. Then this behavior was changed, so the user
would need to enable dynamic power control explicitly.
This is a regression, let's revert it back to the old behaviour.

The only real 1-1 relationship between BTS NM objects is the one between
GPRS Cell and BTS (which is actually a BTS cell).
In our current osmo-bts implementation we don't care much since we only
handle 1-cell BTSses, but let's make the data structure organization
more generic.
Implementation notes:
The gsm_bts_sm is moved to its own file, APIs to allocate are added and
the new public object is hooked correctly in the allocation process of
osmo-bsc.

To be able to control the FACCH/SACCH repetition behavior inside the
BTS a one byte flag is sent to the BTS together with the
RSL_IE_OSMO_REP_ACCH_CAP IE. This patch adds the necessary VTY commands.
The sending of the flag is implemented in a follow-up patch.

A header file should only contain declarations, not entire definitions.
The fact that we have 'static const struct ...' definitions in a header
file means that very C file including this header file will get its own
private copy of the entire definition.
The header file should only include declarations, while the actual
non-static definitions should go to a *.c file. Let's fix this.
Also, take a chance to improve readability and apply more consistent
formatting (similar to 'struct hf_register_info[]' in Wireshark).

Closes: OS#4816
when an emergency call arrives while all TCH are busy, the BSC should
pick an arbitrary (preferably the longest lasting) call / lchan and
release it in favor of the incoming emergancy call.
The release of the existing call is a process that can not be done
synchronously while the ChanRQD is handled sonce multiple messages are
exchanged between BTS and MSC and multiple FSMs need to do their work.
To be able to release one lchan while handling a ChanRQD a queue is
implemented in which the incomming channel requests are collected. If
an emergency call is established while all channels are busy, an
arbitrary lchan is picked and freed. When freeing the lchan is done,
the queue is checked again and the emergency call is put on the free
lchan (TCH/H or TCH/F).

Currently the counters don't distinguish between intra-cell and
intra-bsc handover.
Add _CTR_INTRA_CELL_HO_ and _CTR_INTRA_BSC_HO_ counters to track
intra-cell/bsc handover separately.

The function initializes the struct owned by a bts, so it makes sense to
have it done there instead of somewhere else later.
It was most probably put in bsc_vty when it was initially introduced
because of all the data structure and object file mess I untangled
during last set of patches.

In the big mess of gsm_data we reached a point where we have multiple
functions doing the same thing, most probably because it's hard finding
stuff in there. Let's drop one of them (the one which less callers) and
move it to bts.*, where it belongs.

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.
