If the BTS downlink CCCH (PCH + AGCH) queue is full, it sends
us an RSL DELETE INDICATION. So far, osmo-bsc logs this as
<0004> abis_rsl.c:2026 Unimplemented Abis RSL TRX message type 0x14
which is not very helpful. Instead, make the log message more
descriptive and add a rate counter for monitoring.

For historical reasons we had bsc_vty.c and osmo_bsc_vty.c. Ever since the
osmo-nitb split, there is no reason to keep these files separate. Merge
osmo_bsc_vty.c into bsc_vty.c (because osmo_bsc_vty.c is smaller).
I noticed this particularly because adding the NRI configuration required
adding things like #define NRI_STR in two separate files: once for the
'network' level vty, and once for the 'msc' level.

This message may contain optional IEs (HSN, MAIO, ARFCN list),
so we cannot know the final length in advance. Let's set both
msg->{l2h,l3h} pointers and use msgb_l3len() to get the length.

3GPP TS 12.21 defines coding of 'ARFCN List' attribute as follows:
+---------------------------+--------------------+
| Attribute Identifier | 1st octet |
+---------------------------+--------------------+
| Length | 2-3 octets |
+---------------------------+--------------------+
| ARFCN1 | 4-5 octets |
+---------------------------+--------------------+
| ... | ... |
+---------------------------+--------------------+
| ARFCNn | (n * 2 - 3) octets |
+---------------------------+--------------------+
so this is basically TL16V, where L16 is the length of V.
In the Siemens dialect of OML coding rules are different though:
+---------------------------+--------------------+
| Attribute Identifier | 1st octet |
+---------------------------+--------------------+
| ARFCN count | 2nd octet |
+---------------------------+--------------------+
| ARFCN1 | 4-5 octets |
+---------------------------+--------------------+
| ... | ... |
+---------------------------+--------------------+
| ARFCNn | (n * 2 - 2) octets |
+---------------------------+--------------------+
so this is TCV, where C is the amount of ARFCNs in V.
This change fixes encoding of 'ARFCN List' for other dialects,
in particular encoding of the 'Length' field (1 vs 2 octets).
I verified the results in Wireshark (generic 3GPP TS 12.21
and ip.access dialect), everything looks good.

In the ttcn3 tests, the MSC round robin algorithm is affected by what tests ran
before, so an osmo-bsc test needs this to reset the round robin to get
predictable behavior to test against.

As in 3GPP TS 23.236, to offload an MSC, the BSC must be able to avoid
attaching new subscribers to it:
4.5a.1: "UEs being moved from one CN node are stopped from registering to the
same CN node again by an O&M command in BSCs and RNCs connected to the pool."
Change-Id: I6249201c15d0f6565aca643c21d2375c9ca58584
At this time, no MSC has been selected for handling this subscriber, so DMSC is
clearly the wrong logging category.

Add only a long option to not clutter the cmdline namespace.
To add a long option without a short letter is slightly complex: use the 'flag'

long_option.

Prepare for MSC pooling by NRI. Before introducing actual NRI decoding and MSC
matching, fix the bsc_find_msc() implementation.
(Indicate the places relevant for NRI by "TODO" comments).
bsc_find_msc() puts an MSC to the end of the internal list of MSCs when it was
used. This has problems:
- Modifying the list affects VTY output, e.g. 'show running-config' and
'show mscs' change their order in which MSCs are shown, depending on how
often a round-robin selection has taken place.
- Emergency calls and normal calls potentially pick quite different sets of
eligible MSCs. When the round-robin choices between these sets affect each
other, the choice is not balanced. For example, if only the first MSC is
allow_emerg == true, every emergency call would reset the round-robin state
to the first MSC in the list, also for normal calls. If there are regular
emergency calls, normal calls will then tend to load more onto the first few
MSCs after those picked for emergency calls.
Fix: Never affect the ordering of MSCs in the internal list of MSCs. Instead,
keep a "next_nr" MSC index and determine the next round-robin target like that.
Keep a separate "next_emerg_nr" MSC index so that emergency call round-robin
does no longer cause normal round-robin to skip MSCs.
Further problems in current bsc_find_msc():
- The "blind:" label should also do round-robin.
- The "paging:" part should not attempt to use disconnected MSCs.
- Both should also heed NRI matches (when they are added).
Fix: instead of code dup, determine Paging Response matching with an earlier
Paging Request right at the start. If that yields no usable MSC, continue into
the normal NRI and round-robin selection.
The loop in this patch is inspired by the upcoming implementation of MSC
pooling by NRI, as indicated by the two TODO comments. The point is that, in
the presence of an NRI from a TMSI identity, we always need to iterate all of
the MSCs to find possible NRI matches. The two round-robin sets (Emergency and
non-Emergency) are determined in the same loop iteration for cases that have no
or match no NRI, or where a matching MSC is currently disconnected.

Testing these functions is actually done in libosmocore. Also, with new
osmo_mobile_identity API, the functions being tested are marked deprecated. So
drop the test.
BTW, the test contained an IMSI of 16 digits, which is too long, yet was
expected to succeed. GSM23003_IMSI_MAX_DIGITS == 15. I first considered fixing
the test data, but the test is in the wrong place here anyway.

The separate struct osmo_bsc_data is like another separate struct gsm_network
for no reason. It is labeled "per-BSC data". These days, all of this is a
single BSC and there will not be different sets of osmo_bsc_data.
Drop struct osmo_bsc_data, move its members directly into gsm_network.
Some places tested 'if (net->bsc_data)', which is always true. Modify those
cases to rather do checks like 'if (net->rf_ctrl)', which are also always true
AFAICT, to keep as much unmodified logic as possible in this patch.

Another legacy feature. All that this setting effectively does is prevent MSCs
from being contacted for non-emergency calls. To select which MSCs shall handle
emergency calls, there is the allow_emerg flag.

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.

It is not entirely clear to me what this used to do once, but I've stumbled
upon this before. By now I am certain that this is a non-standard legacy
feature. The BSC does *not* redirect connections during CC transactions.
Along with this, a bunch of legacy utility functions can be dropped. All of
this is unused code.

Whether to forward the message or not to an SCCP connection is
an internal question for the GSM 04.08 code. Unlike errors with
the message decoding, memory allocation and other critical errors,
this not an error which should be reported to the caller.
abis_rsl_rx_rll() (the caller) shouldn't know about the message
routing decisions and should only care about actual errors.
This code path is hit in production very often because we frequently
receive a Classmark Change message from a phone right after the MSC
has shut the SCCP connection but before we close the lchan on the BTS.
