Reshuffle the decision not to activate PDCH when GPRS is off:
Even though all current callers should avoid passing a PDCH activation in case
GPRS is off, it's a better idea to not assert on it and crash osmo-bsc.
Move the decision to omit PDCH activation and logging about it into the actual
functions that do PDCH activation. If PDCH activation is skipped, the lchan
then just stays as it was, and that's what it should anyway be doing.

In osmo-nitb, the way TCH lchans were assigned often resulted in mismatching
TCH kinds, causing problems in the lack of transcoding. Hence
dyn_ts_allow_tch_f was introduced as a workaround.
Now however, we always assign an SDCCH to a requesting MS first, and only later
assign a TCH channel, which then adheres to the codec list configured at 'msc'
in the vty config. Hence it is now considerably harder to obtain a mismatch.
Furthermore, forcing specific codecs is possible by simply omitting the
unwanted ones from the msc config's codec-list. The equivalent of
'dyn_ts_allow_tch_f 0' could be e.g. 'codec-list hr3 hr2 hr1'.

In rsl_chan_activate_lchan(), remove a condition to also allow switching pchan
modes when not in PDCH mode, which is actually not needed and would hinder
switching from pchan=NONE or between TCH/F <-> TCH/H.
Refactor the part where lchan_alloc() decides to switch a pchan mode into a
separate function, ts_usable_as_pchan(), which transparently checks both dyn TS
kinds for:
- Already in switchover? (missing check for ip.access style dyn TS)
- Is the lchan->state in error? (missing check for ip.access style dyn TS)
- Switch from pchan=NONE? (missing feature for Osmocom style dyn TS, for proper
handling with gprs mode none)
- Switch between TCH/F <-> TCH/H when all subslots are unused?
(missing feature for Osmocom style dyn TS, also useful for gprs mode none)
Always pass the desired pchan in the dyn_as_pchan argument to the _lc_find_*
functions to make switchover decisions transparent. Use the _lc_dyn_find_bts()
function for ip.access style dyn TS for the same reason.

Recent Icf6e25ff068e8a2600562d52726ead65e864ec02 changed the dyn_ts_init() hook
from bootstrap_rsl() to the Channel OPSTART ACK, but this is not sufficient.
Now RBS2k never calls dyn_ts_init(), and we may need to wait for RSL:
Dyn TS should actually be initialized only when *both* OML opstart and RSL link
are established. To that end, introduce a generalized API to query OML and RSL
status and to trigger a timeslot init at the appropriate time.
Add gsm_ts_check_init() to be called both when RSL and OML opstart are
established: trigger gsm_ts_init() only when both are given.
Add gsm_bts_trx_ts->initialized flag to mark whether initialization has already
taken place. Add gsm_bts_mark_all_ts_uninitialized() to conveniently clear this
flag for all TS in a BTS.
Add gsm_bts_model.oml_is_ts_ready() callback so that each BTS implementation
can return the OML status of a timeslot in its own OML implementation.
Actually, currently all BTS models that need this init mechanism store the TS'
OML status in ts->mo.nm_state. While we would in practice correctly init dyn TS
by just looking at ts->mo.nm_state, semantically, the decision whether the TS
is ready is up to the BTS models' specific OML implementations.
From bootstrap_rsl(), call gsm_ts_check_init(), in case the TS OML Opstart has
happened before RSL is established -- applies to all BTS models.
For all BTS models:
- call gsm_{bts,trx}_mark_all_ts_uninitialized() when OM is torn down, to make
sure the TS init mechanism will work a second time.
For all BTS models supporting dyn TS, i.e. osmo-bts, nanobts and RBS2k:
- implement oml_is_ts_ready().
- call gsm_ts_check_init() when a Channel OM is taken into operation.
Any BTS models that don't set oml_is_ts_ready() will see a ts init as soon as
RSL is bootstrapped (incidentally, the old dyn TS behavior before recent
Icf6e25ff068e8a2600562d52726ead65e864ec02).
This firstly fixes dyn TS for RBS2k by re-adding the initial switch to PDCH,
and furthermore does so only after both OML TS opstart and RSL are through.
This fixes the ttcn3-bsc-tests around dyn TS, since for the osmo-bts-virtual,
the RSL is established only after OML opstart on the TS, which was broken by
Icf6e25ff068e8a2600562d52726ead65e864ec02.
Nokia Site and Siemens BS11 practically do not require this init mechanism,
since all that happens there so far is dyn TS init, and these BTS models do not
support dyn TS of any kind. A future patch may add oml_is_ts_ready().

Typically, an lchan that is released should no longer be associated with
subscriber connection. If that is the case, an S_LCHAN_UNEXPECTED_RELEASE is
triggered, which aborts, e.g., an ongoing assignment.
However, with dynamic timeslots, we may set lchan->conn and then start to
switch over from PDCH to a TCH mode, in which case it is perfectly fine to
release an lchan that is associated to a conn.
In lchan_free(), do not fire S_LCHAN_UNEXPECTED_RELEASE for a dyn TS that is
currently in switchover.
This is the second and last part to fix dynamic timeslots handling of the

Set lchan->state to LCHAN_S_ACT_REQ in rsl_chan_activate_lchan(), not in
handle_new_assignment().
This is the first part of a fix for dynamic timeslots handling in the gscon.
Rationale:
In rsl_chan_activate_lchan(), we may choose to set the lchan state to
LCHAN_S_REL_REQ and wait for dyn TS switchover from PDCH.
So the caller from bsc_api.c handle_new_assignment() must not bluntly set the
state to LCHAN_S_ACT_REQ, which is not accurate in the case of dyn TS
switchover.
In case of dyn TS switchover, a later release ack received from the BTS will
cause rsl_chan_activate_lchan() to be called again, at which point we may
accurately set state LCHAN_S_ACT_REQ, and continue the Assignment.

At this point, meas-feed is usable again, however, osmo-bsc is not able to
include the IMSI in every report like osmo-nitb did.
In consequence, the meas-vis and meas-web tools are unable to handle the
current measurement reports: these so far use the IMSI to list reports, and all
reports without an IMSI are collapsed onto the same line, swapping values.
So though osmo-bsc now sends usable measurement reports via meas-feed, two
avenues to improve should be pursued:
OS#3192: the visualization tools should use bts,ts,ss numbers, not IMSI.
OS#2969: osmo-bsc should always know a mobile identity.

Take both the operative and administrative states into account
when deciding whether to start ACC ramping, and examine old/new
state values to avoid triggering ramping for a no-op state change.
This requires a fix to gsm_trx_lock_rf(): This function overwrote
the old administrative state of a trx before enqueuing a state
change request towards the BTS.
The BTS will confirm this request with an ACK, at which time a
signal is generated which the ACC ramp code listens to. We must
not overwrite the old state value until the signal has been handled,
otherwise the signal handler cannot tell what the old state was.
Tested with a virtphy setup, nanobts, and osmo-bts.

Starting an ACC ramping process while TRX 0 is unusable or locked is
pointless. For instance, after loading a config with 'rf_locked 1'
for trx 0, the ramping process was started as soon as the BTS
established RSL, even though the air interface was still down.
ACC ramping should instead be triggered once TRX 0 is unlocked.

Trigger ACC ramping not only when an Administrative State Change
ACK is received from a BTS, but also when an administrative state
change is reported for TRX 0 in a State Changed Event Report.
This should allow ACC ramping to work with any BTS which reports
an administrative state change to 'unlock' using either of these
OML messages.
Tested with a sysmobts and a nanobts.
The sysmobts only reports TRX locked/unlock changes in Administrative
State Change ACKs, not via State Changed Event Reports.
The nanobts is known to send both of these OML messages in quick
succession, so do not re-trigger ramping if it's already in progress.

There are plans to register signal handlers in acc_ramp_init(). Once we
do that, the acc_ramp_init() function should only be called once to
avoid duplicate signal handlers on the handler list.
However, the acc_ramp_init() function currently serves a dual-purpose:
1) Initialize the acc_ramp structure for a bts
2) Enable or disable ACC ramping
Add new functions to support use case 2, and call acc_ramp_init()
just once while reading the configuration file. The VTY commands
which enable/disable ACC ramping use the new APIs instead.
Also, rename acc_ramp_start() to acc_ramp_trigger() and tweak its
semantics so that it can always be called regardless of what the
current configuration settings are. This prepares us for triggering
ACC ramping upon events other than "RSL link-up".

Remove a redundant call to acc_ramp_init() during bootstrap_bts().
ACC ramping state is already initialized during VTY config parsing,
and bootstrap_bts() accidentally disabled ACC ramping again even
if it was enabled in the configuration.
This bug was introduced in last-minute refactoring during
review of https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/6324/ when the
acc_ramping_enabled flag was moved from struct gsm_bts to
the acc_ramp structure itself.
Also remove an acc_ramp_init() call in bootstrap_rsl().
It is no longer needed as it serves no purpose other than
initializing the bitmasks of barred ACCs. To ensure that
ACC ramping configuration provided to the BTS via system
information stays correct, we move the call to acc_ramp_start(),
which has the same effect on barred ACCs, further up.

Removing the dead VTY commands currently breaks our ttcn3-bts-test and is

I verified manually that starting osmo-bsc with all the abovementioned VTY
