So far we would cancel ongoing Paging for a given MSC only after receiving a
RESET message from that BSC. However, the typical operation would be that
OsmoBSC *sends* a RESET and receives a RESET-ACK.
Instead, move the call to within osmo_bsc_sigtran_reset(). This is also called
when OsmoBSC considers the A-interface link to be lost, from the a_reset.c
code, after multiple SCCP connection failures.

Separate the a_reset FSM implementation from BSSMAP and MSC specifics, so that
it can be re-used on the Lb interface.
Move the FSM implementation to bssmap_reset.c and tweak, to match common practices we
have generally established in our osmo_fsm implementations.
Keep a_reset.h and a_reset.c and redirect to bssmap_reset.c.
A difficulty is setting a proper logging category: the FSM definition allows
only one fixed logging category for FSM state transitions and events. Ideally,
the BSSMAP reset fsm would log on DMSC, and the BSSMAP-LE reset fsm would log
on DLCS. Since that is not possible, introduce a separate DRESET logging
category. This in fact matches an item on my wishlist, because if a given MSC
is configured but currently not connected, the previous RESET FSM would
continuously "spam" log LOGL_NOTICE messages indicating that it is resending
RESET, and I often want to silence those messages without silencing the entire
DMSC category. This is now easily possible by setting DRESET logging to
LOGL_ERROR. There is additional "link up" / "link lost" logging on DMSC, so all
interesting info is still visible on DMSC.

Location Services brings a new scenario to OsmoBSC: the MSC may create an
A-interface conn for a subscriber without an lchan being established (N-CONNECT
from MSC to BSC, so far only for an incoming inter-BSC handover).
If an MS becomes active while an A-interface conn is already established,
associate with an existing conn.

Old osmo-bsc-sccplite already supported this, but in the migration
over to libosmo-sigtran and to real 3GPP AoIP, this functionality
got lost.
We now create a UDP proxy socket. Any MGCP commands received via IPA
from MSC (or rather: bsc_nat) are retransmitted to the MGW via UDP on
this socket. Any responses back from the MGW received on the UDP
socket are retransmitted back to MSC/bsc_nat as MGCP inside the IPA
multiplex.

The bsc_msc_connection dates back to the old pre-libosmo-sigtran
days, and 90% of the field members weren't used at all (even the
new sigtran specific ones!). Let's merge what remains into struct
bsc_msc_data.
As a side effect, the already dysfunctional "dest A.B.C.D" VTY
command has been removed from the MSC node.
There's quite a bit of fall-out in the CTRL interface, which was
the code with strongest ties to bsc_msc_connection. This was
resolved by properly porting CTRL handling over to libosmo-sigtran,
meaning that an IPA/SCCPlite connected MSC can now again send CTRL
GET/SET commands, and can also receive those selective few TRAPs
that old osmo-bsc-sccplite also sent to its MSC[s].

In the current implementation of osmo-bsc, the subscriber connection is
not handled (very) statefully. However, there is some state keeping in the
code that handles the mgcp connection, but there are still to much loose ends
which allow odd situations to happen, which then lead severe error situations
(see also closes tags at the end) This commit adds a number of improvements
to fix those problems.
- Use an osmo-fsm to control the gsm_subscriber_connection state and
make sure that certain operations can only take place at certain states
(e.g let connection oriented SCCP traffic only pass when an SCCP connection
actually exists.
Remove the old osmo_bsc_mgcp.c code. Use the recently developed MGCP client
FSM to handle the MGCP connections.
Also make sure that stuff that already works does not break. This in
particular refers to the internal handover capability and the respective
unit-tests.
See also OS#2823, OS#2768 and OS#2898
- Fix logic to permit assignment to a signalling channel. (OS#2762)
- Introduce T993210 to release lchan + subscr_conn if MSC fails to respond
The GSM specs don't have an explicit timer for this, so let's introdcue
a custom timer (hence starting with 99).
This timeout catches the following situation:
* we send a SCCP CR with COMPL_L3_INFO from the MS to the MSC,
* the MSC doesn't respond (e.g. SCCP routing failure, program down, ...)
The MS is supposed to timeout with T3210, 3220 or 3230. But the BSC
shouldn't trust the MS but have some timer on its own.
SCCP would have a timer T(conn est), but that one is specified to be
1-2min and hence rather long.
See also: OS#2775
- Terminate bsc_subscr_conn_fsm on SCCP N-DISC.ind from MSC
If the MSC is disconnecting the SCCP channel, we must terminate the FSM
which in turn will release all lchan's and other state.
This makes TC_chan_rel_hard_rlsd pass, see also OS#2731
As a side-effect, this fixes TC_chan_act_ack_est_ind_refused(),
where the MSC is answering with CREF to our CR/COMPL_L3.
- Release subscriber connection on RLL RELEASE IND of SAPI0 on main DCCH
The subscriber connection isn't really useful for anything after the
SAPI0 main signalling link has been released. We could try to
re-establish, but our best option is probably simply releasing the
subscriber_conn and anything related to it.
This will make TC_chan_rel_rll_rel_ind pass, see also OS#2730

There was always a 1:1 correspondence between gsm_subscriber_connection
and osmo_bsc_sccp_con, so there's really no point in having two separate
dynamically allocated data structures with pointers back and forth and
another linked list around.
Let's merge osmo_bsc_sccp_con into gsm_subscriber_connection for
simplicity.
The resulting code might not be elegant in places, but I've tried to
do only the most simple changes in this patch, while further
simplifications can be done in later subsequent patches.
As a side-effect, this patch also fixes lchan clearing if the MSC
(or the local SCCP provider) hard-disconnects the SCCP connection.
