If queue size (in transmit delay of requests) is too long (above
threshold) when a new initial incoming request arrives, instead of
directly discarding it, see if we can drop a pending retransmission and
insert the new one instead, in order to avoid losing initial requests.
This is done under the assumption that it is more important to transmit
intial requests than to retransmit already transmitted ones. The
rationale is that there's lower chances that an MS which didn't answer
lately will answer now (aka being reachable at the cell), so it's better
to allocate resources for new requests (new MS) which may be available
in the cell.

Initial requests: paging requests which haven't been yet transmitted
Retrans requests: paging requests which have already been transmitted at
least once.
Until now one queue was used (llist) to store both. The initial requests
were stored at the start of the queue in FIFO order. After the last
initial requests, the retrans requests followed also in FIFO.
This ordering was used in order to prioritze scheduling of initial
paging requests over retransmit paging requests.
In the end, having both types in the same list only make code handling
the list more complex.
Hence, this patch splits the shared llist into 2 llists.

Prevent BSC overloading in the event of too many BTS try to connect.
E.g. a network outage between the BSC and BTS.
The BSC will accept incoming OML connection, but will delay sending
any BSC originated messages.

When looking up "BCCH-FREQ-NCELL i" from the measurement report, don't
treat the BCCH channel list as one list sorted by ascending ARFCN.
Instead, treat it as two sub lists, one for the same band, and one for
channels in different bands, as described in 3GPP TS 04.08 § 10.5.2.20.
This fixes getting the wrong ARFCN from measurement reports in
multi-band BSS, which leads to failing handovers.

This change implements an additional channel allocation mode, which
can be employed during a TCH channel allocation for assignment.
Selection between ascending and descending order is performed
depending on pre-configured parameters:
* Uplink RxLev threshold and number of samples for averaging,
* C0 (BCCH carrier) channel load threshold.
This is useful in setups where Tx power of the RF carriers cannot be
adjusted +dynamically at run-time and thus BS Power Control cannot
be performed. In such setups the BCCH carrier is transmitting at
relatively higher power than the other RF carriers. The key idea
is to allocate channels in a smarter way, so that UEs with poor signal
would get channels on carriers with high Tx power, while UEs with good
signal could use carriers with lower Tx power.

A follow-up patch implements a special channel allocation mode, which is
only working for assignment (basically TCH selection for a voice call).
This mode cannot be employed for initial CHANNEL REQUEST or handover due
to the absence of an already established lchan.
Adding this mode to the existing VTY command syntax would be confusing:
channel allocator (ascending|desscending|dynamic)
^^^^^^^
so this patch extends the VTY syntax in a way that it becomes possible
to configure different channel allocator modes for different cases:
OsmoBSC(config-net-bts)# channel allocator mode ?
set-all Set a single mode for all variants
chan-req Channel allocation for CHANNEL REQUEST (RACH)
assignment Channel allocation for assignment
handover Channel allocation for handover
The old command syntax, which is basically 'set-all', is kept for
backwards compatibility, but marked as deprecated.

Current regex 'handover' is way too restrictive because it completely
forbids the use of word 'handover'. Adding new VTY commands with this
word in the syntax makes this VTY test fail.
Use regex '^\s+handover', which only matches lines starting with
some whitespace and the word 'handover'. Lines simply containing
the word 'handover' will be ignored.

For statistical clarity and site tuning, it is sometimes
desirable to completely disable the use of TCH for signaling.
In the existing version of this VTY command, there is no way to
accomplish this. We can only restrict TCH for signaling non-voice
related actions.
This patch deprecates 'allow-tch-for-signalling (0|1)' and
adds 'tch-signalling-policy (never|emergency|voice|always)' to
provide more options.

The all_allocated_update_bsc() does inefficient iterating to count
active/inactive lchans, which scales badly for high numbers of TRX
managed by osmo-bsc.
We need to update the all_allocated flags immediately (periodic counting
alone would suffer from undersampling), so, until now, we are calling
this inefficient function every time a channel state changes.
Instead of iterating all channels for any chan state changes anywhere,
keep global state of the current channel counts, and on channel state
change only update those ts, trx, bts counts that actually change.
A desirable side effect: for connection stats and handover decision 2,
we can now also use the globally updated channel counts and save a bunch
of inefficient iterations.
To get accurate channel counts at all times, spread around some
chan_counts_ts_update() calls in pivotal places. It re-counts the given
timeslot and cascades counter changes, iff required.
Just in case I missed some channel accounting, still run an inefficient
iterating count regularly that detects errors, logs them and fixes them.
No real harm done if such error appears. None show in ttcn3 BSC_Tests.
It is fine to do the inefficient iteration once per second; channel
state changes can realistically happen hundreds of times per second.

This way we avoid triggering timers and doing extra poll loops for each
BTS which is configured but not up. It also has the effect of removing
logging about estimating paging buffers for BTS which are down, which
can be confusing.
Furthermore, since work is delayed until the TRX and cell in general is
configured, the first estimation is properly done now since the correct
configuration is in place at that time.

This was so far workarounded in tests by manually freeing the fields.
However, in follow-up patch the paging queue will also be properly
freed, so free of the counters needs to be previously fixed too so that
counters are freed at the right point of time.
Otherwise, during paging queue flush, counters are used and would crash
because they were freed before the BTS object in each test's bts_del().

When bad RxQual causes handover to a cell with weaker RxLev, then
handover oscillation *will* happen, as shown in test_rxqual.ho_vty.
Introduce a penalty timer for a cell where we had bad RxQual.
This delays handover back to the cell with stronger RxLev by the penalty
timeout; hopefully the interference is gone after the timeout.
Usually, we set new configuration elements so that osmo-bsc behaves the
same as before the config item was added. In this instance, this makes
no sense, because no-one ever wants handover oscillation from bad
RxQual, which is guaranteed to happen without the new penalty timer. Set
it to 60 seconds by default, same as other penalty timers.

I find it weird that we store the A5 algorithm ID in a format that
is used on the wire: N + 1 (valid for both A-bis and A interfaces).
What confused me even more is that in some functions we print it
as if it was in a normal, human-readable format. And this is
also why one can see weird constructions like:
if (lchan->encr.alg_id > ALG_A5_NR_TO_RSL(0)) { ... }
Let's ensure that our internal structures use the A5/N format:
alg_id=0: A5/0 (0x01 on the A-bis/A interface)
alg_id=1: A5/1 (0x02 on the A-bis/A interface)
alg_id=2: A5/2 (0x03 on the A-bis/A interface)
...
alg_id=7: A5/7 (0x08 on the A-bis/A interface)
so that we can print and compare the value of alg_id without using
additional arithmetics. Let's also rename 'alg_id' to 'alg_a5_n'
as it most clearly indicates which representation it is storing.
This is how the above code snippet would look like:
if (lchan->encr.alg_a5_n > 0) { ... }

Teach osmo-bsc to handle empty N-Connect. So far we were always
expecting user data in an SCCP N-Connect from an MSC. However, it is
perfectly valid for an initial BSSMAP request to follow later.
This is relevant for:
- Handover Request (incoming inter-BSC handover)
- Perform Location Request (query physical location of the MS)
Add state WAIT_INITIAL_USER_DATA with new timeout net X25. Always enter
this state so that we don't have two separate code paths for handling
initial user data.

This commit demonstrates what happens when a cell has channels in
both P-GSM and E-GSM bands (case 'c'). As can be seen from:
Case a) only the BCCH carrier: 10
Case b) more carriers from P-GSM band: 1 3 10 64 99 124
Case c) more carriers from E-GSM band: 1 3 10 64 99 124
in both cases 'b' and 'c' we have the same set of ARFCNs. Carriers
from the E-GSM band are not present at all. This is wrong and will
be fixed in the follow up change(s).

osmo-trx-uhd with a B200 has proven to provide bad (lower than usually
considered good) C/I values due to high noise (even with band filters in
place). Hence, default thresholds (gathered from literature on the topic)
are too high and end up in bad algorithm output decisions.
Furthermore, most users of Osmocom don't use it in densely populated
areas, hence RXLEV based algorithm used when C/I based one is disabled
is good enough.
Let's disable C/I based one by default, and let advanced users which
specific needs to enable and confiure thresholds specifically for their
needs (hardware, cell surrounding conditions, etc.).
