Pau Espin 1e79745e80 paging: Decouple retransmit period from regular worker interval
Before this patch, on each BTS a 500ms timer was used to schedule some
work, sending up to 20 paging requests verytime.

This means, however, for an initial paging request it may take up to
500ms delay to be scheduled to the BTS, which is huge.

While we still want to maintain this 500ms interval for retransmits, it
doesn't make sense to wait that much for other cases. It's far better
sending less requests (10 instead of 20) every half time (250ms instead
of 500ms), since it will spread the load and paging more over time,
allowing for other work to be done in the middle.

About OsmoBSC
=============

OsmoBSC originated from the OpenBSC project, which started as a minimalistic
all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OpenBSC had reached
maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and 3G support in the form of
IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead to a separation of the all-in-one
approach to fully independent separate programs as in typical GSM networks.

OsmoBSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. Before, it
worked as a standalone osmo-bsc binary as well as a combination of libbsc and
libmsc, i.e. the old OsmoNITB. Since the standalone OsmoMSC with a true A
interface (and IuCS for 3G support) is available, OsmoBSC exists only as a
separate standalone entity.

OsmoBSC exposes
- A over IP towards an MSC (e.g. OsmoMSC);
- Abis interfaces towards various kinds of BTS;
- The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.
