Harald Welte 2fa9763fb8 OM2000: Add some more message types and IEs we now understand
OM2000 is not only used for the venerable RBS2000 family, but also
for the more modern RBS6000 family, specifically the DUG 20 GSM
baseband unit.

In RBS6000, there are some protocol extensions which are not yet fully
understood. However, we are understanding some bits around the MCTR
(multi carrier transceiver?), a new MO that appears to be present for
every physical RUS (Radio Unit) attached to the DUG 20.

Let's add what we have learned so far.

Thanks to Sylvain Munaut for his help with this.

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.
