Harald Welte 68e4be9c84 Remove 'struct bsc_msc_connection' + fix IPA-encapsulated CTRL 
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].

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.
