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.

- 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.

- 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
