Currently the UL measurements (RSSI, ToA256, C/I) of the burst that
concludes a block are passed up to the higher layers. This means
that the measurement values of the other bursts are skipped.
Let's keep record of all UL measurements and average the values
before we pass them up to the higher layers. Use a simple ring
buffer to store the measurement history (up to 8 unique entries
for now). Remove *_num/*_sum variables from l1sched_chan_state.

Otherwise they may be set to ENABLED before CHAN SET ATTR and OPSTART
are sent, and oml_rx_opstart will blindly OPSTART ack (because they are
already enabled) and avoid configuring the timeslots.
That can happen if phy_link & rsl link get ready before receiving all
the OML CHAN SET ATTR and OPSTART commands on all RadioChannels.

MA (Mobile Allocation) is actually a bit-mask indicating those ARFCNs
of the Cell Allocation, which must be used as the hopping sequence.
What we store in struct gsm_bts_trx_ts is the actual list of hopping
channels, so let's name it properly and eliminate possible confusion.

Most likely, this part of the structure was copy-pasted from the
corresponding definition in osmo-bsc. In osmo-bts we always
establish a single per-BTS OML link, not per-TRX.

If for whatever reason a TS stops being announced as available to the
PCU (for instance because the TRX became administratively locked), the
PCU will send a Release for that channel, but in that case we don't want
to send an RSL RF Channel Release ACK because it was not initiated by
related command from BSC.
In the case of a simple PDCH timeslot (no dynamic), the behavior is
already there but we don't print an error log since it's expected.
In the case of a dyn osmo TS, we only need to respond to RF Channel
Release when PDCH is deactivated here, but in other cases we don't need
to submit anything to BSC.

Avoid announcing to PCU as available a dyn TS not yet fully
configured in the phy. Otherwise when we receive the Chan Activation
over the PCU sock while pchan_is still is not PDCH, and we fail to fully
activate the channel at that time.
See previous commit description for more information on the issue.
We still want to check for pchan_want because we actually want to stop
announcing the TS when it is in progress of being changed to TCH. This
configuration change is continued/finished once we receive the resulting
Release from PCU.

Something is wrong currently with dynamic TS and PDCH activation.
Apparently there's a race condition between activation in BTS lower
layers (example in TRXC) and against PCU.
Currently, when a GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_TCH_H_PDCH is configured, we set
ts->dyn.pchan_want = GSM_PCHAN_PDCH and submit the async activation
through lower layers (CMD SETSLOT), and once the lower layer acks it we
set ts->dyn.pchan_is = pchan_want (when receiving RSP SETSLOT). However,
we seem to be advertising available TS to PCU based on pchan_want,
instead of pchan_is, which means we advertise channels not yet fully
configured. As a result, we may receive a Channel Act coming from PCU
for a given TS for which we didn't receive confirmation from upper
layers, meaning pchan_is is still GSM_PCHAN_NONE. This is by no means
expected in following code, so let's avoid going further over it.
Actual issue will be fixed in follow-up patch.

It was spotted that sometimes chan_nr BCCH was printed for a TS
containing configured as GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_TCH_H_PDCH, which was totally
confusing. Indeed the problem is somewhere else, but let's log an error
and return 0 in this case, which will be converted to "UNKNOWN" string
later on.

Operative state is mainly maintained based on 2 requirements:
* phy_link being in CONNECTED state
* RSL connection being up and ready
However, state change report triggered over OMl towards BSC was only
done upon the first event of the two. That means that if for whatever
reason the RSL connection was established AFTER the phy_link became
CONNECTED (ie receiving RSP POWERON in osmo-bts-trx), then the status
towards the BSC would not be updated and hence the BSC would still see
the Radio Carrier object as DISABLED.
The trx_set_available() function is renamed to trx_operability_update()
to keep the logic conditions in one place, and different events
triggering a change in state simply call the function and let it handle
the new state.

In general, it is always set to 1 (Locked) in
st_open_poweroff_on_enter() right after initial POWEROFF, and once the
BSC unlocks it (based on VTY cfg "rf_locked (0|1)") by sending an OML
message, the bts_model_chg_adm_state() call will update it sending
RFMUTE.
This basically fixes the case where osmo-bsc.cfg is configured with
"rf_locked 1" to start with a TRX locked until manually unlocked.

Since commit 221ee92551,
bts_model_trx_deact_rf() was being called when RF locking the TRX, which
was implemented by resetting the scheduler. This proved to be a messy
and wrong way to emulate disabling RF, since it modifies tate on lots of
structures from which it is later difficult to recover from, causing
bugs and issues like:
82a35a1dbfbe15a12c87eef420d1cahttps://osmocom.org/issues/4694https://osmocom.org/issues/4695https://osmocom.org/issues/4696https://osmocom.org/issues/4697
So for all these reasons, it is believed a good solution to avoid
resetting the scheduler and simply ask lower layers (osmo-trx) to take
care of disabling RF TX/RX on a given TRX. For TRX implementations not
supporting the newly added RFMUTE command, ramping down to -10dBm still
provides for a way to emulate RF locking. In any case, none of this was
supported until recently so it's not like we are breaking some feature
here.

It was reported that both osmo-bsc and osmo-bts-trx may end up
running in a half-broken state, when everything looks good and
the UEs can see the network, but all channel requests get
rejected due to "trx not usable" error:
lchan_select.c:173 (bts=0) lchan_select_by_type(SDCCH)
lchan_select.c:48 looking for lchan CCCH+SDCCH4: (bts=0,trx=0) trx not usable

lchan_select.c:48 looking for lchan TCH/F: (bts=0,trx=0) trx not usable
lchan_select.c:239 (bts=0) Failed to select TCH_F channel
As was then figured out, this happens because the Radio Carrier
MO (Managed Object) remains Disabled even after the BSC has
sent OPSTART and the BTS ACKed it:
oml.c:986 OC=RADIO-CARRIER(02) INST=(00,00,ff): Rx OPSTART
l1_if.c:614 Rx OPSTART for RADIO-CARRIER MO
l1_if.c:201 TRX_PROV(phy0-0)[0x1238c0]{OPEN_POWERON}:
Event TRX_PROV_EV_CFG_ENABLE not permitted
oml.c:144 OC=RADIO-CARRIER(02) INST=(00,00,ff): Tx Opstart Ack
It remains a mistery why the TRX_PROV FSM is already in state
OPEN_POWERON, while it's expected to be in state OPEN_POWEROFF,
but we definitely should not ACKnowledge the OPSTART if this
happens. Send a NACK instead with cause NM_NACK_CANT_PERFORM.

It's more convenient to use one command to enable/disable sending

See previous commit adding the unit test about the error description and
expected behavior.
The wrong behavior appeared due to step_size_mdB being unsigned and the
whole addition at the left side of the comparison being turned too as
unsigned, hence a small negative value turning into a big positive
value, and tpp->p_total_cur_mdBm not being updated to speed up the power
ramping.

The test code is extended to support testing more than one ramping loop.
A new test ramping test is added, which shows buggy behavior, since
being in -10dBm and targeting 10dBm with max_initial_pout_mdBm=0 should
immediatelly jump -10->0 and then slowly ramp up (2dB) 0->10dB.
The issue will be fixed in next commit.

osmotrx fn-advance (which is the clock_advance variable here) and
osmotrx rts-advance together make up the minimum delay the BTS can react
to a channel request, etc.
The default of 20 are around 92ms which is clearly too much. With
modern hardware and using SCHED_RR a lower value should not be an issue.

The idea behind the baseband frequency hopping is quite simple: we
have several RF carriers (transceivers) transmitting and receiving
on fixed frequencies (just like in a regular multi-trx setup), and
an additional burst routing layer between the schedulear and the
transceiver interface (TRXD over UDP).
Speaking in terms of the proposed implementation:
- on Downlink, dlfh_route_br() calculates the ARFCN corresponding
to the current TDMA frame number according to the hopping sequence
parametets, and picks the transceiver with matching ARFCN;
- on Uplink, ulfh_route_bi() iterates over the transceiver list of
of the BTS, calculating hopping ARFCNs for equivalent timeslots,
and picks the one with ARFCN matching the received burst.
In order to avoid frequent transceiver lookups on the Downlink path,
dlfh_route_br() maintains a "cache" in the timeslot state structure.
Unfortunately, this "cache" seems to be useless on the Uplink path,
so ulfh_route_bi() always needs to lookup the matching transceiver
for each burst received over the TRXD interface.
It may also happen that the scheduler will be unable to route an
Uplink or Downlink burst, e.g. due to inconsistent / incorrect
hopping sequence parameters received from the BSC, or in case
if a transceiver gets RF-locked by the BTS operator.
Such events are logged as "FATAL" and aditionally signalled by the
following osmo-bts-trx specific rate counters:
- trx_sched:dl_fh_no_carrier (Downlink), and
- trx_sched:ul_fh_no_carrier (Uplink).
