When the paging queue is filled up to a critical level, pagings from the
PCU should be dropped as each immediate assignment paging from the PCU
is worth 4 normal CS pagings. Also the PCU may still issue pagings if the
paginging queue is already full and CS pagings are dropped. In a
congestion situation it is more important to get the CS rather than PS
pagings through.

gsm_bts_role_bts was introduced at a time when we still shared
gsm_data_shared.[ch] between BSC and BTS, and where we then subsequently
needed a BTS-private structure. Since that sharing was abandoned quite
some time ago, we can merge gsm_bts_role_bts into gsm_bts and do away
with the bts/btsb dualism in a lot of the code.

This patch extends paging_gen_msg() by adding an output parameter
is_empty that is true, if only a paging message with dummy entries
has been placed into buffer. This feature is then used by
bts_ccch_copy_msg() to insert an AGCH message if is_empty is true.

These attributes are saved in paging_state, we don't need to save them a
second time in struct gsm_bts_role_bts. Add get and set methods for
these attributes and use them consitently in the VTY code.
This may be adding bells and whistles that nobody wants to touch, but at
least for current analysis/optimiziation they are useful to have. Later
on they should probably be removed again and/or obsoleted by OML
messages for configuration of paging behaviour by the BSC.
This code re-works osmo-bts to add support for the upcoming sysmocom BTS.
It also tries to add some level of abstraction between the generic
part of a BTS (A-bis, RSL, OML, data structures, paging scheduling,
BCCH/AGCH scheduling, etc.) and the actual hardware-specific bits.
The hardware-specific bits are currently only implemented for the sysmocom
femtobts, but should be (re-)added for osmocom-bb, as well as a virtual
BTS for simulation purpose later.
The sysmocom bts specific parts require hardware-specific header files
which are (at least currently) not publicly distributed.
