This is used only in integration testing, where in the TTCN-3 testsuite
we currently have no A-bis OML implementation, but only a RSL one.

This patch adds a virtual physical layer designed to simulate the
Um air interface between BTS and MS. It does so by encapsulating MAC
blocks (Layer 2 PDUs) via GSMTAP and sending them through multicast UDP
streams, both in uplink and in downlink.
The purpose of this is enable testing without any radio hardware or
related licenses.
OsmocomBB has recently received as similar patch-set, adding a virty_phy
executable that can be run on a PC instead of the classic 'layer1'
firmware on a real phone.
Using GSMTAP means that one can use unmodified wireshark to decode the
messages exchanged on the virtual Um layer.
This code was originally started by Harald in January 2016, continued
by Sebastian Stumpf in late 2016 and early 2017, and finally completed
by Harald in July 2017.

This commit adds basic support for the Litecell 1.5. Multi-TRX is not
supported yet. Instead, multiple instances of the BTS can be launched
using command line parameter -n <HW_TRX_NR> to specify if TRX 1 or
2 must be used by the bts. Note that only TRX 1 opens a connection to
the PCU. Full support for GPRS on both TRX will come at the same time
than the multi-TRX support.
The BTS manager has been adapted to match the new hardware but otherwise
it has not been improved or changed compared to the one used on the
SuperFemto/Litecell (sysmobts).
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.
