When a bad SACCH frame is received the processing of the frame is ended
early and lchan_ms_pwr_ctrl() is not called. This means that the power
control loop does not get informed about a situation where the signal
level is very weak and increasing the ms power would make sense. In
order to ensure that the power control keeps working on lost SACCH
frames, lets call lchan_ms_pwr_ctrl() with the current RSSI and the
requested (BSC) power setting.

osmo-bts currently does not generate a measurement report in case the
SACCH of the related traffic channel is lost. This is a problem because
the moment when reception gets bad measurmenet reporting is crucial to
carry out handover decisions effectively.
The presence of a SACCH block controls the conclusion of the measurement
interval and the sending of the RSL measurement report. The latter one
not only requires a measurmenet indication, it also requires a fully
intact SACCH block.
Lets use the NOPE / IDLE indications from V1 of the TRXD protocol to
ensure a SACCH block is always reported up to l1sap.c. In cases where
the SACCH is bad, trigger the sending of the RSL measurement report
manually without attaching the measurmenet data from the MS (which we do
not have in this case)

osmo-bts-trx used to have its own (low-level) MS Power Control loop,
but recently it has been ripped out. Since [1], the process fails to
start if the configuration file still contains 'ms-power-control dsp'.
Let's be more tolerant: override 'dsp' by 'osmo' and print a warning.

Rename some variables so that:
* Variables containing power control levels end up with "_lvl".
* Variables containing power levels end up with _dbm.
* Move old current_dbm var to be ms_dbm, to match its power control
level counterpart ms_power_lvl, and add current_dbm to match its
counterpart ns_power_ctrl.current.
Now that variables are more clear, it also becomes clear that old "diff >
0" condition, apart from difficult, was currently wrong, since in order
to print the raise/low verb we want to compare between old and new
values, not between received and new values. Let's fix that in this same
commit.

Let's drop it instead of having code duplication from common code in a
lower layer, and maintain only the one in l1sap for all BTS models.
As a result, osmo-bts-trx loses feature BTS_FEAT_MS_PWR_CTRL_DSP and
will only be able to use "ms-power-control osmo" in VTY, which will be
enabled by default (meaning: change of behavior, now MS Power Control is
enabled by default in osmo-bts-trx and can only by disabled by BSC).
Old bts-trx specific VTY command "(no) osmotrx ms-power-loop" is marked
as deprecated but still working for more usual case (1 TRX configured)
to avoid breaking backward compatibility.
TA low level loop is still kept in loops.c and will be moved to l1sap at
some point too.

Since there can be multiple PDCH channels configured on different
timeslots, different TRXes, and BTSes, the PTCCH/U handling code
in OsmoPCU needs to know the exact origin of a given RACH.ind.
Otherwise, it is not known which subscriber originated a given
PTCCH/U indication, and hence it is impossible to send PTCCH/D
Timing Advance notification properly.
Fortunately, we can extend the RACH.ind message without even
bumping the protocol version, because every single PDU has a
fixed size defined by the largest message - INFO.ind. In case
if the actual message payload is smaller, the rest is filled
with a constant padding byte (0x00).
Older versions of OsmoPCU will consider the new fields as padding,
while the messages from older OsmoBTS versions will always have
both fields set to 0x00. Since C0/TS0 cannot be configured to
PDCH, this can be easily detected on the other end.

It's not a good idea to request big changes in MS Power based on
sporadic bad signal received, let's instead change announced MS power
levels more smoothly to avoid possible big signal strength fluctations,
similar to what is already done in osmo-bts-trx specific loop (loops.c).
Related: OS#1851
Change-Id: Iecc4ec7e21471ec853ad2d5659af4052aba5444c
Use instead the received MS Power currently in use by the MS matching
the measured signal. This way there's no need to wait for the MS to
reach the announced MS power level or add checks in case the MS doesn't
support that specific power level. Furthermore, more fine grained
announced power level value can be obtained faster due to more input
iterations not being dropped while waiting.
osmo-bts-trx specific algo was not following this approach and using
announced MS power instead because it's wowrking at a lower level and
henche was not using the transmitted MS Power level value by the MS as
input for the calculation.
The "if (diff < 2 && diff > -2))" condition is dropped since equal
signal strength may still result in a different MS power level announced
(the one currently used by the MS during tx of last SACCH block).

It indicates whether BTS model supports managing an MS Power Control
Loop over HW/DSP instead of using the software based osmocom algorithm
present in osmo-bts.
osmo-bts-trx own loop implementation is considered to be a "DSP/HW" one
since it acts on lower layers and interferes with osmocom algorithm
since it controls the same end variable "lchan->ms_power_ctrl.current",
this way we make sure both aren't enabled at the same time.
Old behavior in kept: if common upper-layer algo is not enabled
explicitly in VTY (ms-power-control osmo) and bts-trx specific lower
layer algo is neither enabled (osmotrx ms-power-loop <xyz>), then no
power control is done at all.

Some bands, such as DCS1800, contain power levels such as 29, 30 and 31 not following same
unified sequence other power levels follow regarding conversion to dBm
values.
This makes extremly complex and prone to error comparing different power
levels. Let's instead use dBm values to calculate and crop desired new
value, and then convert it back to TS 05.05 ms power control level
value.
With this commit the control loop should be able to manage correctly the MS power
