Each VLR requesting auth tuples should use a distinct IND pool for 3G auth. So
far we tied the IND to the GSUP peer connection; MSC and SGSN were always
distinct GSUP peers, they ended up using distinct INDs.
However, we have implemented a GSUP proxy, so that, in a distributed setup, a
remotely roaming subscriber has only one direct GSUP peer proxying for both
remote MSC and SGSN. That means as soon as a subscriber roams to a different
site, the site's MSC and SGSN compete for the same IND bucket, waste SQNs
rapidly and cause auth tuple generation load.
So instead of using the local client as IND, persistently keep a list of VLR
names and assign a different IND to each. Use the GSUP source_name as
indicator, which reflects the actual remote VLR's name.
Furthermore, make 100% sure that CS and PS pools can never collide, by keeping
all CS pools odd numbered and all PS pools even numbered.
Persist the site <-> IND assignments in the database.
Add an IND test to db_test.c

Add mslookup client to find remote home HLRs of unknown IMSIs, and
proxy/forward GSUP for those to the right remote HLR instances.
Add remote_hlr.c to manage one GSUP client per remote HLR GSUP address.
Add proxy.c to keep state about remotely handled IMSIs (remote GSUP address,
MSISDN, and probably more in future patches). The mslookup_server that
determines whether a given MSISDN is attached locally now also needs to look in
the proxy record: it is always the osmo-hlr immediately peering for the MSC
that should respond to mslookup service address queries like SIP and SMPP.
(Only gsup.hlr service is always answered by the home HLR.)
Add dgsm.c to set up an mdns mslookup client, ask for IMSI homes, and to decide
which GSUP is handled locally and which needs to go to a remote HLR.
Add full VTY config and VTY tests.
For a detailed overview of the D-GSM and mslookup related files, please see the

Implement the mslookup server to service remote mslookup requests.
This patch merely adds the logic to answer incoming mslookup requests, an
actual method to receive requests (mDNS) follows in a subsequent patch.
- API to configure service names and addresses for the local site (per MSC).
- determine whether a subscriber is on a local MSC
(checking the local proxy will be added in subsequent patch that adds proxy
capability).
- VTY config follows in a subsequent patch.

D-GSM will store in the HLR DB whether a locally connected MSC has attached the
subscriber (last_lu_seen[_ps]), or whether the attach happened via a GSUP proxy
from a different site.
Add columns for this separately in this patch.

For the GSUP clients in upcoming D-GSM enabled osmo-hlr, it will be necessary
to trigger an event as soon as a GSUP client connection becomes ready for
communication. Add the osmo_gsup_client->up_down_cb.
Add osmo_gsup_client_create3() pass the up_down_cb in the arguments. Also add
a cb data argument.
We need the callbacks and data pointer in the osmo_gsup_client_create()
function right before startup, because this function immediately starts up the
connection. Who knows whether callbacks might trigger right away.
Because there are so many arguments, and to prevent the need for ever new
versions of this function, pass the arguments as an extendable struct.

During code review it was requested to insert an ability to handle different
kinds of peer id, in order to be able to add a Global Title in the future.
Add this, but only in the publicly visible API. For osmo-hlr internal code, I
intend to push implementing this into the future, when a different peer
identification actually gets introduced.
This way we don't need to implement it now in all osmo-hlr code paths (save
time now), but still make all API users aware that this type may be extended in
the future.

These are seemingly orthogonal changes in one patch, because they are in fact
sufficiently intertwined that we are not willing to spend the time to separate
them. They are also refactoring changes, unlikely to make sense on their own.
** lu_fsm:
Attempting to make luop.c keep state about incoming GSUP requests made me find
shortcomings in several places:
- since it predates osmo_fsm, it is a state machine that does not strictly
enforce the order of state transitions or the right sequence of incoming
events.
- several places OSMO_ASSERT() on data received from the network.
- modifies the subscriber state before a LU is accepted.
- dead code about canceling a subscriber in a previous VLR. That would be a
good thing to actually do, which should also be trivial now that we record
vlr_name and sgsn_name, but I decided to remove the dead code for now.
To both step up the LU game *and* make it easier for me to integrate
osmo_gsup_req handling, I decided to create a lu_fsm, drawing from my, by now,
ample experience of writing osmo_fsms.
** osmo_gsup_req:
Prepare for D-GSM, where osmo-hlr will do proxy routing for remote HLRs /
communicate with remote MSCs via a proxy:
a) It is important that a response that osmo-hlr generates and that is sent
back to a requesting MSC contains all IEs that are needed to route it back to
the requester. Particularly source_name must become destination_name in the
response to be able to even reach the requesting MSC. Other fields are also
necessary to match, which were so far taken care of in individual numerous code
paths.
b) For some operations, the response to a GSUP request is generated
asynchronously (like Update Location Request -> Response, or taking the
response from an EUSE, or the upcoming proxying to a remote HLR). To be able to
feed a request message's information back into the response, we must thus keep
the request data around. Since struct osmo_gsup_message references a lot of
external data, usually with pointers directly into the received msgb, it is not
so trivial to pass GSUP message data around asynchronously, on its own.
osmo_gsup_req is the combined solution for both a and b: it keeps all data for
a GSUP message by taking ownership of the incoming msgb, and it provides an
explicit API "forcing" callers to respond with osmo_gsup_req_respond(), so that
all code paths trivially are definitely responding with the correct IEs set to
match the request's routing (by using osmo_gsup_make_response() recently added
to libosmocore).
Adjust all osmo-hlr code paths to use *only* osmo_gsup_req to respond to
incoming requests received on the GSUP server (above LU code being one of
them).
In fact, the same should be done on the client side. Hence osmo_gsup_req is
implemented in a server/client agnostic way, and is placed in
libosmo-gsupclient. As soon as we see routing errors in complex GSUP setups,
using osmo_gsup_req in the related GSUP client is likely to resolve those
problems without much thinking required beyond making all code paths use it.
libosmo-gsupclient is hence added to osmo-hlr binary's own library
dependencies. It would have been added by the D-GSM proxy routing anyway, we
are just doing it a little sooner.
** gsup_peer_id.c / osmo_ipa_name:
We so far handle an IPA unit name as pointer + size, or as just pointer with
implicit talloc size. To ease working with GSUP peer identification data, I
require:
- a non-allocated storage of an IPA Name. It brings the drawback of being
size limited, but our current implementation is anyway only able to handle
MSC and SGSN names of 31 characters (see struct hlr_subscriber).
- a single-argument handle for IPA Name,
- easy to use utility functions like osmo_ipa_name_to_str(), osmo_ipa_name_cmp(), and copying
by simple assignment, a = b.
Hence this patch adds a osmo_ipa_name in gsup_peer_id.h and gsup_peer_id.c. Heavily
used in LU and osmo_gsup_req.

Add the first actually useful lookup method to the mslookup library: multicast
DNS.
The server side is added in a subsequent commit, when the mslookup server is
implemented for the osmo-hlr program.
Use custom DNS encoding instead of libc-ares (which we use in OsmoSGSN
already), because libc-ares is only a DNS client implementation and we will
need both client and server.

mslookup is a key concept in Distributed GSM, which allows querying the current
location of a subscriber in a number of cooperating but independent core
network sites, by arbitrary service names and by MSISDN/IMSI.
Add the abstract mslookup client library. An actual lookup method (besides
mslookup_client_fake.c) is added in a subsequent patch.
For a detailed overview of this and upcoming patches, please see the elaborate
comment at the top of mslookup.c.
Add as separate library, libosmo-mslookup, to allow adding D-GSM capability to
arbitrary client programs.
osmo-hlr will be the only mslookup server implementation, added in a subsequent
patch.
osmo-hlr itself will also use this library and act as an mslookup client, when
requesting the home HLR for locally unknown IMSIs.

Despite LTE/EUTRAN using the same authentication procedure (UMTS AKA)
as 3G, there's one difference: The "operator defined" 16bit AMF field
is reduced to 15 bits, with the first bit now being used as 'separation
bit'. That bit should be '0' for 2G/3G (as it is right now) and '1'
for authentication vectores generated for authentication over
EUTRAN/EPS.

Location Updating procedures from both CS and PS overwrite the same
last_lu_seen field of a subscriber. For upcoming D-GSM it will be important to
distinguish those, because only CS attaches qualify for MSISDN lookup.
Add column last_lu_seen_ps, and upon PS LU, do not overwrite last_lu_seen, so
that last_lu_seen now only reflects CS LU.
In the VTY, dump both LU dates distinctively.

Apply the same headers structure that we keep in most Osmocom source trees:
Keep noinst_HEADERS in include/osmocom/hlr and include them using
#include <osmocom/hlr/*.h>
The only header kept in src/ is db_bootstrap.h, because it is generated during
build time. If it was built in include/osmocom/hlr, we would need db.o to
depend on db_bootstrap.h in a different subdir, which automake can't do well.

Several parts of OsmoMSC (e.g. GSM 04.11, 09.11, etc.) are dealing
with GSUP message encoding and sending towards OsmoHLR. In order
to avoid code duplication, let's have a shared function here.
Change-Id: I0589ff27933e9bca2bcf93b8259004935778db8f
Add a new API which allows creating a GSUP client connection with
more identification information than just a unit name. Instead of
being selective about which idenfifiers callers may use, allow
callers to pass a full-blown struct ipaccess_unit. This allows
applications to use entirely custom identifiers on GSUP client
connections.
This change is a prerequisite for inter-MSC handover because MSCs
will need to use unique identifiers towards the HLR, which isn't
very easy to do with the old osmo_gsup_client_create() API. While
it's always been possible to pass a unique unit_name, this is not
as flexible as we would like.
The old API remains for backwards compatibility.
struct osmo_gsup_client grows in size but is allocated internally
by the library; old calling code won't notice the difference.
