Add an SGs interface (3GPP TS 29.118) to osmo-msc in order to support
SMS tunneling and Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB)

gsm_subscriber.h contains some legacy cruft, part of which is that the VLR's
max MSISDN length should rather be defined in vlr.h. Same for GSM_NAME_LENGTH
-> VLR_NAME_LENGTH.
Adjust some sms_queue stuff that anyway includes vlr.h already.
Drop gsm_subscriber.h from vlr.h.
Add other (more concise) includes that thus become necessary, since the include
chain vlr.h->gsm_subscriber.h->gsm_data.h is no longer in place.

With the dawn of inter-BSC,MSC handover, adopting the MSC-A,-I,-T roles from
3GPP TS 49.008, the RAN connection shall soon be a neatly separated corner of
osmo-msc, so gravitate ran_conn decarations to files of matching name.
Also, the current chaos of API defined in files with mismatching/meaningless
names drives me crazy.

In preparation for inter-BSC and inter-MSC handover, we need to separate the
subscriber management logic from the actual RAN connections. What better time
to finally rename gsm_subscriber_connection.
* Name choice:
In 2G, this is a connection to the BSS, but even though 3GPP TS commonly talk
of "BSS-A" and "BSS-B" when explaining handover, it's not good to call it
"bss_conn": in 3G a BSS is called RNS, IIUC.
The overall term for 2G (GERAN) and 3G (UTRAN) is RAN: Radio Access Network.
* Rationale:
A subscriber in the MSC so far has only one RAN connection, but e.g. for
inter-BSC handover, a second one needs to be created to handover to. Most of
the items in the former gsm_subscriber_connection are actually related to the
RAN, with only a few MM and RTP related items. So, as a first step, just rename
it to ran_conn, to cosmetically prepare for moving the not strictly RAN related
items away later.
Also:
- Rename some functions from msc_subscr_conn_* to ran_conn_*
- Rename "Subscr_Conn" FSM instance name to "RAN_conn"
- Rename SUBSCR_CONN_* to RAN_CONN_*

Remove subscribers which fail to send periodic Location Updates from the
list of subscribers known to the VLR. This complements the IMSI detach
procedure: periodic LU expiry triggers an implicit IMSI detach.
Expired subscribers are purged from a periodic timer which iterates
over all subscribers once per minute.
Subscribers with an active connection do not expire. This is controlled
by the subscriber conn FSM which sets a subscriber's the LU expiry timeout
value to GSM_SUBSCRIBER_NO_EXPIRATION while a connection is active.
Add support for fake time with osmo_clock_gettime() to msc_vlr tests.
This functionality existed in OpenBSC but was lost during the nitb split.
This code took some inspiration from the OpenBSC implementation.

osmo-msc still had large amounts of dead code that came along from
openbsc.git. This commit removes a lot of it, mostly stuff relevant
only to the BSC side of things (or even GPRS).

It's not clear cut which code is responsible for canceling pending requests,
since the requests list is kept in vlr_subscr, but sending out Paging does
certainly not belong in the VLR. Place the requests cleanup in gsm_04_08.c.
Add to test_ms_timeout_paging() in msc_vlr_test_ms_timeout.c to verify that a
pending paging is canceled on IMSI Detach.
