Harald Welte 2483f1b050 Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring)
Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>,
polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>.

This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch.
This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep
it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work.

SMS:

The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the
SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on
the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the
subscriber is currently attached.

If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this
will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will
reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the
next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash
list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the
SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already.

There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending
SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to
actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to
deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached.

This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time
when we have a proper separate SMSC entity.

Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc.

Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task
of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly.

Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram.

Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See
I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.

So far use the LAC from conn->bts, will be replaced by conn->lac in
Id3705236350d5f69e447046b0a764bbabc3d493c.

Neels Hofmeyr 625e05a6b2 fix make distcheck with python tests
- bscs.config needed by the vty tests was not picked up as a dist file, because
  its suffix is not 'cfg'. Rename to *.cfg. Apply this rename in
  vty_test_runner.py and osmo-bsc_nat.cfg.
- Remove restart counters after external tests, otherwise distcheck complains
  about uncleaned files.
- Add contrib/ipa.py to EXTRA_DIST, hence add a Makefile.am to contrib/.
  Otherwise the python tests cannot find that dependency.

Neels Hofmeyr 29b9206e80 move openbsc/* to repos root
This is the first step in creating this repository from the legacy openbsc.git.

Like all other Osmocom repositories, keep the autoconf and automake files in
the repository root. openbsc.git has been the sole exception, which ends now.
