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.

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.

This was a stupid decision. We will have to assign the
network at some other place. The problem will be a problem
when we have two gsm_networks in one process and the same
subscriber is traveling in both networks.
* gsm_util now uses caller-allocated data (rather than callee-allocated)
* correctly parse destination address
* parse (but not transcode) non-default encodings of SMS
* reject SMS to unknown destination number
* resolve target subscriber id and store incoming SMS (without header) in 'sms' table
What we're now missing is the sending part, i.e. a regular task iterating over
all pending SMS and trying to deliver them. Also, check for pending SMS once
we get a LOCATION UPDATE.
Remove the callbacks from gsm_network for now. A set of different
callbacks will be back. E.g. when the paging is completed, when the
Q.931 like call handling is there...
Remove var's or move them into #if 0, remove unused stuff that looks
like we do not need it anytime soon or #if 0 them, move stuff around.
gsm_subscriber is now refcounted, the db backend is leaking
a lot less, db_get_subscriber will allocate the subscr record
now, subscr_* will look up a subscriber in the list of currently
active subscribers and add an ref to this one.
The db test cases pass, more testing will be when next to the bts
