For TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH dynamic timeslots, the ts->pchan does not lead to a
meaningful value from the subslots_per_pchan[] array. Use the ts_subslots()
function instead, which checks for dyn pchan.

To avoid two phones picking mismatching TCH pchans, never pick TCH/F on dynamic
TS in osmo-nitb.
Add gsm_network flag dyn_ts_allow_tch_f, set to true by default in
gsm_network_init().
Set this flag to false in osmo-nitb's main().
See http://osmocom.org/issues/1778
Reasoning about ways to solve this:
* a compile time switch doesn't work because libbsc is first compiled and then
linked to both osmo-nitb and osmo-bsc.
* we could test net->bsc_api == msc_bsc_api(), but I have the so-called MSC
split waiting on branch sysmocom/cscn, which will result in msc_bsc_api() not
being linked in the osmo-bsc binary.
* have a function am_i_nitb() with different implementations in osmo-nitb and
osmo-bsc, but then we'd need to add implementations to all tests and other
binaries linking lchan_alloc().
* have a flag in struct bsc_api, but so far there are only function pointers
there.
Having a "global" flag in gsm_network allows to add a VTY command in case we
decide to keep this feature (#1781), has no linking implications and is nicely
explicit.
Tested that osmo-bsc still picks TCH/F on dyn TS indirectly, since I have no
standalone MSC available: when compiling osmo-nitb with the line that sets
dyn_ts_allow_tch_f = false commented out, TCH/F is picked as described in
OS#1778; and by printf-verifying that dyn_ts_allow_tch_f == true in osmo-bsc
main(), only osmo-nitb should have TCH/F disabled.

In struct gsm_lchan, add dyn.rqd_ref and dyn.rqd_ta. These save the Channel
Requested details across the PDCH deactivation dance.
abis_rsl.c: add static functions:
* dyn_ts_switchover*() for the various stages of switchover between pchans.
* pchan_for_lchant() to derive the desired pchan from the lchan type that was
set during lchan_alloc().
* rsl_chan_activate_lchan_as_pdch() to compose the simpler RSL CHAN ACT message
without introducing numerous special cases to the normal RSL CHAN ACT code.
In rsl_chan_activate_lchan(), detect and initiate required pchan switchovers if
requested pchan on a dyn TS differs.
In rsl_rx_rf_chan_rel_ack(), initiate or continue pchan switchovers after a
channel was released.
In rsl_rx_chan_act_ack(), notice that a switchover is complete.
In chan_alloc.c, add ts_subslots(): abis_rsl.c will need to know the number of
subslots per pchan, to verify that all lchans are free before dyn TS
switchover. The subslots_per_pchan[] array is static to lchan_alloc.c, and
since we need a non-trivial check for dyn TS anyway, add public ts_subslots()
to lchan_alloc.c, which also checks the current dyn pchan type.

Change _lc_find_bts() to _lc_dyn_find_bts() with added dyn_as_pchan arg to
pass exactly as which pchan we'd like to allocate on a dynamic TS. Add
_lc_find_bts() as wrapper so non-dynamic-TS callers remain unchanged.
Also add dyn_as_pchan arg to _lc_find_trx() (not renaming to dyn and wrapping
because there is only one caller).
Implement dynamic allocator logic in _lc_find_trx() and lchan_alloc().
A returned dynamic channel still needs to be switched to the proper mode, which
will follow in another commit.
Replace a fixme comment with a normal comment in subslots_per_pchan[], because
handling of dynamic TS is now defined.

It is particularly interesting to see whether a given lchan type is allocated
on a dynamic timeslot.

A new type of dynamic channel will be introduced soon, so prepare some comments
to name the dynamic TS kind more specifically.

Do the PDCH DE/ACT before we set the lchan->state to De-/Activation Requested.
It makes more sense semantically to change PDCH mode while the lchan is still
in NONE status. Thus slightly move some invocations:
PDCH ACT: Free the lchan before PDCH activation. Hence remove the lchan_free()
call from the rsl_rx_pdch_act_ack() code path; it used to do the PDCH
activation first and call lchan_free() in the callback.
PDCH DEACT: Set the (TCH) Activation Requested state only within
rsl_chan_activate_lchan(), after the PDCH deact is complete.
Channel allocator: don't pick channels that have a PDCH PENDING flag set, to
avoid using channels that are still in PDCH switchover (despite their state
being NONE).
The lchan_may_change_pdch() sanity checks are becoming a lot simpler.

Remove check for dyn PDCH in _lc_find_trx(), instead call _lc_find_trx() via
_lc_find_bts() several times, so that pure TCH/F is preferred to TCH/F_PDCH.
Add this logic next to the other channel match decisions in chan_alloc().
BTW, the removed check in _lc_find_trx() whether PDCH is active is not
necessary, as described in the added comment for lchan_alloc().
Original patch idea by jolly, but split in two and implemented differently by
nhofmeyr.

For chan_alloc_reverse, _lc_find_trx() should return the last free slot instead
of the first.

In lchan_alloc(), there are several decisions to fall back to another type of
channel, followed by setting the channel type to the fall back type. So far,
this was set regardless of allocation success or failure.
If such fall back type is not available, do not modify the local type variable
and thus report an S_CHALLOC_ALLOC_FAIL on the type originally requested
(report is at the end of lchan_alloc()).

The idea of ts_alloc()/ts_free() dates back to the very early days of
OpenBSC, where we didn't yet have a fixed PCHAN type assigned for every
lchan in a BTS. However, ever since, PCHAN types (channel combinations)
are configured by OML in a certain way, and we only allocate LCHANs
inside PCHANs of a matching type. There should be no PCHANs with
type GSM_PCHAN_NONE, unless those that you don't want to use for
administraive reasons or the like.
We can now configure the pyisical channel types for CBCH either in the
CCCH+SDCCH4 or in the SDCCH8 chanel combination.
Depending on whether a CBCH exists on the BTS, we also generate the SI4
with matching CBCH channel description to notify the phones of the
existance of the CBCH.
There is now a VTY command how a SMS-CB message can be sent to a given
BTS.
We do not yet have any logic at all for actual scheduling of multiple
CBCH RSL messages towards one or multiple BTSs yet, though.
Currently every subcriber object directly refers to the gsm_network
which contains a flag shared by every related subscriber
(keep_subscr). This adds a dependency on gsm_network even if only the
function defined in gsm_subscriber_base.c are used.
This patch adds a new struct gsm_subscriber_group which contains the
keep_subscr flag and a back reference to the network object. The
latter is not dereferenced in gsm_subscriber_base.c, so it can safely
be set to NULL when only that part of the gsm_subscriber API is being
used. It also changes that API to use gsm_subscriber_group instead of
gsm_network parameters.
Since there are some places where a pointer to the gsm_network is
needed but where only a gsm_subscriber is available, a 'net' back
pointer is added to the group struct, too. Nevertheless subscr group
and network could be separated completely, but this is not the topic
of this commit.

I'm not entirely sure if this is the best approach. However,
there are phones that send a RACH request for TCH/F on MO calls, even
though they actually do support TCH/H channels.
In case of handover (but probably on RACH) we would send a RLL for
SAPI=0 even if this SAPI was never established. After we have released
all SAPI>0 locally check that SAPI=0 is established and if not release
the rf channel directly.
T3109 is started when the SACCH is deactivated. It is stopped when
the phones sends the DISC/UA/UM on LAPDm for the main signalling
link. In case of timeout the abnormal release procedure will be
initiated. Make sure to not issue the SACCH Deactivate twice to
avoid confusing the equipment.
This is still not fully spec compliant. In case of a timeout the
abnormal release handling will be started which involves starting
T3111+2. The error handling should be split out of the rf channel
release method, e.g. lchan_release should be called and check if
the channel release was already initiated.
* Release all channels with SAPI > 0 with the "local end release"
(as of NOTE 1 of GSM 04.08).
* No need to wait for all SAPIs to be torn down and the normal
REL_IND/REL_CONF will call rsl_handle_release and the channel
should be released.
* Update the documentation
In case of a reset (loss of the BTS) close down all remaining
RTP Proxy sockets. In case of a lchan_free shout if the rtp
proxy is still open. I would prefer if the proxy code sits inside
the gsm subscriber connection.
In case of a failed channel we still want the channel to not be
re-allocated right away but keep it closed/unused for (T3109 + T311).
rsl_rx_rf_chan_rel_ack has a check to not set the channel to S_NONE in
case the channel is in the error state. Add the camp Harald added a timer
to set the channel back to the none state in case the RF Channel Release
is not acked.
This reverts commit fc462dd59e.
libosmogsm is a new library that is distributed in the libosmocore.
Now, openbsc depends on it. This patch gets openbsc with this
change.
This patch also rewrites all include path to the new
osmocom/[gsm|core]
