In a future commit, gsm_subscriber will be replaced by vlr_subscr, and it will
not make sense to use vlr_subscr in libbsc. Thus we need a dedicated BSC
subscriber: struct bsc_subscr.
Add rf_policy arg to bsc_grace_paging_request() because the bsc_subscr will no
longer have a backpointer to gsm_network (used to be via subscr->group).
Create a separate logging filter for the new BSC subscriber. The implementation
of adjusting the filter context is added in libbsc to not introduce
bsc_subscr_get/_put() dependencies to libcommon.
During Paging Response, fetch a bsc_subscr from the mobile identity, like we do
for the gsm_subscriber. It looks like a duplication now, but will make sense
for the VLR as well as for future MSC split patches.
Naming: it was requested to not name the new struct bsc_sub, because 'sub' is
too ambiguous. At the same time it would be fine to have 'bsc_sub_' as function
prefix. Instead of struct bsc_subscriber and bsc_sub_ prefix, I decided to
match both up as struct bsc_subscr and bsc_subscr_ function prefix. It's fast
to type, relatively short, unambiguous, and the naming is consistent.
Add bsc_subscr unit test.

With the OsmoMSC program coming up, the name osmo_msc_data becomes even
more confusing than it already is. Clearly indicate it as libbsc's data of
a remote MSC by prefixing with bsc_.
Also, the Osmocom community has in the meantime agreed to have the osmo_
prefix only in libosmocore, to avoid naming conflicts in case things are
moved there. So while renaming anyway, also drop the osmo_ prefix.

Time zone used to be configurable per-BTS. In the upcoming MSC-split, no BTS
structures will be available on the MSC level. To simplify, drop the ability to
manage several time zones in a core network and place the time zone config on
the network VTY level, i.e. in gsm_network. If we are going to re-add fine
grained time zone settings, it should probably be tied to the LAC.
Adjust time zone VTY config code (to be moved to libcommon-cs in subsequent commit).
Adjust time zone Ctrl Interface code.

Both libmsc and libbsc will need distinct gsm0480_send_ussdNotify() and
gsm0480_send_releaseComplete() functions, since there will be distinct
subscriber connection structs.
Rename to msc_send_ussd_notify() and msc_send_ussd_release_complete(), and add
the same in libbsc with bsc_ prefix in new file gsm_04_80_utils.c.
In preparation of this patch, the message generation part of these functions
has been added to libosmocore as gsm0480_create_ussd_notify() and
gsm0480_create_ussd_release_complete(). Use these.
Adjust all libmsc and libbsc callers according to use the msc_* or bsc_*
implementation, respectively.

Replace hardcoded protocol discriminator and message type bitmasks with
function calls recently introduced in libosmocore.
Note that the release 98 bitmasks slightly differ from the release 99 bitmasks.
This patch uses the "default" gsm48_hdr_msg_type invocation, thus it depends on
libosmocore whether 98 or 99 bitmasks are used.
In some places, use of the bitmask was erratic. Fix these implicitly by
employing the bitmask functions:
* silent_call.c: silent_call_reroute(): add missing bitmask for MM.
* bsc_msg_filter.c: bsc_msg_filter_initial(): RR vs. MM messages.
* osmo_bsc_filter.c: bsc_find_msc() and bsc_scan_bts_msg(): RR vs. MM
messages.
* bsc_nat_rewrite.c: bsc_nat_rewrite_msg(): SMS vs. CC messages.
* bsc_ussd.c: no bitmask is applicable for the message types used here.
* gb_proxy.c: gbproxy_imsi_acquisition(): missing bit mask for pdisc.
In gprs_gb_parse.c: gprs_gb_parse_dtap(), add a log notice for unexpected
message types.
I guess none of our users knows what a mi_type=0x02 is, but most would
know what an IMSI or a TMSI is. So let's use the newly introduced
gsm48_mi_type_name() function to fix this.
Struct osmo_msc_data contains int core_ncc, which is actually the
MNC part of the PLMN, not to be confused with the Network Colour
Code.
The following patch renames this field for clarity and consistency
with the standards.
We need to use different LAC/CI towards the core network.
It is a bit problematic as LAC/CI is a per BTS attribute
so this feature only works if a BSC manages everything in
the same LAC.

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.

This adds in-place patching of the time information in the
MM INFORMATION message. The timezone in the 'Local time zone' and
the 'Universal time and local time zone' information elements
and the offset in the 'Network Daylight Saving Time' information
element are optionally set.
The new values are determined by the 'timezone' vty command in the
config_net_bts node. That command is extended by an optional
DST offset parameter.
Tests are provided for the vty part and for the plain
bsc_scan_msc_msg() function.

Ticket: OW#978
Inspect the message and see if it is a paging response,
then try to find the MSC that has paged this subscriber
and select this as the target MSC, also move the MSC to
the back of the list for 'load balancing'.
We want to have multiple MSCs but we also have some data
that is only present on a per BSC basis. Right now the
MSC data is not allocated with talloc, so we have some
change in the talloc contexts.
The new structure divides the code into a number of libraries
for the BSC core functionality, MSC core functionality, Abis transport,
TRAU and other bits.
This doesn't introduce any functional code change but simply moves
around files and alters Makefile.am accordingly.
Next step would be to disentangle a lot of the inter-library
dependencies and make the individual bits of code more independent.
