Replace locally defined enum ran_type with libosmocore's new enum
osmo_rat_type, and value_string ran_type_names with osmo_rat_type_names.
The string representations change, which has cosmetic effects on the test suite
expectations.

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_*

Give the HLR a chance to send us updated subscriber data by indicating the CN
domain to be Circuit Switched, only during a LU Request GSUP message.
Adjust msc_vlr_tests to expect the added GSUP CN domain IE to indicate CS, i.e.
append '280102'.

When sending a BSSMAP Clear or Iu Release, do not immediately discard the conn,
but wait until a BSSMAP Clear Complete / Iu Release Complete has been received.
Hence we will no longer show in the log that an incoming Release/Clear Complete
belongs to an unknown subscriber, but will still be around to properly log the
release.

Refactor:
1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm.
2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM.
3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release.
4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM.
5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types.
Details:
1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm.
Historically, a gsm_subscriber_connection was allocated in libbsc land, and
only upon Complete Layer 3 did libmsc add the fsm instance. After splitting
openbsc.git into a separate osmo-msc, this is no longer necessary, hence:
Closely tie gsm_subscriber_connection allocation to the subscr_conn_fsm
instance: talloc the conn as a child of the FSM instance, and discard the conn
as soon as the FSM terminates.
2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM.
Decoding the Complete Layer 3 message is distinctly separate from waiting for
the VLR FSMs to conclude. Use the NEW state as "we don't know if this is a
valid message yet", and the AUTH_CIPH state as "evaluating, don't release".
A profound effect of this: should we for any odd reason fail to leave the FSM's
NEW state, the conn will be released right at the end of msc_compl_l3(),
without needing to trigger release in each code path.
3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release.
Before, the FSM itself would hold a use count on the conn, and hence we would
need to ask it whether it is ready to release the conn yet by dispatching
events, to achieve a use_count decrement.
Instead, unite the FSM instance and conn, and do not hold a use count by the
FSM. Hence, trigger an FSM "UNUSED" event only when the use_count reaches zero.
As long as use counts are done correctly, the FSM will terminate correctly.
These exceptions:
- The new AUTH_CIPH state explicitly ignores UNUSED events, since we expect the
use count to reach zero while evaluating Authentication and Ciphering. (I
experimented with holding a use count by AUTH_CIPH onenter() and releasing by
onleave(), but the use count and thus the conn are released before the next
state can initiate transactions that would increment the use count again.
Same thing for the VLR FSMs holding a use count, they should be done before
we advance to the next state. The easiest is to simply expect zero use count
during the AUTH_CIPH state.)
- A CM Service Request means that even though the MSC would be through with all
it wants to do, we shall still wait for a request to follow from the MS.
Hence the FSM holds a use count on itself while a CM Service is pending.
- While waiting for a Release/Clear Complete, the FSM holds a use count on
itself.
4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM.
If we decide to release for other reasons than a use count reaching zero, we
still need to be able to wait for the msc_dtap() use count on the conn to
release.
(An upcoming patch will further use the RELEASING state to properly wait for
Clear Complete / Release Complete messages.)
5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types.
Besides LU, also count CM Service Request and Paging Response
acceptance/rejections. Without these counters, only very few of the auth+ciph
outcomes actually show in the counters.

The current msc_subscr_con_allocate() was in fact only used by msc_vlr_tests,
while both a_iface_bssap.c and iucs.c did their own duplicate code of
allocating the gsm_subscriber_connection struct. Unify.
Drop the old msc_subscr_con_allocate(), instead add msc_subscr_conn_alloc().
The new function also takes via_ran and lac arguments directly.
The conn allocation will soon be closely tied to the subscr_conn_fsm instance
allocation, so place the new function definition alongside the other
subscr_conn_fsm API, and match its naming ("conn").

Match osmo-bsc's naming of the subscriber connection's FSM instance; 'conn->fi'
makes more sense anyway than 'conn->conn_fsm'.
BTW, an upcoming commit will do away with the legacy from libbsc/libmsc duality
and firmly glue the conn allocation to the fi.

All functions in the individual msc_vlr_test_*.c files should be static; hence
we would be warned if one of them were unused (forgotten to add to the tests
array).

Three recently merged commits take the msc_vlr_tests in a wrong direction.
The IMSI is usually encoded in the hex streams. The rationale behind hex
streams is that it is a) easily copied from a wireshark trace and b) exactly
the bytes as sent by an actual phone. It is hard to parameterize the IMSI
because we would have to employ our encoding functions, which I intentionally
want to keep out of the loop here.
The test number should not appear in the normal test output, so that adding a
test or changing their order does not affect expected output for following
tests. The nr is simply for manual invocation, only seen when invoked with -v.

For each test print:
* the test number
* IMSI
Unfortunately tests are organized in such a way that we don't know the
number of particular test in advance. Nevertheless, it make sense to
always print it regardless of -v option presense.

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).

This was originally a long series of commits converging to the final result
seen in this patch. It does not make much sense to review the smaller steps'
trial and error, we need to review this entire change as a whole.
Implement AoIP in osmo-msc and osmo-bsc.
Change over to the new libosmo-sigtran API with support for proper
SCCP/M3UA/SCTP stacking, as mandated by 3GPP specifications for the IuCS and
IuPS interfaces.
From here on, a separate osmo-stp process is required for SCCP routing between
OsmoBSC / OsmoHNBGW <-> OsmoMSC / OsmoSGSN
jenkins.sh: build from libosmo-sccp and osmo-iuh master branches now for new
M3UA SIGTRAN.
