With the dawn of inter-BSC,MSC handover, adopting the MSC-A,-I,-T roles from
3GPP TS 49.008, the RAN connection shall soon be a neatly separated corner of
osmo-msc, so gravitate ran_conn decarations to files of matching name.
Also, the current chaos of API defined in files with mismatching/meaningless
names drives me crazy.

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_*

in the current implementation we still use osmo-bsc_mgcp, which
has many problems and is also obsoleted by osmo-mgw.
integrate osmo-mgw and re-implement the current switching using
an osmo fsm.
