Since the split of OsmoNiTB, OsmoMSC does not deal with the radio
access network directly. Therefore the only purpose of T3212 is to
control subscriber expiration in the local VLR. The timeout value
indicated in System Information Type 3 needs to be configured
separately in the BSC/RNC.
This means that we don't need to store it in deci-hours anymore.
Let's move T3212 to the group of VLR specific timers, so it can
be configured and introspected using the generic 'timer' command,
and deprecate the old '[no] periodic location update' command.
It should be also noted that in the old code subscriber expiration
timeout was actually set to twice the T3212 value plus one minute.
After this change, we apply the configured value 'as-is', but
keep the old behaviour for 'periodic location update' command.

These timers so far were implemented as a list of unsigned integers,
which has never been initialized to any reasonable defaults. Since
they are used as state timeouts in several FSMs, we might end up
staying in some state forever.
Let's migrate to generic osmo_tdef API and use default values from
table 11.2 of 3GPP TS 24.008. This way the user can introspect and
change their values from the VTY / configuration file.

This change introduces several new VTY commands letting the user
a possibility to introspect and reconfigure some of the existing
timers implemented using libosmocore's osmo_tdef API.
At the moment this covers the following timers:
- MGW specific timers:
- X1 - MGCP response timeout,
- X2 - RTP stream establishing timeout,
- RAN specific timers (same names for GERAN and UTRAN):
- X1 - Authentication and Ciphering timeout,
- X2 - RAN connection release sanity timeout,
- X3 - Handover procedure timeout.
The following commands are introduced:
- 'enable' node:
- show timer [(mgw|mncc|sccp|geran|utran|sgs)] [TNNNN]
- 'config-msc' node:
- timer [(mgw|mncc|sccp|geran|utran|sgs)] [TNNNN] [(<0-2147483647>|default)]
Both MNCC and SCCP related timer definitions are empty at the
moment. Achieved by using osmo_tdef_group API of libosmovty.

This is the first update since the libosmocore changes to the 'show
online-help' generated output. Hence the produced document now benefits from
the structural improvements:
- not repeating common commands for every node;
- using section names that match the VTY prompt.
Update msc_vty_additions.xml to match the new node ID scheme.

Add OsmoMSC and OsmoHLR to bibliography (even though the OsmoHLR manual does
not yet exist, a reference to it has been added in OsmoMSC's manual).
