It may happen that either the MS or an EUSE would become
unresponsive during a call independent SS session, e.g.
due to a bug, or a dropped message. In such cases, the
corresponding transaction would remain unfreed forever.
This change introduces a guard timer, that prevents keeping
'stalled' NCSS sessions forever. As soon as it expires, both
sides (i.e. MS and EUSE) are getting notified, and the
transaction is being released.
By default, the timer expires after 30 seconds. As soon as
either the MS, or an EUSE initiates any activity,
the watchdog timer is rescheduled.
The timeout value can be configured from the VTY:
msc
...
! Use 0 to disable this timer
ncss guard-timeout 30
Please note that changing the timeout value at run-time
doesn't affect the existing NCSS sessions, excepting the
case when the timer is disabled at run-time.
This change makes TC_lu_and_ss_session_timeout pass.

According to GSM 04.07, the TI flag takes one bit and can be
either of the following:
'0'B - transaction is allocated by sender of a message,
'1'B - transaction is allocated by receiver of a message.
Since we store transaction ID in gsm_trans structure, we also store
TI flag (as a part of transaction ID), which in this context means:
'0'B - transaction is allocated by us (OsmoMSC),
'1'B - transaction is allocated by some MS.
In 100% cases, trans_assign_trans_id() is used to assign transaction IDs
to transactions allocated by us (i.e. OsmoMSC) for MT connections. And
there is no need to use it for MO transactions, because they basically
already do contain a valid transaction ID assigned by the MS.

The need to pass a pointer to RAN connection in order to find
a transaction limits possible use cases of trans_find_by_sm_rp_mr(),
e.g. when we need to find a transaction, but RAN connection is not
established yet.
Moreover, the pointer to RAN connection was only used to obtain
pointers to gsm_network and vlr_subscr, so we can just
pass them directly.

The flag is set to true when an assignment has been started, and it is only
relevant for a CC transaction. So fix naming and place in cc struct.

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_*

According to GSM TS 04.11, section 8.2.3, the RP Message Reference
is a mandatory field for all messages on the SM-RL (SM Relay Layer),
that is used to link an RP-ACK or RP-ERROR message to the associated
(preceding) RP-DATA or RP-SMMA message transfer attempt.
This change extends the transaction state structure with SM-RP-MR,
and introduces a new function for matching transactions within a
given connection by this reference.

The external MNCC handler may hang indefinitely in cases where the remote
end of the MNCC ceases to work properly. Add a global guard timer to
make sure the call reaches ACTIVE state.

This change introduces a possibility to establish network-initiated
SS/USSD transactions with a subscriber in either IDLE, or DEDICATED
state. In the first case, a new transaction is established using
Paging procedure. If a subscriber already has an active connection,
a separate new transaction is established.

The DLCI field of the DTAP header indicates the SAPI as well as the
data link (main DCCH or SACCH). We must make sure to use the correct
DLCI when sending DTAP to the BSC.
We achieve this by
* storing the DLCI in the msgb->cb while parsing the DTAP header
* storing the received DLCI (from msgb->cb) in the transaction for
mobile-originated transactions
* using the trans->dlci to sent msgb->cb when transmitting L3
* filling the DTAP DLCI value from msgb->cb when transmitting DTAP
For MSC-originated transactions, we choose a DLCI value corresponding
to the service (SAPI=0 for CC, SAPI=3 for SMS) and store that in
trans->dlci.
