A voice group/broadcast call has no SCCP connection that is related 1:1
to a calling or called subscriber. Instead there are multiple connections
between MSC and BSS. Some of them control the uplink for each BSS and
some of them assign the channels for each BTS.
SCCP connections are maintained by the VGCS call control. Message from the
RAN are directly forwarded to the VGCS call control.

The (optional) call reference is required to assign a calling subscriber
to a voice group/bcast channel. The BSC can then determine to which
existing VGCS/VBS channel the MS is assigned to.
This IE is part of the GSM standard TS 48.008 (see §3.2.1.1)

This also includes the use counters for transaction and CM service

- MSC_A_USE_CM_SERVICE_BCC

A transaction can be identified by the callref and the type. Because
transactions with different types may share the same callref value,
it is required to include the type in the trans_find_by_callref()
parameters.
E.g. a voice group call may have the same callref as a voice broadcast
call, but they are different calls. They also may not be confused with
other transaction types having eventually equal callref value, like
GSM 04.08 calls, SMS or supplementary services transactions.
By adding the transaction type to trans_find_by_callref(), we
essentially now use the (type, callref) tuple as unique ID for
transactions, instead of just callref.

The MGCP protocol features the 'C' (call-id) to identify which
connections belong to the same call. They may be used by MGW for
accounting or management procedures.
So far we sent the MNCC callref as call-id. Instead, add a separate
unique call_id number space. Assign a unique call_id to each
transaction.

In all the places where codec_filter_ functions get called, for CSD we
will need to filter the bearer services. Add a new
transaction_cc.c file for functions that either combine the
codec_filter_ function with logic for CSD and voice calls or just call
the existing codec_filter function and a new csd_filter function.
Start with moving codec_filter_set_ms_from_bc to this new file, it will
be extended with a case for CSD in a future patch.

In order to send the MSC's RTP endpoint IP address+port in the initial
SDP, move the MGCP CRCX up to an earlier point in the sequence of
establishing a voice call.
Update the voice call sequence chart to show the effects.
Though the semantic change is rather simple, the patch is rather huge --
things have to happen in a different order, and async waits have to
happen at different times.
The new codec filter helps to carry codec resolution information across
the newly arranged code paths.

Transmit and receive full SDP information via MNCC, to accurately pass
codecs choices between the call legs.
In msc_vlr_test_call.c test_call_mt(), show that when receiving MNCC,
the codec information in SDP overrules the Bearer Cap codec information
-- we expect to still receive inaccurate Bearer Cap from e.g.
osmo-sip-connector, because we have chosen to add SDP to MNCC instead of
trying to fix the codecs represented in Bearer Cap.
For internal MNCC, the MT call leg now knows which codec the MO has
chosen and assigned.
For external MNCC, osmo-sip-connector receives SDP about our codecs
choices and sends it in SIP messages, and we also receive the full SDP
information from the remote SIP leg.
Update the SDP in codec_filter every time it is received, to always have
the latest SDP information from the remote leg.
CC MNCC
| ---ALERTING--> | add local side SDP to MNCC msg
| <--ALERTING--- | store remote side SDP
| <--SETUP-RESP- | store remote side SDP
| --SETUP-CNF--> | add local side SDP to MNCC msg
| -RTP-CREATE--> | use codec_filter, add local side SDP to MNCC msg
| <-RTP-CONNECT- | store remote side SDP
There still is one problem: when initiating MNCC, we do not yet know the
RTP address and port to be used for the CN side, because the CN CRCX
happens later. So far we send 0.0.0.0:0 as RTP endpoint in the SDP,
until the CN CRCX is done. A subsequent patch moves CN CRCX to an
earlier time, adding proper RTP information right from the start.

Do not convert to enum mgcp_codecs, but directly pass the
gsm0808_speech_codec IE from the A interface to codecs handling.
For Iu:
- RAN side: use ran_infra.force_mgw_codecs_to_ran to keep the MGW
endpoint towards RAN on IUFP.
- CN side: introduce flag ran_msg.assignment_complete.codec_with_iuup,
so to decide whether to forward IUFP towards CN, we don't need to test
the RAN type, but use the flag from the ran_msg implementation.
In msc_vlr_tests, use the SDP codec string instead of enum
mgcp_codecs.
So far limit to intra-MSC related messaging, adjusting inter-MSC
handover follows in a separate patch.

Allow configuring MGW conns with multiple codecs. The new codecs filter
can have multiple results, and MGCP can configure multiple codecs. Get
rid of this bottleneck, that so far limits to a single codec to MGW.
On Assignment Complete, set codec_filter.assignment to the assigned
codec, and use that to set the resulting codec (possibly multiple codecs
in the future) to create the CN side MGW endpoint.

Indicate in the ran_infra data structure whether a RAN needs specific
codecs to be set up on the RAN facing MGW endpoint.
This allows setting forced RAN codecs as first-class citizen in the
ran_infra data structure, instead of special cases in the code (for IuUP
on IuCS).

For establishing Layer 3, pass a flag from msc_a to VLR that indicates

An earlier patch [1] renamed a previously existing flag
require_ciphering to is_ciphering_to_be_attempted, because the naming
was not accurate. This new flag now indicates what its name suggests.

Large RAN installations may benefit from distributing the RTP voice
stream load over multiple media gateways.
libosmo-mgcp-client supports MGW pooling since version 1.8.0 (more than
one year ago). OsmoBSC has already been making use of it since then (see
osmo-bsc.git 8d22e6870637ed6d392a8a77aeaebc51b23a8a50); lets use this
feature in osmo-msc too.
This commit is also part of a series of patches cleaning up
libosmo-mgcp-client and slowly getting rid of the old non-mgw-pooled VTY
configuration, in order to keep only 1 way to configure
libosmo-mgcp-client through VTY.
