As a rudiment of OsmoNiTB, OsmoMSC is still involved in SMS
processing, storage (in SQLite DB), and routing (via SMPP).
In real networks this is done by the external entity called
SMSC (SMS Centre), while the MSC is doing re-encapsulation
of GSM 04.11 SM-TL (Transport Layer) payload (i.e. TPDU)
between SM-RL (Relay Layer) and MAP.
Since OsmoMSC itself is not a 'Network in The Box' anymore, it
makes sense to replicate the 'traditional' behaviour of MSC.
The problem is that this behaviour cannot co-exist with the
current implementation, so the key idea is to rip out the
local SMS storage and routing from OsmoMSC, and (re)implement
it in a separate process (OsmoSMSC?).
As a temporary solution, this change introduces a 'kill-switch'
VTY option that enables routing of SMS messages over GSUP
towards ESME (through VLR and HLR), but breaks the local
storage and routing. This is why it's disabled by default.
As soon as we move the SMS processing and storage away from
OsmoMSC, this behaviour would be enabled by default, and
the VTY option would be hidden and deprecated. At the moment,
this option basically does nothing, and will take an effect
in the follow-up changes.

We can check if we're parsing the config file by checking
whether vty->type equals VTY_FILE. This avoids the use of
an extra local variable to track the parsing state.

Always use LAC which is part of Cell Global ID otherwise we might end up
in a situation where separately stored LAC differs.
Both are described in 3GPP TS 23.008 $2.4 as temporary subscriber data
to be stored in VLR. Both are defined in 3GPP TS 23.003. The LAC is part
of LAI which is part of CGI so there should be no case when those values
differ for a given subscriber.

When a VLR subscriber is displayed on the VTY we get a lot of meta
information, but there are also some flags to handle the internal
subscriber status e.g. conf_by_radio_contact_ind. Lets display those
flags as well as this information can be very helpful when debugging
problems in the VLR

Do not show the VTY command's own use count during 'show subscriber <ID>'.
When using 'show subscriber msisdn 2023', I was surprised to see a use count of
2 and suspected a use count leak. With 'show subscriber cache' however, the use
count is 1.
So I realized it is the vty command's own use count that makes it two, besides
the lu_complete=true one.

Avoid leaking details on accessing data structure for LAC value into

There is no state transition from INIT to WAIT_IMEI, only to WAIT_SUB_PRES.
If there were code to skip WAIT_SUB_PRES, the allowed state transitions would
have to be the same as for WAIT_SUB_PRES, i.e. also WAIT_IMEI_TMSI and
WAIT_TMSI_CNF. For now just opt for the status quo.

sub_pres_vlr_fsm_start() only ever has an effect if ms_not_reachable_flag ==
true. But there simply is no code that sets this flag. So
sub_pres_vlr_fsm_start() is currently dead code.
Also, examining the FSM, if it should ever be set to true, this would halt the
LU/CM Service/Paging response, since the FSM would merely change its state
without dispatching asynchronous messages. No chance of finishing.
Short of dropping the code entirely, first just mark it. The point being that
this models some FSM definition from 3GPP specs, and we have a couple other
"if (0)" branches in the VLR...

Two reasons:
- the caller of msc_mgcp_ass_complete() from Iu, iucs_rx_rab_assign(), failed
to be adjusted, breaking IuCS, as an --enable-iu --enable-werror build shows.
Unfortunately our gerrit verification doesn't --enable-werror for osmo-msc.
- the condition of requiring ST_MDCX_RAN is faulty, breaking GSM CS.

sub_pres_vlr_fsm_start() starts the FSM, invokes the START event, and then this
FSM invariably always directly terminates when vsub->ms_not_reachable_flag ==
false.
So if it is false, there is not much use in instantiating a whole FSM instance
that just terminates again, we might as well directly issue the
parent-term-event and save some logging space.
The same condition is already in place in the vlr_proc_acc_fsm.c in
_proc_arq_vlr_node2_post_vlr() for CM Service Request and Paging Response. Now
also skip this for LU.

BSSMAP Assignment Complete: sort MGCP handling upon Assignment Complete to the
proper locations. a_iface_bssap.c is not the right place to invoke the MGCP
related procedures.
- in a_iface_bssap.c only decode the IEs.
- call ran_conn_assign_compl() and pass decoded values.
- drop msc_assign_compl(), it was dead code; instead:
- add ran_conn_assign_compl()
- pass on all MGCP related info to msc_mgcp_ass_complete()
- move all MGCP ctx related handling from a_iface_bssap.c to msc_mgcp.c.
I'm dropping some comments to save some time, because if I adjust them IMHO
they would still anyway restate the obvious.
ran_conn_assign_compl() is now quite a thin shim, but it makes sense to have
it:
- This is the place that should tear down the ran_conn in case assignment
failed, left for a future patch.
- In the light of upcoming inter-MSC handover, ran_conn_assign_compl() will be
the place where the Assignment Complete message might be relayed to a remote
MSC.

So far the only way to use external MNCC is to pass the -M cmdline arg:
osmo-msc -M /path/to/socket
However, the osmo-msc.service file for systemd is installed by 'make install',
and hence it is quite impractical to depend on such a config item to be
required in the service file:
- It defies any scheme an operator may have in place to compose the
osmo-msc.cfg file -- this option doesn't go in the .cfg file but needs
separate action to add to the installed service file.
- After a make install or package upgrades / re-installations, this option will
be plain overwritten silently, or lead to the need for resolving file
conflicts.
The initial spark for this came from configuring the 35c3 GSM from cfg
templates.

I want to add 'mncc internal' and 'mncc external' commands, and IMHO makes most
sense to have a common 'mncc' keyword to start MNCC config commands with. To
put it in terms of VTY online help:
OsmoMSC(config-msc)# mncc ?
internal Use internal MNCC handler
external Use internal MNCC handler
guard-timeout Set global guard timeout
So far only the 'guard-timeout' exists, I want to add 'internal' and 'external'
in a subsequent commit.
Keep the old command 'mncc-guard-timeout' as deprecated alias. That means it
still works from old config files, but online documentation will omit it.
On 'write', write back the new format instead.

Separate 'make python-test' into separate make targets, to sensibly add VTY
transcript tests in an upcoming commit.
Feature: even though ./configure was called without --enable-external-tests,
each of the {ctrl,vty}x{python,transcript} tests can be invoked individually by
e.g. 'make vty-python-test'.
Both 'vty-transcript-test' and 'ctrl-transcript-test' are still empty, a
subsequent patch adds a vty-transcript-test.
All of this in preparation of tweaking the 'mncc' vty configuration, to be able
to track it in a vty transcript test.
