Remove the conditions that always enable encryption on UTRAN.
We so far lack an explicit configuration for UTRAN encryption, and this patch
does not add any either. Instead, whether UTRAN encryption is enabled is simply
triggered on whether GERAN has A5 encryption enabled (A5/n with n > 0). Though
GERAN and UTRAN encryption are not technically related at all, this makes UTRAN
behave like GERAN for now, until we implement a proper separate configuration
for UTRAN encryption.
Adjust the msc_vlr_test_* configuration by setting the net->a5_encryption_mask
such that the expected output remains unchanged. A subsequent patch
(I54227f1f08c38c0bf69b9c48924669c4829b04b9) will add more tests, particularly
cases of UTRAN without encryption.
Adjust manual and vty doc.

We also need stubs for the upcoming db_sms tests.
Due to a known bug of automake [1], we cannot use 'subdir-objects',

3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles:
- MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers,
- MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN.
- MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover.
After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while
the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management.
MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared
for, not yet implemented.
Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC
roles.
Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications:
- all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc
instance,
- messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface
(GSUP),
- no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary.
This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I
apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no
sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge
amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if
each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we
are stuck with this code bomb.
The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring:
* separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn
struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has
been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber
reference.
The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub
lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however
use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens.
Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local
ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM
implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a
struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the
msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP.
* New SCCP implementation for RAN access
To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the
individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation
used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of
separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in
such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code,
hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling.
sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN
connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific
details.
* RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP)
The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring:
make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic.
ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics,
from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra
pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations:
- managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c,
- classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs,
- recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to
matching RAN peers.
* RAN RESET now also for RANAP
ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also
supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide
proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO)
* RAN de-/encoding abstraction
The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP
implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on
distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A
role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to
decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between
BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding.
ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for:
- receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and
MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP
or RANAP;
- sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages
that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the
BSC/RNC and MS/UE.
The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and
ran_msg_iu.c.
In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths
for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place.
Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified.
Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always
remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics
from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN.
* MGW and RTP stream management
So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between
GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP
streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented
implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct
FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated
from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose.
Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN
and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and
receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting
the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The
caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP
stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from
one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP
peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each
transition.
The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an
overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far
from trivial:
- an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for
configuring them by talking to the MGW;
- an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's
connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices;
- a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice
call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

* Use counts
Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this
purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a
globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use
in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count
API.
* FSM Timeouts
Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY
implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the
correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

Previously the '*#100#' USSD-request was abused in order to
conclude the current subscriber connection. This makes the unit
tests depend on each other, for example, if one break something
in the GSM 09.11 implementation, a half of tests would fail.
Moreover, the further changes in the GSM 09.11 implementation
will make the results less predictable (i.e. session ID, etc.).
So let's introduce a separate unit test with simple request-
response logic, while more complex tests will be in TTCN.

When sending a BSSMAP Clear or Iu Release, do not immediately discard the conn,
but wait until a BSSMAP Clear Complete / Iu Release Complete has been received.
Hence we will no longer show in the log that an incoming Release/Clear Complete
belongs to an unknown subscriber, but will still be around to properly log the
release.

Match osmo-bsc's naming of the subscriber connection's FSM instance; 'conn->fi'
makes more sense anyway than 'conn->conn_fsm'.
BTW, an upcoming commit will do away with the legacy from libbsc/libmsc duality
and firmly glue the conn allocation to the fi.

Three recently merged commits take the msc_vlr_tests in a wrong direction.
The IMSI is usually encoded in the hex streams. The rationale behind hex
streams is that it is a) easily copied from a wireshark trace and b) exactly
the bytes as sent by an actual phone. It is hard to parameterize the IMSI
because we would have to employ our encoding functions, which I intentionally
want to keep out of the loop here.
The test number should not appear in the normal test output, so that adding a
test or changing their order does not affect expected output for following
tests. The nr is simply for manual invocation, only seen when invoked with -v.

For each test print:
* the test number
* IMSI
Unfortunately tests are organized in such a way that we don't know the
number of particular test in advance. Nevertheless, it make sense to
always print it regardless of -v option presense.
