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.

Please note that counter "sms:delivered" assumes "Delivered MT SMS",
but actually counts total number MT SMS delivery attempts. This
change describes its _actual_ (erroneous) behaviour.

Recently, the ability to run UTRAN without encryption was added, but the config
for it was tied to the A5 GERAN encryption configuration. This affected
osmo-msc's default behavior of Iu, breaking osmo-msc ttcn3 Iu tests: the ttcn3
test suite sets A5 to 0 (no encryption) but still expects Iu to enable air
encryption. Fix this "regression".
Add a separate vty config option for UEA encryption, even if it does not
provide full granularity to select individual UEA algorithms yet.
As a result, Iu default behavior remains to enable encryption regardless of the
A5 config. UTRAN encryption can be disabled by the new cfg option
"encryption uea 0" alone.
Even though the new vty command already allows passing various combinations of
the UEA algorithm numbers, only '0' and '1 2' are accepted as valid
combinations, to reflect current osmo-msc capabilities.
Revert most changes to the msc_vlr test suite in commit "do not force
encryption on UTRAN" (I04ecd7a3b1cc603b2e3feb630e8c7c93fc36ccd7): use new
net->iu_encryption instead of net->a5_encryption_mask.
Adjust/add to test_nodes.vty transcript tests.

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.

DB counters has been used to save osmo_counters & osmo_rate_ctr to a local
sqlite databases every 60 seconds.
This is quite slow e.g. 1000 subscriber might slow the msc down.

Moved to doc/manuals/, with full commit history, in preceding merge commit.
Now incorporate in the build system.
Build with:
$ autoreconf -fi
$ ./configure --enable-manuals
$ make
Shared files from osmo-gsm-manuals.git are found automatically if
- the repository is checked out in ../osmo-gsm-manuals; or
- if it osmo-gsm-manuals was installed with "make install"; or
- OSMO_GSM_MANUALS_DIR is set.

Those graphs + message sequence charts are not yet used by any

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.

The initial goal was to make sure we don't have overall FORCE rules causing
unnecessary rebuilds -- annoying while writing documentation. As I looked
through possible dependencies, I finally understood what's going on here.
Remove code dup and nicely sort which belongs where in build/Makefile.*.inc. In
each, describe in a top comment how to use it, and also unify how they are
used:
- Rename Makefile.inc to Makefile.docbook.inc and refactor
- Add Makefile.vty-reference.inc
- Add Makefile.common.inc
Make sure that we accurately pick up all dependencies.
Drop use of the macro called 'command', that silenced the actual command lines
invoked and replaced them with short strings: it obscures what is actually
going on and makes the Makefiles hard to read and understand.
Each manual's makefile is greatly reduced to few definitions and a Makefile
include, e.g. one for asciidoc, one for VTY reference.
Move common/bsc_vty_additions.xml to OsmoBSC/vty/libbsc_vty_additions.xml, link
from OsmoNITB. It applies only to OsmoBSC and OsmoNITB.
Add a script that combines a VTY reference file with *all* additions files
found in a manual's vty/ dir. Call this from Makefile.vty-reference.inc.
