The initial idea of the SMS expiry threshold was to avoid storing
SMS messages with too long validity time (e.g. 63 weeks).
Unfortunately, neither this feature was properly documented, nor
the expiry threshold is configurable. Moreover, it has been
implemented in a wrong way, so instead of deleting the oldest
expired message, it would delete the youngest one or nothing:
SELECT ... FROM SMS ORDER BY created LIMIT 1;
while it should be sorted by 'valid_until' in ascending order:
SELECT .. FROM SMS ORDER BY valid_until LIMIT 1;
Thus, if the oldest message is expired, it gets deleted. If the
oldest message is not expired yet, there is nothing to delete.

Newer versions of libdbi print to stderr unconditionally when trying to
load drivers from /usr/lib/dbd. This makes test output to change
depending on host/distro set up (installed modules).
Let's get those messages out to make it easier for people having tests
pass.
We swap stderr/stdout instead of mixing to avoud future possible race
conditions if both get content writen into them.

Since OsmoMSC has built-in SMSC, it needs to store the messages
somewhere. Currently we use libdbi and SQLite3 back-end for that.
For a long time, the db_sms_* API remained uncovered by unit tests.
This change aims to fix that, and does cover the following calls:
- db_sms_store(),
- db_sms_get(),
- db_sms_get_next_unsent(),
- db_sms_mark_delivered(),
- db_sms_delete_sent_message_by_id(),
- db_sms_delete_by_msisdn(),
- db_sms_delete_oldest_expired_message().
Due to performance reasons, the test database is initialized in
RAM using the magic filename ':memory:'. This is a feature of
SQLite3 (and not libdbi), see:
https://www.sqlite.org/inmemorydb.html
Of course, this unit test helped to discover some problems:
1) Storing an SMS with empty TP-User-Data (TP-UDL=0) causes
buffer overruns in both db_sms_store() and db_sms_get().
2) TP-User-Data-Length is always being interpreted in octets,
regardless of DCS (Data Coding Scheme). This results in
storing garbage in the database if the default 7-bit
encoding is used. Fortunately, the 'user_data' buffer
in structure 'gsm_sms' is large emough, so we don't
experience buffer overruns.
3) db_sms_delete_oldest_expired_message() doesn't work
as expected. Instead of removing the *oldest* expired
message, it tries to remove the *newest* one.
The current test expectations do reflect these problems.
All of them will be fixed in the follow-up patches.
