Neels Hofmeyr 1a60644eb2 reinvent connection_for_subscr() and move to libmsc
Implement connection_for_subscr() from a completely different angle: instead of
looking up lchans in bts structs, look up the subscriber in the global list of
gsm_subscriber_connection. static lchan_find() is thus obsoleted.

All callers of connection_for_subscr() live in libmsc, so move to libmsc.

The move and edit are done in a single commit since the old and new
implementation have nothing in common.

Future: osmo-cscn will use this, without bts being present.

Remove implementation of connection_for_subscr() from channel_test.c -- it is
possible that the abort() in there was intended for a regression test, but
actually it seems the implementation was merely added for linking reasons, and
the abort() added to guard against the NULL return value: no comment nor the
commit log indicate that the abort() is test critical; the addition was the
only change in channel_test.c for that commit; at the same time a
connection_for_subscr() call was added in libmsc.

About OpenBSC
=============

OpenBSC started as a minimalistic all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network,
with particular emphasis on the functionality typically provided by the BSC,
MSC, HLR, VLR and SMSC.  Today it is a growing suite of libraries and programs,
implementing protocol stacks and functional elements, including

 * OsmoBSC - a pure GSM BSC, speaking Abis/IP to the BTS and A/IP to the MSC
 * OsmoBSC-MGCP - MGCP helper to the OsmoBSC software
 * OsmoNITB - a BSC+MSC+VLR+HLR+SMSC "Network in the box".
 * OsmoCSCN - a voice CN with A/IP and IuCS/IP towards the BSC and/or HNB-GW
 * OsmoSGSN - a GPRS SGSN with Gb/IP and IuPS/IP towards the PCU and/or HNB-GW
 * Osmo-GbProxy - a Proxy to aggregate many Gb links as one Gb link to the SGSN
 * OsmoBSCNAT - a gateway aggregating many A links as one A link to the MSC
 * OsmoGTPHUB - a hub aggregating many GTP links (between SGSN and GGSN)
 * ipaccess-utils - some tools to discover + configure ip.access nanoBTS
 * bs11_config - a tool to configure the Siemens BS-11 microBTS

Various interfaces towards the BTS are supported, among which are:

 * Classic A-bis over E1 using a mISDN based E1 interface. In other
   words, you can connect existing GSM Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
   through E1 to OpenBSC.  So far, we have made it work with the Siemens BS-11,
   various Ericsson RBS2xxx BTS models and the Nokia MetroSite.

 * A-bis over IP as used by the ip.access nanoBTS product family as well as
   the Open Source OsmoBTS software (by the same authors as OpenBSC).  OsmoBTS
   in turn supports various transceiver hardware, including the sysmoBTS
   product family, as well as SDR transceivers supported by OsmoTRX, such as
   the UmTRX or USRP boardss.

 * IuCS and IuPS over IP towards an HNB-GW (see osmo-iuh) for UMTS (3G)
   voice and data links.
