Neels Hofmeyr 1fbf45c291 enrich context for vlr_subscr_name and ran_conn fi name
Include all available information in vlr_subscr_name(); instead of either IMSI
or MSISDN or TMSI, print all of them when present. Instead of a short log,
rather have more valuable context.

A context info would now look like:

  Process_Access_Request_VLR(GERAN-A-3_IMSI-901700000014706_MSISDN-2023_TMSI-0x08bde4ec_PAGING_RESP)

It does get quite long, but ensures easy correlation of any BSSAP / IuCS
messages with log output, especially if multiple subscribers are busy at the
same time.

When showing the RAN conn id, instead of

  GERAN_A-00000017

write

  GERAN-A-23

- We usually write the conn_id in decimal.
- Leading zeros are clutter.
- Don't mix - and _ separators.

These changes are combined to produce only one burst of humungous amounts of
msc_vlr_tests expected output. That is definitely a weak point of these tests:
blowing up the git history. OTOH they do show logging changes nicely.

About OsmoMSC
=============

OsmoMSC originated from the OpenBSC project, which started as a minimalistic
all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OpenBSC had reached
maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and 3G support in the form of
IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead to a separation of the all-in-one
approach to fully independent separate programs as in typical GSM networks.

OsmoMSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. Before, it was
the libmsc part of the old OsmoNITB. Since a true A interface and IuCS for 3G
support is available, OsmoMSC exists only as a separate standalone entity.

OsmoMSC exposes
- GSUP towards OsmoHLR (or a MAP proxy);
- A over IP towards a BSC (e.g. OsmoBSC);
- IuCS towards an RNC or HNB-GW (e.g. OsmoHNBGW) for 3G voice;
- MNCC (Mobile Network Call Control derived from GSM TS 04.07);
- SMPP 3.4 (Short Message Peer-to-Peer);
- The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.
