Philipp Maier 483cea889c sgs_iface: detect and react to VLR/HLR failure
The HLR (which is connected via the GSUP interface) may fail and
disconnect. On the next location update the VLR will try to talk to the
HLR and fail. This failure event is not communicated towards the SGs
related code and the SGs-association will remain in the LA-PRESENT state
forever. Lets add code to report the problem to the SGs code and trigger
a RESET an the SGs interface.

- Add a flag to report an HLR problem back to the SGs code
- Fix the FSM that controls the reset
- Make sure the all SGs associations are reset when the failure occurs.

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.
