The EGPRS support will need more information to encode the IMMEDIATE
ASSIGMENT. Instead of adding more parameters pass a pointer to the
TBF unless an SBA shall be done (indicated by tbf == NULL). All
values that can be derived from the TBF and are not needed for an SBA
are removed from the parameter list.
Return a negative value on error.

Currently the old TFI is always used as ID when a
PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT is generated. This fails
if the old TBF has not been fully assigned yet. The
MS will then ignore the PDA.
This commit changes write_packet_downlink_assignment to accept
an additional parameter old_tfi_is_valid and uses the new TBF's
TLLI instead of the olf TFI if that parameter is set to false.

Currently the checks for and the actual polling is done in several
places by copy & paste of several lines of code. This hinders changes
of they polling is handled internally and also is likely source of
programming mistakes.
Separate this into a check_polling function, that checks whether
polling is possible and returns the FN and the RRBP to be used in
that case. Otherwise the cause is logged (LOGL_DEBUG) and a negative
error value is returned. There are no other side effect beside the
logging.
If the call is successful, the set_polling method can be used to
actually register the polling.
Extend the encoder functions' parameters lists by an rrbp parameter.

Currently the GPRS data block encoding is applied to every
coding scheme, even if an MCS is selected.
This commit renames the actual encoding function to
rlc_data_to_dl_append_gprs (not exported) and puts
selection code into Encoding::rlc_data_to_dl_append. This
requires an additional cs argument.

This function appends a single chunk to an RLC downlink data block.
The implementation is basically taken from the
gprs_rlcmac_dl_tbf::create_new_bsn method without the TBF related
functionality and any side effects.
Note that it still only supports GRPS.

Currently the (GPRS) RLC block encoding is done by setting the
header fields directly in gprs_rlcmac_dl_tbf::create_new_bsn.
This is much more complex with EGPRS, since the data fields are
not byte aligned, the header formats depend on the header type,
and the mapping of bits to bytes is LSB first.
This commit adds Encoding::rlc_write_dl_data_header which writes
the header according to the given gprs_rlc_data_header structure.
Encoding::rlc_copy_from_aligned_buffer is also added to copy
byte sequences into the message.
Note that the actual encoding of data units is not yet present.

Add an use_egprs parameter to write_packet_downlink_assignment
and add the EGPRS related fields if it is set to true. The
window size is fixed at 64 blocks, link quality measurement
reports have been disabled, and the other optional fields are not
present.

The current write_packet_uplink_ack implementation is based on the
CSN.1 encoder which makes it difficult to do the bitmap encoding for
EGPRS.
Add a new implementation based on bitvec functions to create the
PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK messages.

Currently the Encoding::write_packet_uplink_assignment method only
supports the GPRS variant of the message.
This commit adds the missing EGPRS variant to the encoder.

encode_rbb() and write_packet_uplink_assignment are only called with UL
TBFs so change the function signature to reflect that.
