Currently the BTS object (and gprs_rlcmac_bts struct) are used to hold
both PCU global fields and BTS specific fields, all mangled together.
The BTS is even accessed in lots of places by means of a singleton.
This patch introduces a new struct gprs_pcu object aimed at holding all
global state, and several fields are already moved from BTS to it. The
new object can be accessed as global variable "the_pcu", reusing and
including an already exisitng "the_pcu" global variable only used for
bssgp related purposes so far.
This is only a first step towards having a complete split global pcu and
BTS, some fields are still kept in BTS and will be moved over follow-up
smaller patches in the future (since this patch is already quite big).
So far, the code still only supports one BTS, which can be accessed
using the_pcu->bts. In the future that field will be replaced with a
list, and the BTS singletons will be removed.
The cur_fn output changes in TbfTest are actually a side effect fix,
since the singleton main_bts() now points internally to the_pcu->bts,
hence the same we allocate and assign in the test. Beforehand, "the_bts"
was allocated in the stack while main_bts() still returned an unrelated
singleton BTS object instance.

As we integrate osmo-pcu more and more with libosmocore features, it
becomes really hard to use them since libosmocore relies heavily on C
specific compilation features, which are not available in old C++
compilers (such as designated initializers for complex types in FSMs).
GprsMs is right now a quite simple object since initial design of
osmo-pcu made it optional and most of the logic was placed and stored
duplicated in TBF objects. However, that's changing as we introduce more
features, with the GprsMS class getting more weight. Hence, let's move
it now to be a C struct in order to be able to easily use libosmocore
features there, such as FSMs.
Some helper classes which GprsMs uses are also mostly move to C since
they are mostly structs with methods, so there's no point in having
duplicated APIs for C++ and C for such simple cases.
For some more complex classes, like (ul_,dl_)tbf, C API bindings are
added where needed so that GprsMs can use functionalitites from that
class. Most of those APIs can be kept afterwards and drop the C++ ones
since they provide no benefit in general.

In previous status, if USF for GPRS-only MS was selected, then EGPRS
TBFs were skipped and either a GPRS TBF was selected or a Dummy Block
was sent. That means the behavior was unfair towards EGPRS TBFs, because
sometimes they were skipped in favor of GPRS ones.
This patch imporves the situation in the above mentioned USF scenario, by
first, under specific conditions, allowing selection of an EGPRS TBF and
then forcing it to transmit in EGPRS-GMSK (MCS1-4) so that the
USF-targeted MS can still decode the USF, while at the same time
providing more fairness by allowing the EGPRS TBF to transmit data.
The specific conditions mentioned above are, mainly, related to the fact
that once a DL data block has been sent, and hence a BSN was assigned to
it, it cannot be retransmitted later using another MCS, since lower
MCS1-4 wouldn't be able to contain higher MCS RLC payload.
The set of conditions could be expanded in the future by also selecting
the EGPRS TBF if retransmition is required and the block to be
retransmitted was originally transmitted as MCS1-4.

Before this patch, it would always allocate all TBFs on the first TRX
until all TFIs were filled, then second, and so on. But it would
actually fail around 8th MS requesting an UL TBF because despite a TFI
was successfuly assigned, because all USFs were already exhausted for
that PDCH.

It seems that some gcc versions do not consider the priority of
"C" __attribute__((constructor)) definitions in the same order as
they do C++ static initializers, which are called in the order in which
they appear in the compile unit (source file).
The problem has been observed at least in a
environment based on T2 SDE with GCC 6.3.0 and binutils 2.28.
Let's work around this by making sure the __attribute__((constructor))
function always gets the highest priority value permitted by gcc (101).

In get_paging_mi(), before this, an encoded buffer of Mobile Identity bytes is
returned. Code paths following this repeatedly decode the Mobile Identity
bytes, e.g. for logging. Also, in get_paging_mi(), since the TMSI is read in
from a different encoding than a typical Mobile Identity IE, the TMSI was
manually encoded into a typical Mobile Identity IE. This is essentially a code
dup of osmo_mobile_identity_encode(). Stop this madness.
Instead, in get_paging_mi(), return a decoded struct osmo_mobile_identity. Code
paths after this use the struct osmo_mobile_identity directly without repeated
decoding.
At the point of finally needing an encoded Mobile Identity IE (in
Encoding::write_paging_request()), do a proper osmo_mobile_identity_encode().
Since this may return errors, add an rc check for the caller of
write_paging_request(), gprs_rlcmac_paging_request().
A side effect is stricter validation of the Mobile Identity passing through the
Paging code path. Before, invalid MI might have passed through unnoticed.

According to 3GPP TS 44.004, section 7.4a, two alternative RACH
block formats are specified: 8 bit (1 octet) and 11 bit. The
bit order is LSB (right to left), byte order is MSB.
In PCUIF RACH.ind structure (see gsm_pcu_if_rach_ind) we use
a field of type uint16_t to store RA values regardles of the
block format. Thus when packing it to bytes, we cannot just
cast uint16_t* to uint8_t*, we need to do some bit shifting.

This patch is a set of tightly related changes:
- group all RACH.ind parameters into struct 'rach_ind_params';
- group Channel Request parameters into struct 'chan_req_params';
- get rid of egprs_mslot_class_from_ra(), priority_from_ra(),
and is_single_block(), introduce unified parse_rach_ind();
- improve logging, get rid of redundant information.
This is needed for proper EGPRS Packet Channel Request handling.

It's really non-sense from architectural point of view to pass an
optional pointer to the MS holding the TBF and creating it otherwise.
TBFs shouldn't be creating MS they belong too.
This simple change requiring so many code line changes really exhibits
how badly entangled the object relationship is.
Another commit will follow doing the same for dl tbf.

MultislotClass is 5 bit long, so an uint8_t is enough.

In osmo-pcu datatructures, the variables holding multislot classes
simply contain an integer referring to the multislot class number,
instead of coding from 3GPP TS 44.060 Table 11.2.5.3 and Table
11.2.5a.3.
So coding Multislot class 3 is stored as 0x03 in osmo-pcu variables,
while in 3GPP TS 44.060 coding it's coded as 0x02 (N-1).
This allows us using value 0x00 to designate a "yet unknown (EGPRS) Multislot
class".
Hence, we need to add 1 to the decoded value to match our data
structures.

This will allow for configuration of some of the timers by the user,
and allow him to inspect current values being used.
It will be also useful for TTCN3 tests which may want to test some of
the timers without having to wait for lots of time.
Timers are splitted into 2 groups: BTS controlled ones and PCU controlled
ones. The BTS controlled ones are read-only by the user (hence no
"timer" VTY command is provided to change them).
TbfTest.err output changes due to timers being set up correctly as a
consequence of changes. Other application such as pcu_emu.cpp and
pcu_main.cpp had to previosuly set the initial values by hand (and did
so), but apparently TbfTest.c was missing that part, which is now fixed
for free.
