While NACC was initially developed, it became clear there was need for
a way to interact PCU<->BSC in order resolve ARFCN+BSIC into CGI-PS
for later RIM usage.
Hence, this resolution was first (until today) implemented using an out
of bands RPC system using the CTRL interface, which required specific
config to be written and matches in osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc VTY (ip+port
of the CTRL interface to use).
However, this has several shortcomings:
* As explained above, specific configuration is required
* Since recently, we do support BSC redundancy in osmo-bts. Hence the BTS
may switch to a BSC other than first one. If that happened, that'd mean
the CTRL interface would still point to the initially configured one,
which may not be the same currently serving the PCU.
During recent development of ANR related features, a similar need for
PCU<->BSC was required, but this time it was decided to extend the IPA
multiplex of the Abis OML connection to pass PCUIF messages,
transparently forwarded to each side by the BTS.
This has the advantage that connection PCU<->BTS is handled by BTS and
both sides send messages transparently.
Let's switch by default to using this new interface, while still
maintaing the old way for a while (announcing them as deprecated) to
avoid breaking existing deployments until they are upgraded to new
versions of osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc.

A new nacc_fsm is introduced per MS object, with its partner priv
structure struct nacc_fsm_ctx, which exists and is available in the MS
object only during the duration of the NACC procedure.
The NACC context is created on an MS whenever a Pkt Cell Change
Notification is received on Uplink RLCMAC, which asks for neighbor
information of a given ARFCN+BSIC.
First, the target ARFCN+BSIC needs to be translated into a CGI-PS
(RAC+CI) address. That's done by asking the BSC through the Neighbour
Resolution Service available in osmo-bsc using the CTRL interface.
Once the CGI-PS of the target cell is known, PCU starts a RIM RAN-INFO
request against the SGSN (which will route the request as needed), and
wait for a response containing the SI bits from the target cell.
After the SI are received, the scheduler is instructed to eventually
poll a TBF for the MS originating the CCN, so that we can send the SI
encapsulated into multiple Packet Neighbor Cell Data messages on the
downlink.
One all the SI bits are sent, the scheduler is instructed to send a
Packet Cell Change Continue message.
Once the message above has been sent, the FSM autodestroys itself.
Caches are also introduced in this patch which allows for re-using
recently known translations ARFCN+BSIC -> CGI-PS and CGI-PS -> SI_INFO
respectively.

There's no BTS single global object anymore, get rid of those APIs. Move
users to use "pcu->bts", which will evolve to a linked list in the
future.

Both values (optionally) set (forced) by VTY and the values received
from PCUIF were stored in the same variable, meaning that for instance
the PCUIF values wouldn't really be used if someone applied eg "no cs"
during runtime.
This commit does something similar to what was already done for the
max_(m)cs fields. We store PCUIF values in one place and VTY ones in
another place, and then trigger a bts object internal process to find
out exactly which initial CS should it be using.

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.

This VTY command was added due to EGPRS being introduced later as an
experimental feature. It's no longer needed and causes more problems
than goodness (since people sometimes forgets to enable it).
Let's rather simply enable EGPRS support based on what BTS/BSC requests
over PCUIF.

For a long time the VTY command to show all active TBFs was broken.
The TBF filtering (by allocation origin) logic allows one to show
TBFs allocated on CCCH, PACCH, or on both of them. In the latter
case we have been checking whether a TBF was allocated on both
logical channels at the same time.
Let's fix this by passing a flag-mask instead of boolean arguments.
To be able to use GPRS_RLCMAC_FLAG_* definitions from "tbf.h", let's
exclude them from "#ifdef __cplusplus ... #endif" block.

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.

Since March 15th 2017, libosmocore API logging_vty_add_cmds() had its
parameter removed (c65c5b4ea075ef6cef11fff9442ae0b15c1d6af7). However,
definition in C file doesn't contain "(void)", which means number of
parameters is undefined and thus compiler doesn't complain. Let's remove
parameters from all callers before enforcing "(void)" on it.
API osmo_stats_vty_add_cmds never had a param list but has seem problem
(no "void"), so some users decided to pass a parameter to it.
