dequeue_paging() dequeues the first paging (at the start of the list).
If a paging request is dequeued but later it cannot be added to the
message being sent, it has to be re-added to the list for later
processing on next message. However, existing code was enqueueing it at
the end, which meant that paging request was delayed for no reason.

There are some restrictions to have both GPRS-only and EGPRS MS attached
to the same MS:
* Any MS needs to be able to successfully decode a DL block at least
every 18 DL blocks (360 ms). That means a Dl block with CS1-4 must be
sent at least once during that time.
* Any MS needs to be able to decode USF targeting it. GPRS-only MS can
successfully decode USF from DL blocks using GMSK: CS1-4 and MCS1-4.
In this patch, if USF of a GPRS-only MS is selected, then all DL EGPRS
TBFs are discarded from data block selection. However, this logic can be
further improved later by still allowing selection of DL EGPRS TBFs and
then forcing construction of a DL EGPRS data block using MCS1-4.

Recent commit removed the counter enum but forgot to remove the

The assumption that TLLI 0x00000000 is invalid and can be used
as the initializer is wrong. Similar to TMSI, 0x00000000 is a
perfectly valid value, while 0xffffffff is reserved - use it.
According to 3GPP TS 23.003, section 2.4, a TMSI/P-TMSI with
all 32 bits equal to 1 is special and shall not be allocated by
the network. The reason is that it must be stored on the SIM,
where 'ff'O represents the erased state. According to section
2.6 of the same document, a local/foreign TLLI is derived from
P-TMSI, so the same rule applies to TLLI.
I manually checked and corrected all occurances of 'tlli' in the
code. The test expectations have been adjusted with this command:
$ find tests/ -name "*.err" | xargs sed -i "s/0x00000000/0xffffffff/g"
so there should be no behavior change. The only exception is
the 'TypesTest', where TLLI 0xffffffff is being encoded and
expected in the hexdump, so I regenerated the test output.

This patch avoids enabling EGPRS on MS objects if BTS/VTY assigned no
MCS supported/available for use.
As a result, if NO MCS is enabled/supported EGPRS won't be used despite
the MS announcing through EGPRS MS class that it supports EGPRS.

Also add a few more asserts to make sure a valid CS/MCS is passed in

Properly clip initial_(m)cs values to be lower-equal than maximum

Regarding initial_mcs, use values provided by BTS, which were not used

BTS simply notifies the PCU about the supported MCS, and PCU is
responsible for providing correct data formatting supported for the BTS
and the target MS.

For instance if PCU received DL data to be sent to an MS from an SGSN,
and the MS is not currently cached in the PCU (because there's no TBF
active for it), it will page it and transmit the DL data to it.
The SGSN is capable of sending (EGPRS) MS Class information in that same
DL data message, so it's the one responsible for providing that
information if not available at the PCU.
In the PCU if we don't have information about that MS and SGSN didn't
provide us information about it, we cannot assume the MS is going to be
EGPRS capable and even less expecting a specific EGPRS MS class.
So let's drop this code.

EGPRS "enabled" or "not enabled" is a bit of confusing idea, since there
are different levels of EGPRS support. For instance we may have been
instructed by config to not transmit using MCS5-9 (8PSK), or not use
MCS1-9 at all (GMSK+8PSK). However, we cannot control what is sent to us
or what we receive on lower layers, so if the BTS PHY/receiver was able
to decode+receive, let's try to process it anyway...

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.

Some tests were wrong (TypesTest) and required modification, since they
were setting a EGPRS MS but then expecting a GPRS assignment.

Take into account the MCS values supported by the BTS. In osmo-bts,
in general all MCS are enabled if "mode egprs" is selected in BSC,
and none otherwise.

If SGSN provides us with MS class information upon DL data, let's use it
and set it in an already existing MS object if not yet known.
Also remove all unneeded code passing ms_class to append_data() which
would simply try to (again) set the ms_class.

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.

Avoid passing tons of params to internal helper function
tbf_nel_dl_assignment() in order to either fetch again the ms object or
create a new one. Let's instead create the ms function earlier if needed
and fill it with all the discovered information prior to calling the
helper function. This provides cleaner code and also better log output.
This way we also avoid trying to fill the MS twice and unneeded
getter+setter for TA.
tbf::imsi(): There' always an ms, so simply forward call to
ms()->imsi().
We can also get rid of assign_imsi, since the modified code is the only
place where it's used and there's already some code in place there to
update the MS. We instead merge it with set_imsi and keep the
duplication code to catch possible bugs from callers.
Move merge_and_clear_ms from tbf class to GprsMS, where it really
belongs.

The BTS field will be used in code paths after next patch changes,
otherwise the test fails accessing the NULL pointer.

This is another step forward towards a more clear data model where a TBF
always has a MS object (which may be lacking some information, and at a
later point when more information is found, it may actually be a
duplicated MS object and hence one duplicate removed and the TBF moved
to the object being kept).
This helps for instance in removing duplicated information stored in
the TBF which is really per MS, like ms_class, ta, etc. Since there's
always a MS object there's no need to keep a duplicate in both classes
in case there's no MS object.
It can already be seen looking at unit test logging that this kind of
data model already provides better information.
Some unit test parts were needed to adapt to the new model too.

There's no real need for having different copies of this method in each
children. Furthermore, having the method implemented in the base class
made me shoot my foot while trying to move this to the tbf constructor
(see next commit), so let's simplify this and avoid other people
following into the same issue.
enable_egprs() in tbf.h is moved to be public since it needed (as it was
for the duplicated children mehtods with same name), but anyway it will
be moved to private in next commit.

Return an interface to the window base class so that the tbf base class
can access the common window methods, such as set_ws(). It will be used
in next commit to get rid of duplicated function enable_egprs in both
dl_tbf and ul_tbf subclasses.
The user of the function can then decide to access more specific
functionaltiites of the window class by static casting it to the
specific direction (which is known by the caller since it operates on a
ul_tbf or a dl_tbf).

In those cases since a string pointer was passed, it always printed
"single" instead of whatever really was being used, since the string

In general we want to see explicitly the kind of requested allocation at
