Take the time to also do small refactorings to clarify and simplify the
function, by using rts_next_fn() already available in pcu_utils.h and
getting rid of poll_tbf from tbf_candidates, which clearly follows
another objective.
Using PDCH UL Controller has the advantage that we don't need to check
poll_scheduled() on each TBF, but only do the query once.

TbfTest is updated to submit empty blocks to have somehow meaningful
output (at least as meaningful test results as before, not much). That's
because we must update bts->curr_fn to have polls expire.

Right now we handle different types of UL allocations in different
classes like PollAllocator and SBAllocator, and they usually don't take
into account the other one in most cases. Furthermore, those objects are
usually per-BTS object, instead of per PDCH object.
This is a first step towards having a unified per-PDCH controller which
takes care of controlling what is scheduled and hence expected on the
uplink. Each PDCH has a UL Controller which keeps track of all reserved
uplink frame, be it SB, RRBP poll or USF assigned, all under the same
API.
As a first step, only the SBA part is fully implemented and used (being
it the easiest part to replace); TBF poll+usf will come in follow-up
patches later on. As a result, the SBAllocator per-BTS class dissappears
but some of its code is refactored/reused to provide more features to the
gprs_rlcmac_sba object, which is also further integrated into the new UL
Controller.

Since recently (see Depends below), BTS side submits DATA.ind with len=0
to announce nothing was received on that UL block FN. This will allow
osmo-pcu track time more accurately, and use this information to quickly
find out if a UL block was expected as requested by RRBP or USF poll and
increment counters such as N3101 (finally being able to properly
implement timers such as T3619).

If Idle TBF timer (X2031) is set to 0, it means the TBF release is
immediately started once all queued data has been scheduled. In that
case, we must set FBI=1 (by setting cv=0) and move to FINISH state.
This used to work over the usual path where X2031 != 0, because release
start will alays happen at a later sched poll time where a dummy LLC
frame is sent and FBI set accordingly.

Old commit getting rid of LLC UI dummy and updating create_new_bsn()
function introduced a bug by not moving update of value m_last_dl_drained_fn
prior to a new break introduced.
As a result, the value is not updated in the case LLC queue becomes
drained but last few bytes are drained at exactly that moment.
Furthermore, then the IDLE tbf timer (X2031, keep_open())) returns always
true since according to it the drain never happened.
The impact of the bug is basically delaying a bit more than expected the
time the TBF stays in IDLE state with the TBF release process yet
to be started.

This is specially useful to detect for instance if a cell is handling
too many users, ending up in TFI or USF exhaustions. This information
can be later in the future used to tune TBF allocation algorithm behavior
(either manually/statially through config file, or
automatically/dynamically in code based on some thresholds).

Since a while ago, the data architecture was changed so that TBF is
guaranteed to always have a MS object associated. Hence, it makes no
sense to pass the MS object as a separate param as we can take it from
tbf object and makes code less confusing.

Before this patch, allocate_usf() was implemented to only allocate 1 USF
per TBF, regardless of the available ul_slot mask.
As a result, only 1 slot at max was allocated to any TBF. That's a pity
because usual multislot classes like 12 support up to 2 UL slots per TBF
(in common TS with DL).
This patch reworks allocate_usf() to allocate as many UL multislots as
possible (given mslot class, current USF availability, TFI availability,
related DL TBF slots for the same MS, etc.).
As a result, it can be seen that AllocTest results change substantially
and maximum concurrent TBF allocation drops under some conditions.
That happens due to more USFs being reserved (because each TBF has now
more UL slots reserved). Hence now USF exhaustion becomes the usual
limitation factor as per the number of concurrent TBFs than can be
handled per TRX (as opposed to TFIs previously).
Some of the biggest limitations in test appear though because really
high end multislot classes are used, which can consume high volumes of
UL slots (USFs), and which are probably not the most extended devices in
the field.
Moreover, in general the curren timeslot allocator for a given
multislot class will in general try to optimize the DL side gathering
most of the possible timeslots there. That means, for instance on ms
class 12 (4 Tx, 4Rx, 5 Sum), 4 DL slots and 1 UL slot will still be
selected. But in the case where only 3 PDCHs are available, then with
this new multi-slot UL support a TBF will reserve 3 DL slots and 2 UL
slots, while before this patch it would only taken 1 UL slot instead of
2.
This USF exhaustion situation can be improved in the future by
parametrizing (VTY command?) the maximum amount of UL slots that a TBF
can reserve, making for instance a default value of 2, meaning usual
classes can gather up 2 UL timelosts at a time while forbidding high-end
hungry classes to gather up to 8 UL timeslots.
Another approach would be to dynamically limit the amount of allowed
reservable UL timeslots based on current USF reservation load.

In any case, every test relying on logging output validation should
