Use bitvec_set_*() directly without external write pointer tracking to
simplify the code. This is part of IA Rest Octets (3GPP TS 44.018
§10.5.2.16) which is the last part of the message so it should not

The difference in the expected test output is due to proper handling of
TAI which should not be transmitted for SBA according to the Note in
Table 10.5.2.16.1 in 3GPP TS 44.018.
The change was manually tested against real mobile phone using options

The TA value rather relates to an MS and not to a single TBF. So all

general only passed with an RACH request when the TLLI and thus the
MS is not yet known.
This commit adds a TA member to the GprsMs class and uses that one
when the TBF is associated to an MS object. Since the TBF is not
always associated with an MS object (after RACH or when it has been
replaced by another TBF), the TA value is still stored in each TBF
and that value is used as long as no MS object is being associated.

The current code does not properly distinguish between DL assignments to
reuse a tbf (after it was put in state WAIT_RELEASE) and DL assignments
for an active tbf to change the allocation of the PDCH timeslots.
This patch introduces a new variable was_releasing which remembers if
trigger_dl_ass() was called with a tbf in state WAIT_RELEASE. In that
case we have to set the CONTROL_ACK field in the download assignment.
This should allow us to send DL assignments to change PDCH TS allocation
of a tbf before we enter FLOW state.
The code has an internal optimization to only use window_size
space. This means that the caller needed to know that only half
of the size was used. Change the API to work on the BSN and do
the mapping internally. The compiler should have plenty of
opportunity to propagate the constant(s) but this has not been
verified.
The send and receive window is now managed by an external object.
There are some issues that can only be solved with C++11 but it
is progres and removes some of the spaghetti code. For GPRS the
sns and ws is hardcoded. Move that into the window code.
All logging code that used tbf->tfi is now using tbf_name to
print the the TBF. External code is now using tfi() which is
inlined and should result in the same code being generated as
before (+debug code that can be stripped).
Now all updates to the tlli/tlli_valid are in one place. If we
implement the policy to update the matching/linked TBF we can
now to do it in a single place. Add a todo item for that as I
am waiting for feedback from the mailinglist.
TLLIs got printed as TBF. Fix that but also rename things to
TFI. The TFI is not required to be unique per BTS but it is
the indicator we use right now.
The list belongs to the BTS. This makes cleaning this up more easy
and establishes a hierachy of resources that start from the BTS. The
debug_diagram code is now broken.
