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.

It seems there may be a race conditon where lower layers (direct PCU)
send UL blocks to us while the PDCH was already disabled (due to a call
entering on a dynamic TS).
As the PDCH is disabled, the ULC is NULL and shouldn't be used before
being enabled again.

In existing previous code, pdch->ulc would be freed in
gprs_rlcmac_pdch::free_resources() when it became disabled as per PCUIF
info_ind (for instance, when a DYN TS is switched PDCH->SDCCH8).
However, pdch->ulc was so far only allocated during pdch_init, which is
only called during bts_alloc() time.
Hence, after first info_ind disabling it, if it became again enabled
(again by info_ind re-enabling it after SDCCH8 was not longer in use),
the pdch->ulc would be used again but it would point to freed memory.
Let's rearrange how/when resources are freed to make it more logical.
With this patch, pdch internal resources are freed upon ->disable(), and
re-allocated upon ->enable().

Before this patch, when a PAGING-GS was received in PCU from SGSN, it
would always forward the paging request to all PDCHs in all TRXs of all
BTS (well, it did some heuristics to avoid sending it in some PDCHs
where onyl repeated TBFs would be listening).
The previous behavior, didn't make much sense in the case where the PCU
is asked to page an MS which it knows (ie in which PDCHs is listening
to). Hence, in that case it makes sense to simply send the paging
request on 1 PDCH where the MS is listening, instead of sending it in a
big set of different PDCHs.
This commit also splits the old get_paging_mi() helper which was
erroneously created to parseboth CS/PS-PAGING requesst, since they
actually use a different set of target subscriber information (for
instance, CS-PAGING provides optionally a TLLI, and one provides P-TMSI
while the other provides TMSI).
In this patch, the handling of CS paging request is split into 2 parts:
1- A new helper "struct paging_req_cs" is introduced, where incoming
CS-PAGING requests (from both SGSN over BSSGP and BTS/BSC over PCUIF)
are parsed and information stored. Then, from available information, it
tries to find a target MS if avaialable
2- bts_add_paging() is called from both BSSGP and PCUIF paths with the
helper struct and the target MS (NULL if not found). If MS exists,
paging is forwarding only on 1 PDCH that MS is attached to. If no MS
exists, then the old heursitics are used to forward the request to all
MS.

There's no need for setting the FN in RA.ind since we anyway already

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).

Before, we used tho have a BTs object split into 2 parts, a C
gprs_rlcmac_bts struct and a C++ BTS struct, and "bts_data" naming was
used to distinguish them in variable names. Nowadays the struct is
finally combined into one, so there's no point in using this "bts_data"
terminology, we use always "bts".

Previous work on BTS class started to get stuff out of the C++ struct
into a C struct (BTS -> struct gprs_glcmac_bts) so that some parts of
it were accessible from C code. Doing so, however, ended up being messy
too, since all code needs to be switching from one object to another,
which actually refer to the same logical component.
Let's instead rejoin the structures and make sure the struct is
accessible and usable from both C and C++ code by rewriting all methods
to be C compatible and converting 3 allocated suboject as pointers.
This way BTS can internally still use those C++ objects while providing
a clean APi to both C and C++ code.

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.

Under some platforms (RPI4, ARM) container older ASan, it will log false
positive log errors which will make unit test fail because then output
changes:
"""
pcu_l1_if.cpp:847:2: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0xb3f0b78c for type 'struct GprsMs', which requires 8 byte alignment
"""
The pointer is indeed misaligned, but it's not actually a bug, because
the pointer is never derreferenced. That happens during
llist_for_each_entry operation where it does cast the pointer but it
only checks if the list has actually reached the end.
To workaround the issue, simply defer casting it by using llist_for_each
instead, where the pointer is assigned only in the case it really points
to a GprsMS struct.

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.
