ms_new_dl_tbf_assignment() is split into 2 functions, one to
allocate+assign on PACCH and another one for PCH.
This makes a lot clearer the aim of each caller of the function.
Once this is done, it becomes obvious tbf->establish_dl_tbf_on_pacch()
is basically doing the same as ms_new_dl_tbf_assigned_on_pacch() so drop
it.

Use the dl_tbf prefix which is usually used to easily distinguish from
"ul_tbf" specific APIs and "tbf" generic (parent class) APIs.

Split the function into 2 functions, one for assignment on PACCH and one
for assignment on PCH. This makes code calling this API far more clearer
on what is the exact aim when assigning the TBF.

In that state (ul_tbf=TBF_ST_FINISHED), we are unable to reach the MS to
assign a new DL TBF.
* MS Is not available in CCCH because it's attached the PDCH.
* MS won't be able to PKT_CTRL_ACK a PktDlAss on PACCH, because next
thing it will do is to PKT_CTRL_ACK the UL_ACK_NACK(FINACK=1) we
already polled it for, and immediatelly after that it will release the
UL TBF on its side and go back to packet idle mode.
Hence, we must wait for MS to send the PKT_CTRL_ACK to us in order to be
able to assign the DL TBF in PCH (CCCH).

It is quite common in all osmo-pcu code to have to convert between
parent class "tbf" and children "dl_tbf"/"ul_tbf", or other way around.
This commit adds new helper static inline functions to cast between
those while doing type checks.
This is used by new LOGPTBFDL and LOGPTBFUL macros to now expect the
proper subclass and cast securely inside the macro itself, hence sparing
all code calling those macros to have to cast explicitly the pointer to
the parent "tbf" class.

The LLC queue is already in the MS object. The LLC timer and most
of the logic to enqueue its data is independent from the TBF.

A CoDel state per prio queue is needed, otherwise the sojourn time state
is not properly reset when a high prio packet is dequeued.
If we have a global codel state shared for all prio queues of an MS, then
basically high prio (GMM) packets will "never" be dropped because they are
handled/dequeued way quicker, so it's sojourn time will be below the
threshold most probably, stopping the "dropping" state for the rest of
lower prio packets.
The handling of different codel states is moved from MS object to the
llc_queue, also offloading already loaded dl_tbf.cpp in the process.
This will also allow in the future setting different CoDel parameters
for different priority queues if needed.
Tests need to be adapted since now the CoDel and PDU lifetime are
incorporated into the llc_queue_dequeue(). Also because dequeue now also
accesses related MS fields.

Remove the paragraph about writing to the Free Software Foundation's

Go through all callers of as_dl_tbf() and as_ul_tbf(), and make sure
they can handle the possible NULL return value.
OS#5205 reports a NULL deref crash of osmo-pcu at pdch.cpp:525. The
immediate cause is that as_dl_tbf() may well return NULL, which this
caller does not handle and instead dereferences immediately.
This is a code path that apparently assumes that a DL-TBF should always
be present. The higher level cause for the NULL DL-TBF has not been
identified.

Use the fact that the MS must answer the RRBP of the Pkt Cell Change
Continue with a CTRL ACK to find out whether the message was received
successfuly or a retransmission is potentially required.
3GPP TS 44.060:
"""
When the mobile station receives the PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER or
the PACKET CELL CHANGE CONTINUE message the mobile station shall
transmit a PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGMENT message in the specified
uplink radio block if a valid RRBP field is received as part of the
message; the mobile station may then switch to a new cell.

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.

Under some circumstances, it could happen that a DL TBF is created as a
GPRS TBF due to not yet having enough information of the MS, and only
after the TBF is created the PCU gains that information and upgrades the
MS mode to "EGPRS". Hence, there's the possibility to run into a
situation where a GPRS TBF is attached to a EGPRS MS.
It may also happen sometimes that despite the TBF and the MS be EGPRS,
there's need to further limit the DL MCS to use, eg. MCS1-4 (GMSK).
As a result, when asking for the current DL (M)CS to use, we must tell
the MS which kind of limitations we want to apply. The later reasoning
was already implemented when GPRS+EGPRS multiplexing was added, but the
former was not being checked. Hence, by further spreading through the
call stack the "req_kind_mode" we match both cases.

MS is always assigned to a BTS, since it's set during MS constructor.

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.

Let's use usual osmocom rate_ctr instead of having one variable +
setter/getter functions, so we can easily add new counters and also
because it makes code more clear (no need to look at what the "update"
function is doing).
Using rate counter also provides info about how recently the MS has been
interacting with the network.

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.
