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.

Value 'false' is always passed by all callers of the function, so
there's no need to pass it. Furthermore, since it's false, there's no
need to access poll_fn since RRBP will always be invalid.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

In previous status, if USF for GPRS-only MS was selected, then EGPRS
TBFs were skipped and either a GPRS TBF was selected or a Dummy Block
was sent. That means the behavior was unfair towards EGPRS TBFs, because
sometimes they were skipped in favor of GPRS ones.
This patch imporves the situation in the above mentioned USF scenario, by
first, under specific conditions, allowing selection of an EGPRS TBF and
then forcing it to transmit in EGPRS-GMSK (MCS1-4) so that the
USF-targeted MS can still decode the USF, while at the same time
providing more fairness by allowing the EGPRS TBF to transmit data.
The specific conditions mentioned above are, mainly, related to the fact
that once a DL data block has been sent, and hence a BSN was assigned to
it, it cannot be retransmitted later using another MCS, since lower
MCS1-4 wouldn't be able to contain higher MCS RLC payload.
The set of conditions could be expanded in the future by also selecting
the EGPRS TBF if retransmition is required and the block to be
retransmitted was originally transmitted as MCS1-4.

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.

In get_paging_mi(), before this, an encoded buffer of Mobile Identity bytes is
returned. Code paths following this repeatedly decode the Mobile Identity
bytes, e.g. for logging. Also, in get_paging_mi(), since the TMSI is read in
from a different encoding than a typical Mobile Identity IE, the TMSI was
manually encoded into a typical Mobile Identity IE. This is essentially a code
dup of osmo_mobile_identity_encode(). Stop this madness.
Instead, in get_paging_mi(), return a decoded struct osmo_mobile_identity. Code
paths after this use the struct osmo_mobile_identity directly without repeated
decoding.
At the point of finally needing an encoded Mobile Identity IE (in
Encoding::write_paging_request()), do a proper osmo_mobile_identity_encode().
Since this may return errors, add an rc check for the caller of
write_paging_request(), gprs_rlcmac_paging_request().
A side effect is stricter validation of the Mobile Identity passing through the
Paging code path. Before, invalid MI might have passed through unnoticed.
