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.

BTS simply notifies the PCU about the supported MCS, and PCU is
responsible for providing correct data formatting supported for the BTS

This VTY command was added due to EGPRS being introduced later as an
experimental feature. It's no longer needed and causes more problems
than goodness (since people sometimes forgets to enable it).
Let's rather simply enable EGPRS support based on what BTS/BSC requests
over PCUIF.

Otherwise the TBFs are kept, and hence PCU will continue reserving resources and
DL data queued will still be sent over the air, despite the MS not
listening anymore on the PDCH.

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.

For instance, that may happen because the len of the message is not
filling the expect size (because padding is missing for example). Still,
in this case we know the channel type, so we set it so that wireshark
tries to decode the message as a data one.

This patch is a set of tightly related changes:
- group all RACH.ind parameters into struct 'rach_ind_params';
- group Channel Request parameters into struct 'chan_req_params';
- get rid of egprs_mslot_class_from_ra(), priority_from_ra(),
and is_single_block(), introduce unified parse_rach_ind();
- improve logging, get rid of redundant information.
This is needed for proper EGPRS Packet Channel Request handling.

It's not really needed to have those together in some function calls,
and makes it more difficult to follow the code. Furthermore, new callers
not having content already aligned (len+value) will be using these
functions in forthcoming commits.

This will allow for configuration of some of the timers by the user,
and allow him to inspect current values being used.
It will be also useful for TTCN3 tests which may want to test some of
the timers without having to wait for lots of time.
Timers are splitted into 2 groups: BTS controlled ones and PCU controlled
ones. The BTS controlled ones are read-only by the user (hence no
"timer" VTY command is provided to change them).
TbfTest.err output changes due to timers being set up correctly as a
consequence of changes. Other application such as pcu_emu.cpp and
pcu_main.cpp had to previosuly set the initial values by hand (and did
so), but apparently TbfTest.c was missing that part, which is now fixed
for free.

As specified in 3GPP TS 03.60 Section 16.2.1 and 44.018 Section 3.4.15,
a Class B MS is sending a "RR GPRS SUSPEND REQ" via a DCCH to the BTS if
it wants to suspend GPRS services. As of
Change-Id I3c1af662c8f0d3d22da200638480f6ef05c3ed1f, OsmoBTS forwards
this via the PCU socket, so we need to pick it up and send it via BSSGP
to the SGSN.
