* Make PHY non-blocking and fefactor HO procedure
* makes entire PHY non-blocking through command interface
* adds dedicated queue for cell_search/cell_select commands
* refactor HO procedure to run faster, in one stack cycle. Looks closer to the specs
* force ue to always apply SIB2 configuration during reestablishment
* Run update_measurements in all workers

we fix a number of very related issues for HO/reestablishment
in the success/error case:
* this patch removes the hard-coded check that intra-cell HO aren't
allowed. There are cases where eNBs use this method to update
the security context.
* the patch also fixes an issue after failed HO where the security context
of the source eNB should be used for the reestablishment.
* update security keys according to specs when mobilitycontrol
indicated change of key
the filter alpha was initialized to zero by default which causes an
issue because the first measurement for a cell can't be updated,
because the filtering function will always return the current value.
According to 36.331 Sec 5.5.3.2 Note 2, a k-value of 0 should turn
off filtering, which should be used as the default value until
an update is received from the network.
this patch fixes the UL BSR as per TS 36.321, it includes following
main changes:
* report UL buffer state to reflect the UEs transmit buffer after
the MAC UL PDU containing the BSR has been built.
In other words, if the UE, for example, can transmit all outstanding
data in an UL grant, it will not report any pending data to transmit.
* refactor MUX routines and subheader space calculation
this patch refactors the SDU queuing and dropping policy of the RLC and PDCP layer.
the previous design had issues when packets have been generated at a higher
rate above the PDCP than they could be consumed below the RLC.
When the RLC SDU queues were full, we allowed two policies, one to block on the write
and the other to drop the SDU. Both options are not ideal because they either
lead to a blocking stack thread or to lost PDCP PDUs.
To avoid this, this patch makes the following changes:
* PDCP monitors RLC's SDU queue and drops packets on its north-bound SAP if queues are full
* a new method sdu_queue_is_full() has been added to the RLC interface for PDCP
* remove blocking write from pdcp and rlc write_sdu() interface
* all writes into queues need to be non-blocking
* if Tx queues are overflowing, SDUs are dropped above PDCP, not RLC
* log warning if RLC still needs to drop SDUs
* this case should be avoided with the monitoring mechanism
