After this patch, most vty_go_parent() functions are really obsolete, as
originally intended: A vty_go_parent() is only needed if the program
requires an action to run on VTY node exit.
vty_transcript_test.vty shows the fixed behavior.
For details, see preceding patch

important that the output is flushed immediately.

Having the expert mode flag stored in the global 'host' structure
was a bad idea, because this way it applies globally. In other
words, if user Bob activates the expert mode in his dedicated
session (e.g. a telnet connection), then not only him, but all
other users would see the hidden commands in their VTYs.
Moreover, if somebody deactivates the expert mode, it would also
affect the Bob's VTY session. And finally, terminating a VTY
session would not deactivate the expert mode.
Let's move that flag from the global 'struct host' to 'struct vty'
representing an individual VTY session, so then the expert mode
would only affect the session where it was activated.
In functions related to the XML VTY reference generation we don't
have access to 'struct vty' (there may be no VTY session at all).
Add two additional arguments to vty_dump_nodes(), indicating the
global flag mask and a matching mode. This would allow to match
the VTY commands in many different ways, e.g. one can dump hidden
commands only, or all commands except the library specific ones.

Some VTY commands are intentionally hidden, e.g. because they might
by relatively dangerous if used in production operation. We equip
such commands with a special attribute - CMD_ATTR_HIDDEN.
The problem is that neiter they appear in the XML VTY reference,
nor in the online VTY help, so it's a bit tricky to invoke them.
This change introduces so-called 'expert' mode, in which hidden
(but not deprecated) commands are getting visible.
In the (telnet) VTY session, this mode can be activated by passing
an additional argument to well-known 'enable' command:
OsmoApp> enable ?
[expert-mode] Enable the expert mode (show hidden commands)
OsmoApp> enable expert-mode
OsmoApp#
so then hidden commands will appear together with all the other
commands. They will be marked with a special '^' flag:
OsmoApp# list with-flags
^ ... foo-hidden [expert-mode]
. ... foo-regular-one
! ... foo-immediate
^ u.. app-hidden-unbelievable
For the XML reference generation, additional API needs to be
introduced. This will be implemented in subsequent patches.

Although this OSMO_DEPRECATED doesn't seem to generate a warning when compiling
code that sets .is_config_node = foo, it seems a good idea to add the
deprecation tag.
It is deprecated since commit "vty: track parent nodes also for telnet sessions"

Keep track of parent nodes and go back hierarchically, not only for .cfg file
reading, but also for telnet VTY sessions.
A long time ago cfg file parsing was made strictly hierarchical: node exits go
back to parent nodes exactly as they were entered. However, live telnet VTY
sessions still lacked this and depended on the go_parent_cb().
From this commit on, implementing a go_parent_cb() is completely optional. The
go_parent_cb() no longer has the task to determine the correct parent node,
neither for cfg files (as already the case before this patch) nor for telnet
VTY sessions (added by this patch). Instead, a go_parent_cb() implementation
can merely take actions it requires on node exits, for example applying some
config when leaving a specific node.
The node value that is returned by the go_parent_cb() and the vty->node and
vty->index values that might be set are completely ignored; instead the
implicit parent node tracking determines the parent and node object.
As a side effect, the is_config_node() callback is no longer needed, since the
VTY now always implicitly knows when to exit back to the CONFIG_NODE.
For example, osmo_ss7_is_config_node() could now be dropped, and the
osmo_ss7_vty_go_parent() could be shortened by five switch cases, does no
longer need to set vty->node nor vty->index and could thus be shortened to:
int osmo_ss7_vty_go_parent(struct vty *vty)
{
struct osmo_ss7_asp *asp;
struct osmo_xua_server *oxs;
switch (vty->node) {
case L_CS7_ASP_NODE:
asp = vty->index;
/* If no local addr was set */
if (!asp->cfg.local.host_cnt) {
asp->cfg.local.host[0] = NULL;
asp->cfg.local.host_cnt = 1;
}
osmo_ss7_asp_restart(asp);
break;
case L_CS7_XUA_NODE:
oxs = vty->index;
/* If no local addr was set, or erased after _create(): */
if (!oxs->cfg.local.host_cnt)
osmo_ss7_xua_server_set_local_host(oxs, NULL);
if (osmo_ss7_xua_server_bind(oxs) < 0)
vty_out(vty, "%% Unable to bind xUA server to IP(s)%s", VTY_NEWLINE);
break;
}
return 0;
}
Before parent tracking, every program was required to write a go_parent_cb()
which has to return every node's parent node, basically a switch() statement
that manually traces the way back out of child nodes. If the go_parent_cb() has
errors, we may wildly jump around the node tree: a common error is to jump
right out to the top config node with one exit, even though we were N levels
deep. This kind of error has been eliminated for cfg files long ago, but still
exists for telnet VTY sessions, which this patch fixes.
This came up when I was adding multi-level config nodes to osmo-hlr to support
Distributed GSM / remote MS lookup: the config file worked fine, while vty node
tests failed to exit to the correct nodes.

For async callbacks it is useful to determine whether a given VTY pointer is still valid.
For example, in osmo-msc, a silent call can be triggered by VTY, which causes a
Paging. The paging_cb then writes to the VTY console that the silent call has
succeeded. Unless the telnet vty session has already ended, in which case
osmo-msc crashes; e.g. from an osmo_interact_vty.py command invocation. With
this function, osmo-msc can ask whether the vty pointer passed to the paging
callback is still active, and skip vty_out() if not.

Extend the vty_bind_cmd VTY command to allow to optionally specify
a port in addition to the IPv4 address.
Introduce telnet_init_default to relieve client code from having
to query the bind IPv4 address (and now the TCP port). Instead a
client only needs to pass the default TCP port to use.
Client code should use it like:
int rc = telnet_init_default(ctx, priv, OSMO_VTY_PORT_SGSN);

Note: This will break users' config files if they do not use consistent
indenting. (see below for a definition of "consistent".)
When reading VTY commands from a file, use indenting as means to implicitly
exit child nodes. Do not look for commands in the parent node implicitly.
The VTY so far implies 'exit' commands if a VTY line cannot be parsed on the
current node, but succeeds on the parent node. That is the mechanism by which
our VTY config files do not need 'exit' at the end of each child node.
We've hit problems with this in the following scenarios, which will show
improved user experience after this patch:
*) When both a parent and its child node have commands with identical names:
cs7 instace 0
point-code 1.2.3
sccp-address osmo-msc
point-code 0.0.1
If I put the parent's command below the child, it is still interpreted in the
context of the child node:
cs7 instace 0
sccp-address osmo-msc
point-code 0.0.1
point-code 1.2.3
Though the indenting lets me assume I am setting the cs7 instance's global PC
to 1.2.3, I'm actually overwriting osmo-msc's PC with 1.2.3 and discarding the
0.0.1.
*) When a software change moves a VTY command from a child to a parent. Say
'timezone' moved from 'bts' to 'network' level:
network
timezone 1 2
Say a user still has an old config file with 'timezone' on the child level:
network
bts 0
timezone 1 2
trx 0
The user would expect an error message that 'timezone' is invalid on the 'bts'
level. Instead, the VTY finds the parent node's 'timezone', steps out of 'bts'
to the 'network' level, and instead says that the 'trx' command does not exist.
Format:
Consistent means that two adjacent indenting lines have the exact
same indenting characters for the common length:
Weird mix if you ask me, but correct and consistent:
ROOT
<space>PARENT
<space><tab><space>CHILD
<space><tab><space><tab><tab>GRANDCHILD
<space><tab><space><tab><tab>GRANDCHILD2
<space>SIBLING
Inconsistent:
ROOT
<space>PARENT
<tab><space>CHILD
<space><space><tab>GRANDCHILD
<space><tab><tab>GRANDCHILD2
<tab>SIBLING
Also, when going back to a parent level, the exact same indenting must be used
as before in that node:
Incorrect:
ROOT
<tab>PARENT
<tab><tab><tab>CHILD
<tab><tab>SIBLING
As not really intended side effect, it is also permitted to indent the entire
file starting from the root level. We could guard against it but there's no
harm:
Correct and consistent:
<tab>ROOT
<tab><tab>PARENT
<tab><tab><tab><tab>CHILD
<tab><tab>SIBLING
Implementation:
Track parent nodes state: whenever a command enters a child node, push a parent
node onto an llist to remember the exact indentation characters used for that
level.
As soon as the first line on a child node is parsed, remember this new
indentation (which must have a longer strlen() than its parent level) to apply
to all remaining child siblings and grandchildren.
If the amount of spaces that indent a following VTY command are less than this
expected indentation, call vty_go_parent() until it matches up.
At any level, if the common length of indentation characters mismatch, abort
parsing in error.
Transitions to child node are spread across VTY implementations and are hard to
change. But transitions to the parent node are all handled by vty_go_parent().
By popping a parent from the list of parents in vty_go_parent(), we can also
detect that a command has changed the node without changing the parent, hence
it must have stepped into a child node, and we can push a parent frame.
The behavior on the interactive telnet VTY remains unchanged.

Considering the various styles and implications found in the sources, edit
scores of files to follow the same API doc guidelines around the doxygen
grouping and the \file tag.
Many files now show a short description in the generated API doc that was so
far only available as C comment.
The guidelines and reasoning behind it is documented at
https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Guidelines_for_API_documentation
In some instances, remove file comments and add to the corresponding group
instead, to be shared among several files (e.g. bitvec).

Add VTY command
line vty
bind A.B.C.D
The command merely stores the configured IP-address, which can then be used by
the calling main program to set the telnet port of the VTY line. (Commits in
openbsc and osmo-iuh will follow up on this.)
Add function vty_get_bind_addr() to publish the address in the vty.h API.
Add static vty_bind_addr to store.
For allocation/freeing reasons, a NULL address defaults to 127.0.0.1.
BTW, I decided against allowing keywords 'any' and 'localhost' in place of an
actual IP address to make sure a written config is always identical to the
parsed config.
We are mixing enums and hope that no short-enums are used. This
is leading to a lot compiler warnings generated by clang. Change
the API to work with integers.
Porting:
The go_parent_cb implementations in the applications need to be
fixed. The API change leads to a compile time warning.
Fixes:

For the BSC/NITB application we see that people modify the band
without modifying the ARFCN. This creates an unbootable config.
Using the new hook the BSC/NITB can check if the config is
consistent and prevent the config file being written.

The testcase didn't work on Ubuntu 12.04 because vty_create will
directly call vty_event (e.g. not through the plt). This means
that the approach to override vty_event in the testcase failed.
Use the signal interface of libosmocore and make the testcase
use it. The signals can be generally useful as well.
When using ^D at config nodes above the CONFIG_NODE, the
go_parent_cb function is used to go down by one node. This
is equivalent to "exit" command.
