In gsm0503_pdtch_decode(), we decode CS2 and CS3 as if no puncturing
was employed, reordering the coded bits and setting punctured ones
to 0 manually. Because of that, osmo_conv_decode_ber_punctured()
reports n_bits_total higher than we actually receive over the air.

GPRS coding schemes CS2 and CS3 (defined in 3GPP TS 45.003 sections
5.1.2 and 5.1.3, respectively) employ so-called puncturing, which
can be described as intentional removal of coded bits. The goal
of puncturing is to reduce the number of coded bits, so that they
fit into 4 bursts. The receiving side recovers punctured bits,
as if they were received corrupted.
The puncturing is also used for other channel types like TCH/F9.6,
TCH/F14.4, TCH/AFS and TCH/AHS, but only for CS2 and CS3 we're
doing puncturing/depuncturing *manually*. This explains why
we're seeing artificial bit errors only for CS2 and CS3.
gsm0503_pdtch_decode() should not be reporting punctured bits as
bit errors, fix this by using osmo_conv_decode_ber_punctured().

This patch brings decoding of the CS1 in consistency with the other
three coding schemes, for which we support decoding USF independently.

The USF (Uplink State Flag) field is present in the MAC header of all
Downlink PDCH blocks. It is used by the network to indicate which MS
can transmit on subsequent Uplink PDCH block(s). This field is of a
high importance for the MS, thus the decoder API allows the caller
to obtain USF value separately from the actual data bits.
In the case of gsm0503_pdtch_decode(), if the 'usf_p' pointer is not
NULL, the USF value would be assigned for CS2/CS3/CS4 (but not CS1)
even if the CRC check fails (negative return value). A subsequent
patch is to bring the CS1 in consistency with CS2/CS3/CS4.
In the case of gsm0503_pdtch_egprs_decode(), decoding of the USF
field separately from data bits is not implemented, and moreover
the function itself cannot be used for decoding Downlink blocks.

Similar to Change ID Iade3310e16b906efb6892d28f474a0d15204e861, add
BFI support to TCH AFS and TCH AHS encoder.
Every BTS needs to have some graceful handling for the scenario
where it is time to send out a speech frame on TCH DL, but there is
no frame to be sent. One possible solution is to transmit dummy
FACCH, but this option is unattractive for TCH/AHS where FACCH
displaces two speech frames rather than one. A more elegant solution
is to emit a speech frame with inverted CRC6, causing the MS receiver
to declare a BFI condition to trigger substitution and muting procedure.
Setting all u(k) bits to 0 is one way to produce such an inverted-CRC
speech frame (normal TCH FR/HR CRC6 for an all-zeros frame would be
111111). This patch adds the abiliy to gsm0503_tch_{afs,ahs}_encode()
functions, indicated by payload length of 0.

The spec isn't super clear, but basically the conv coding is done
in two blocks of 72 bits.
The way it's currently implemented isn't "wrong" in the sense it will
produce correct output given no bit errors, but it's better to do the
decoding in two blocks because this then it makes use of the fact we
know the state of the encoder after the 72 bits, which improves the
corrective ability of the code.

According to 3GPP TS 45.003, section 3.9.2, the convolutional coding
is *not* employed in the case of SID_FIRST. This is why we're using
sid_first_dummy[] in this function.
The conv[] array is not initialized in the case of AFS_SID_FIRST and
passing it to tch_amr_reassemble() is highly likely a copy-paste bug.
Pass the sid_first_dummy[] instead.

As was demonstrated in the unit test [1], FACCH bitstealing does not
work as expected in conjunction CSD specific encoding functions.
The problem is in _tch_csd_burst_map(): we don't check the stealing
flags hu(B) and hl(B) and overwrite both odd and even numbered bits
unconditionally. Even worse, we reset these stealing flags to 0.
* Do not overwrite the hu(B) and hl(B) flags.
* Copy *even* numbered bits only if hu(B) is not set.
* Copy *odd* numbered bits only if hl(B) is not set.

Currently FACCH/[FH] encoding and decoding is implemented as part of
the gsm0503_tch_[fh]r_{en,de}code and gsm0503_tch_a[fh]s_{en,de}code
API. This works fine for speech because one FACCH frame completely
replaces one or two speech frames, but this is not the case for CSD.
According to 3GPP TS 45.002, sections 4.2.5 and 4.3.5, for TCH data
channels FACCH does not replace data frames but disturbs some amount
of bits from them. Therefore we need to be able to perform FACCH
encoding and decoding independently from CSD specific coding API.

This is a partial revert of "9dca9027 coding: clean up Makefile.am".
Even though libosmocoding does not use talloc API, it still depends on
this library indirectly via libosmo{core,codec,gsm}. Furthermore, some
of libosmocore's header files do #include <osmocom/core/talloc.h>, and
thus #include <talloc.h> via this internal header.
Under Slackware 14.2 talloc.h header lives in /usr/include/samba-4.0,
and without $(TALLOC_CFLAGS) compilation of libmsocoding fails due
to the preprocessor failing to find this header. The culprit is my
recent patch 9dca9027 removing $(TALLOC_CFLAGS) and $(TALLOC_LIBS).
Put $(TALLOC_CFLAGS) back to AM_CFLAGS; it will likely be emply under
distributions having talloc.h header in the standard include dir. The
$(TALLOC_LIBS) does not need to be resurrected because libtool will
add '-ltalloc' automatically for each libosmo*.la in LIBADD.

Currently there's a big mess where include dir osmocom/gprs/ is used by
both libosmogsm and libosmogb.
Most of the header files under osmocom/gprs/ are actually all the
headers of libosmogb (there's no osmocom/gb/ dir). But a couple files
are actually RLC/MAC (TS 44.060) related are are also stored in there.
Those files have no relation/use in Gb, and are actually interused with
GSM (eg System Information 13 Rest Octets).
Hence, it makes sense to have the RLC/MAC related parts inside
osmocom/gsm/ as they should be in libosmogsm (and they actually are,
see gprs_rlc.h function implemented in src/gsm/gsm48_rest_octets.c).
The fact that some libosmogsm headers were placed in osmocom/gprs
instead of osmocom/gsm already created some issues, like
libosmocore.spec.in putting "%_includedir/%name/osmocom/gprs/" under
libosmogb, which is wrong.
As a first step to fix the mess, we move the 2 RLC/MAC headers currently
under osmocom/gprs/{gprs_rlc,protocol/gsm_04_60}.h under a single header
gsm/protocol/gsm_44_060.h
The two old headers are left existing for backward compatibility and now
simply include the new libosmogsm header, plus a warning asking users to
switch to the new header so we can eventually get rid of them.
This means libosmogb depends on libosmogsm, which is fine and was
already the case beforehand (libosmogb using functions like
gsm48_encode_ra() and linking against it in src/gb/Makefile.am).

As was demonstrated in [1], there is a TCH/AHS specific problem in
libosmocoding causing unexpected BER ~50% in decoded AHS_SID_UPDATE
frames. The reason is that A[H]S_SID_UPDATE employs quite tricky
interleaving algorithm, which is different from the algorithm used
by normal TCH/AHS speech frames or A[F]S_SID_UPDATE frames.
An AHS_SID_UPDATE frame consists of two halves (228 bits each):
+---------+--------------------|---------+--------------------+
| in-band | SID marker | in-band | coded data |
+---------+--------------------|---------+--------------------+
| 16 bits | 212 bits | 16 bits | 212 bits |
The first half contains coded in-band signalling data (16 bits) and
the identification marker (212 bits), which allows to detect that
it's an AHS_SID_UPDATE. This half is carried by even bits of the
first two bursts and odd bits of the last two bursts.
The other half also contains the in-band data (16 bits), while the
remaining 212 bits contain encoded SID_UPDATE (212 bits). This
half is carried by even bits of the last two bursts and odd bits
of the first two bursts.
Current implementation does not use odd bits of the first two
bursts at all, so buffer cB[] in gsm0503_tch_ahs_decode_dtx()
contains only 114 out of 228 bits.
This patch changes the logic, so that gsm0503_tch_ahs_decode_dtx()
would not split AHS_SID_UPDATE onto two frames anymore like its
TCH/AFS equivalent does, but attempt to deinterleave the second
half and attempt to decode the payload immediately.

Both gsm0503_tch_a[fh]s_decode_dtx() functions accept an optional
'dtx' pointer, which is used to indicate type of a received AMR
block to the caller in DTX mode of operation. If not NULL, it's
expected to be updated by gsm0503_detect_a[fh]s_dtx_frame() every
time one of the mentioned functions is called.
However, in case of FACCH both functions return early, so the value
of dtx remains unchanged and thus FACCH frames may be misinterpreted
as AMR's special DTX frames. This is rather critical during the DTX
silence periods, when all special DTX frames (e.g. SID_UPDATE) are
being treated as SUB frames. Each unsuccessful FACCH decoding
attempt will 'poison' SUB measurements, causing unexpected RxQual-
SUB values in the Uplink measurement reports.
Fix this by resetting *dtx to AMR_OTHER in the FACCH specific path.

There are two similar values in enum gsm0503_amr_dtx_frames:
* AFS_SID_UPDATE - precursor of SID UPDATE,
* AFS_SID_UPDATE_CN - the actual SID UPDATE.
The former is internally used by libosmocoding to mark the current
frame as a precursor of the actual SID UPDATE frame - the later.
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| _ | _ | _ | _ | a | b | c | d | AFS_SID_UPDATE
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| a | b | c | d | _ | _ | _ | _ | AFS_SID_UPDATE_CN
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
This is required because function gsm0503_tch_afs_decode_dtx() is
invoked by TDMA scheduler on every 4th received burst, while the
burst buffer is 8 bursts wide.
Currently, whenever gsm0503_detect_afs_dtx_frame() detects an
AFS_SID_UPDATE frame, we still attempt to decode it as a speech
or data below in gsm0503_tch_afs_decode_dtx(). This is indeed
a bug, which results in unexpected BER values:
* expected BER 0/212,
* actual BER 252/448.
We should return immediately once we have detected an AFS_SID_UPDATE.
This patch fixes unexpected BER-SUB values during DTXu silence periods.
