When a RESET is received on the same link with a different NSVCI from
a BSS on a dynamically created NS connection do not patch the nsvc
object but create a new one instead. Thus the NSVCI is never modified
at a nsvc object after the NS-VC has been established.

This modifies the NS stack's behavior to accept RESET and RESET_ACK
NSEI changes for NS-VC dynamically created by RESET messages from
BSSes. This feature is not used for NS-VC configured via VTY or NS-VC
to a SGSN.

This changes the implementations for the reception of RESET and
RESET_ACK to be compatible with 3GPP TS 08.16, 7.3.1:
- Just send a RESET_ACK with correct values back to the SGSN when a
RESET with an invalid NSVCI or NSEI has been received.
- Check RESET_ACK for matching NSEI and NSVCI.
- Ignore unexpected RESET_ACKs.
In addition, use RESET_ACK from a BSS to update the BSS source
address based on the NSVCI to be tolerant with changing UDP source
addresses/ports.

Under special circumstances (see below) receiving a NS-RESET leads to
duplicated NS-VC entries.
This happens when the source port of a NS-VC changes to a new one
that has already been used by another NS-VC.
This patch changes gprs_ns_rx_reset() to check for this case and to
use the existing NS-VC object. The NS-VC object that was associated
with the source address before is detached from this source but kept
in the NS-VC list so that it can be reattached when a correspondent
NS-RESET is received later on. Meanwhile it will have a cleared link
layer address which will not match a real link info.
A new counter NS_CTR_REPLACED is incremented each time when the NS-VC
object is replacing another one. A new signal S_NS_REPLACED is added
which gets dispatched in this case, too.
Another new counter NS_CTR_NSEI_CHG is incremented each time when the
NSEI of a NS-VC object (with fixed NSVCI) changes.

Adds the functions gprs_ns_ll_copy() and gprs_ns_ll_clear(). Renames
gprs_ns_format_peer() to gprs_ns_ll_str(). All of these functions
uniformly access the link layer part within the NS-VC objects.

Currently this first NS-VC with a matching NSEI is always used to
send a UNITDATA message via gprs_ns_sendmsg(). If the NS-VC found is
either dead or blocked, an error is returned.
This patch changes to code to skip blocked or dead NS-VCs while
searching and return the error if no usable NS-VC is found. This
makes it possible to have several NS-VCs per connection group.

Currently when a NS-RESET is recevied over a link that has not yet
been associated with a NS-VC, the NSEI is used to find an existing
NS-VC. If one is found, the reset procedure is initiated.
This behaviour is not conformant with 3GPP TS 08.16 (see chapter
4.2.3) which allows to use several NS-VC between two endpoints in
parallel.
The patch changes the implementation to use the NSVCI instead
of the NSEI to search for an existing NS-VC object.

According to 3GPP TS 08.16, 7.3 "Reset procedure" the entity
receiving a NS-RESET PDU responds with a NS-RESET-ACK and 'then'
starts the test procedure which essentially means, that a NS-ALIVE
gets sent and a timer is started.
Currently the NS-ALIVE is sent before the NS-RESET-ACK.
This patch fixes the implementation by reversing the order in which
these messages are sent.

This patch refactors gprs_ns_rcvmsg() by moving the parts relevant to
the NS messages into the new functions gprs_ns_vc_create() (nsvc
object creation) and gprs_ns_process_msg() (main NS automaton). These
do not contain code that directly depends on the link layer (they
call other functions that still do). This reduces the gprs_ns_rcvmsg()
function to calling these two functions and optionally setting up the
link layer specific fields of the nsvc.
