The code would have used an uninitialized current_time in case
"now" was not NULL. As now is const and timersub expects a non
const parameter I decided to copy now into current_time.
Fixes: CID #1040661
As it turns out, the previous fix didn't cover the case of a
timer X being re-scheduled inside a timer call back expiring at
the same time as the previous X instance.

This patch adds RB-tree based timers which scales better than the
previous list-based implementation.
It does not require any API changes. It breaks ABI because the
osmo_timer_list structure has changed though (to avoid this in
the future, we can put internal data in some private structure).
The following table summarizes the worst-case computational complexity
of this new implementation versus the previous one:
rb-tree list-based
------- ----------
calculate next timer to expire O(1) O(n)
insertion of new timer O(log n) O(n)
deletion of timer O(log n) O(1)
timer-fired scheduler O(log n) O(3n)
The most repeated cases are:
* the calculation of the next timer to expire, that happens in every
loop of our select function.
* the timer-fired scheduler execution.
This new implementation only loses in the deletion of timer scenario,
this happens because we may need to rebalance the tree after the
removal.
So I think there is some real gain if we have some situation in which
we have to handle lots of timers.
This patch moves all GSM-specific definitions to include/osmocom/gsm.
Moreover, the headers in include/osmocore/ have been moved to
include/osmocom/core.
This has been proposed by Harald Welte and Sylvain Munaunt.
Tested with `make distcheck'.
