Currently the counters are scanned twice, once for interval
computation and once for reporting.
This adds a reminder to move the interval computation code to a
special stats reporter which just shall update the fields.

For global value reporting, some additional helper functions are
needed. The statsd protocol expects differential counter values,
which are currently not provided by rate_ctr (except for s/m/h/d
intervals).
This commit adds several helper functions to rate_ctr:
- rate_ctr_difference returns the counter delta since the last
call to this function for a given counter
- rate_ctr_for_each_counter
iterates through each counter of a group
- rate_ctr_for_each_group
iterates through all globally registered
counter groups
Note that the rate_ctr_difference function can only be used by a
single backend, since it modifies the 'previous' field in the
rate_ctr obj.

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'.

There should not be any u_int*_t types in this file, no need
to include this file. It is breaking compilation with the last
x86 build of GNU ARM for GCC 3.4.
If a second ends, we add the number of events in that just-ended second
to the number of events in the currently running minute. The same happens
at the end of a minute: We add the number of events in that just-ended
minute into the number of events of the still-running hour, etc.
This gives a much more meaningful numbers and we don't end up with
"12 events per second, but 0 events per minute" kind of situations
anymore.
A 'rate counter' is a counter that counts events but also keeps
track of the rate of events (per second, minute, hour and day).
'rate counters' are generally abstracted in 'rate counter groups',
which are instances of a 'rate counter group description'. This
way we can have e.g. a description describing what kind of counters
a BTS (or TRX) has - and we can then create one instance of that
group for every BTS or TRX that exists.
