Before this patch, if timeout_secs == 0 was passed to
osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg(), the previous T value remained set in the
osmo_fsm_inst->T.
For example:
osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg(fi, ST_X, 23, 42);
// timer == 23 seconds; fi->T == 42
osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg(fi, ST_Y, 0, 0);
// no timer; fi->T == 42!
Instead, always set to the T value passed to osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg().
Adjust osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg() API doc; need to rephrase to accurately
describe the otherwise unchanged behaviour independently from T.
Verify in fsm_test.c.
Rationale: it is confusing to have a T number remaining from some past state,
especially since the user explicitly passed a T number to
osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg(). (Usually we are passing timeout_secs=0, T=0).
I first thought this behavior was introduced with
osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg_keep_timer(), but in fact osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg()
behaved this way from the start.
This shows up in the C test for the upcoming tdef API, where the test result
printout was showing some past T value sticking around after FSM state
transitions. After this patch, there will be no such confusion.

This code is supposed to formalize some of the state machine handling in
Osmocom code.
