This change is a big step towards handling of multiple transceivers
in a single process, i.e. multiple MS and multiple BTS connections.
The old class hierarchy wasn't flexible enough, because initially
fake_trx was designed as a bridge between OsmocomBB and OsmoBTS,
but not as the burst router. There were two separate, but 90%
similar implementations of the CTRL interface, two variations
of each simulation parameter - one for UL, another for DL.
The following new classes are introduced:
- Transceiver - represents a single transceiver, that can be
used as for the BTS side, as for the MS side. Each instance
has its own CTRL, DATA, and (optionally) CLCK interfaces,
among with basic state variables, such as both RX / TX freq.,
power state (running or idle) and list of active timeslots.
- CTRLInterfaceTRX - unified control interface handler for
common transceiver management commands, such as POWERON,
RXTUNE, and SETSLOT. Deprecates both CTRLInterface{BB|BTS}.
- FakeTRX - basically, a child of Transceiver, extended with
RF path (burst loss, RSSI, TA, ToA) simulation. Implements
a custom CTRL command handler for CTRLInterfaceTRX.
The following classes were refactored:
- BurstForwarder - still performs burst forwarding, but now
it doesn't store any simulation parameters, and doesn't
know who is BTS, and who is MS. Actually, BurstForwarder
transforms each L12TRX message into a TRX2L1 message, and
dispatches it between running transceivers with matching
RX frequency and matching timeslot.
- FakePM - still generates random RSSI values, but doesn't
distinguish between MS and BTS anymore. As soon as a
measurement request is received, it attempts to find
at least one running TRX on a given frequency.
Please note that fake_trx.py still does handle only a single pair
of MS and BTS. No regressions have been observed. Both new and
refactored classes were documented.

It makes much more sense to read data from socket in handle_rx(),
instead of expecting a buffer with received data from caller.

Since we have introduced ApplicationBase class, that are used
by all existing applications, let's merge the copyright
printing helper into it.

Before this change, it was impossible to configure logging
parameters from command line, such as log level and format.
This change introduces the following optional arguments:
--log-level - logging level for stderr (by default, DEBUG);
--log-format - logging message format for stderr;
--log-file-name - enable logging to a given file;
--log-file-level - logging level for file (by default, DEBUG);
--log-file-format - logging message format for file;
which are defined in a new class called ApplicationBase, so
all existing applications should inherit them now.

There are multiple advantages of using Python's logging module:
- advanced message formatting (file name, line number, etc.),
- multiple logging targets (e.g. stderr, file, socket),
- logging levels (e.g. DEBUG, INFO, ERROR),
- the pythonic way ;)
so, let's replace multiple print() calls by logging calls,
add use the following logging message format by default:
[%(levelname)s] %(filename)s:%(lineno)d %(message)s
Examples:
[INFO] ctrl_if_bts.py:57 Starting transceiver...
[DEBUG] clck_gen.py:87 IND CLOCK 26826
[DEBUG] ctrl_if_bts.py:71 Recv POWEROFF cmd
[INFO] ctrl_if_bts.py:73 Stopping transceiver...
[INFO] fake_trx.py:127 Shutting down...
Please note that there is no way to filter messages by logging
level yet. This is to be introduced soon, together with argparse.

The randomization of both UL/DL RSSI and ToA values is optional,
and can be configured from the control interface (see both
FAKE_RSSI and FAKE_TOA commands).
The command line options for enabling / disabling the randomization
were redundant, so let's get rid of them and check if the
corresponding treshold value is set.

Previous hardcoded default of 0.0.0.0 was inappropiate in some
scenarios, as it sets the SRC addr of the packets sent through the
socket based on the routing.
For instance, if iface IF1 has assigned two IP addresses A and B,
A being the first addr of the interface, and osmo-bts-trx is
configured with "osmotrx ip local A" and "osmotrx ip remote B",
the following happens:
CMD POWER OFF src=A:5801 dst=B:5701
RSP POWER OFF src=A:5701 dst=A:5701 <-- A is assigned as src addr.
But osmo-bts-trx is waiting for packets from B:5701, and the packet
is dropped with ICMP Unreachable. If addr binding is forced in
fake_trx to B, then everthing's fine.
Let's extend the UDPLink in order to allow manual, but optional
setting of bind address, and add a corresponding cmdline
argument to all executables.

This toolkit has branched out into several different tools for
TRX interface hacking, and creating a virtual Um-interface
(FakeTRX) is only one of its potential applications.
