According to feedback received from TITAN developers in
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=1106652&goto=1848616&#msg_1848616
the use of alive-type components has the following advantage:
> Also the DTE during the shutdown can be avoided to use alive type

So the idea of this patch is to use alive-type components for all the
underlying infrastructure, such as the *_Emulation_CT starting from M3UA
to SCCP and further up the stack. This way, only the MTC and the
highest level of components (such as ConnHdlr) remain as normal
components.
The hope is that using more alive-type components in the lower protocol
layer emulations will reduce the probability of DTE during shutdown if
some message is received during the component shutdown after the MTC
has completed.

Those two modules are analogous to BSSAP/BSSMAP CodecPort and Emulation,
but for the Lb interface (BSC-SMLC) instead of the A interface.
