At the moment we can only configure a single BSC in the BTS
configuration. This also means that if this single BSC fails for some
reason the BTS has no alternate BSC to connect to. Lets extend the
remote-ip parameter so that it can be used multiple times so that an
operater can configure any number of BSCs that are tried one after
another during BTS startup.

When the paging queue is filled up to a critical level, pagings from the
PCU should be dropped as each immediate assignment paging from the PCU
is worth 4 normal CS pagings. Also the PCU may still issue pagings if the
paginging queue is already full and CS pagings are dropped. In a
congestion situation it is more important to get the CS rather than PS
pagings through.

The BCCH carrier (sometimes called C0) of a BTS shall maintain
discontinuous Downlink transmission at full power in order to
stay 'visible' to the mobile stations. Because of that, early
versions of 3GPP TS 45.008 prohibited BS power reduction on C0.
However, in the recent 3GPP TS 45.008 there is a feature called
'BCCH carrier power reduction operation'. This is a special
mode of operation, where the variation of RF level for some
timeslots is relaxed for the purpose of energy saving.
In BCCH carrier power reduction operation, for timeslots on the
C0 carrier, except timeslots carrying BCCH/CCCH, the output power
may be lower than the output power used for timeslots carrying
BCCH/CCCH. In this case the maximum allowed difference in output
power actually transmitted by the BTS is 6 dB.
The power reduction operation can be controlled by the BSC by
sending BS POWER CONTROL on the A-bis/RSL with the Channel Number
IE set to 0x80 (RSL_CHAN_BCCH). This makes osmo-bts reduce the
transmission power on inactive timeslots of the BCCH carrier.
This is a non-standard, Osmocom specific extension, so indicate
support of this feature to the BSC in the feature vector. Also
add a VTY command to allow enabling/disabling the power reduction
locally. Add some signalling notes to the A-bis/RSL manual.
For more details, see 3GPP TS 45.008, section 7.1.

This new extension protocol is used to forward Osmocom PCUIF messages
BSC<->BTS<->PCU.
It will be sent re-using the IPA multiplex of the OML link between
BSC and BTS. BTS is responsible for forwarding the message over the unix
socket to the PCU.
PCUIF existing RX path needs to be reworked in order to accept
variable-size messages, in order to be able to transparently forward
messages without knowing about them (the new container message is
variable-length).

The PDCH multiframe contains 48 data slots, 2 PTCCH slots, and
2 IDLE slots. The later two can be used for the interference
measurements, since the UEs shall not transmit on them.
bts_report_interf_meas() is called every 104 TDMA frames, what
corresponds to 2 PDCH multiframe periods. Report interference
levels on PDCH timeslots from this function.

This change implements general interference averaging logic for
the higher layers. In l1sap_info_time_ind(), where we receive
TDMA time updates from BTS model, call rsl_tx_rf_res() for each
transceiver according to the interval defined by the Intave
parameter received from the BSC. In rsl_tx_rf_res() perform
the actual averaging for each inactive logical channel, and
then send everything to the BSC over the A-bis/RSL.
The BTS model specific code needs to report the measurements
for each logical channel every 104 TDMA frames (SACCH period)
by calling gsm_lchan_interf_meas_push().

The TSC (Training Sequence Code) value in 'struct gsm_bts_trx_ts'
is always initialized in oml_rx_set_chan_attr() during the OML
bootstrapping, so there is no need for gsm_ts_tsc() - remove it.
Store the initial TSC value in 'struct gsm_bts_trx_ts', so we can
apply a different TSC value during the RSL CHANnel ACTIVation.
Store the Training Sequence Code/Set in 'struct trx_dl_burst_req'.
These values are indicated to the transceiver (TRXDv2 PDUs, 'MTS'
field) and used by the new TRX_{GMSK,8PSK}_NB_TSC macros.

Ensure that we check the PHY capabilities in both cases:
* RSL CHANnel ACTIVation, and
* RSL CHANnel MODE MODIFY,
by calling bts_supports_cm() from rsl_handle_chan_mod_ie().
Modify bts_supports_cm() to accept a 'struct rsl_ie_chan_mode',
so we can handle VAMOS enabled channel modes and CSD later on.

This change implements TRXD PDU batching approach b), which is described
in section 25.3.4 of the user manual [1]. This approach is quite easy
to implement on the transceiver side, so we can enable it by default.

Currently, in bts_sched_fn() we send a Downlink burst to the PHY
immediately after calling the associated logical channel handler.
Together with the obvious performance advantages, this approach
imposes some serious limitations. The code has already become
quite complex with the introduction of the baseband frequency
hopping, and now it's not possible anymore to extend it further.
TRXD PDU batching, which is essential for VAMOS implementation,
requires us to make the scheduler more flexible at the expense of
increased memory consumption and additional CPU cycles. This patch
splits up Downlink burst scheduling into 3 main steps:
1. bts_sched_init_buffers(): initialization of per-TRX Downlink
burst buffers allocated by phy_instance_create(). For C0/TRX0
all timeslots are pre-initialized with dummy burst.
2. bts_sched_fn(): generating burst bits for all active lchans.
3. bts_sched_flush_buffers(): sending everything to the PHY.
This approach allows us to a) get rid of the ugly tail in bts_sched_fn()
that was responsible for sending dummy bursts on C0/TRX0; b) implement
the PDU batching and have several variants of bts_sched_flush_buffers()
providing the alternative batching approaches later on; c) implement
PDU merging for the upcoming shadow transceivers.

We assume that it's legal to have dangling PHY instances that are
not associated with any TRX instances in the configuration file.
Obviously, such PHY instances have pinst->trx set to NULL.
The DSP based models seem to handle dangling PHY instances without
any problems, so let's ensure that we always check pinst->trx
against NULL in the osmo-bts-{trx,virtual} specific code.

Together with the 'generic' structures which used to be shared between
osmo-bsc and osmo-bts some time ago, we also have the following
osmo-bts-trx specific structures (in hierarchical order):
- struct l1sched_trx (struct gsm_bts_trx),
- struct l1sched_ts (struct gsm_bts_trx_ts),
- struct l1sched_chan_state (struct gsm_lchan).
These structures are not integrated into the tree of the generic
structures, but maintained in a _separate tree_ instead. Until
recently, only the 'l1sched_trx' had a pointer to generic
'gsm_bts_trx', so in order to find the corresponding 'gsm_lchan' for
'l1sched_chan_state' one would need to traverse all the way up to
'l1sched_trx' and then tracerse another three backwards.
+ gsm_network
|
--+ gsm_bts (0..255)
|
--+ l1sched_trx --------------------> gsm_bts_trx (0..255)
| |
--+ l1sched_trx_ts --+ gsm_bts_trx_ts (8)
| |
--+ l1sched_chan_state --+ gsm_lchan (up to 8)
I find this architecture a bit over-complicated, especially given
that 'l1sched_trx' is kind of a dummy node containing nothing else
than a pointer to 'gsm_bts_trx' and the list of 'l1sched_trx_ts'.
In this path I slightly change the architecture as follows:
+ gsm_network
|
--+ gsm_bts (0..255)
|
--+ gsm_bts_trx (0..255)
|
--+ l1sched_trx_ts <----------------> gsm_bts_trx_ts (8)
| |
--+ l1sched_chan_state --+ gsm_lchan (up to 8)
Note that unfortunately we cannot 1:1 map 'l1sched_chan_state' to
'gsm_lchan' (like we do for 'l1sched_trx_ts' and 'gsm_bts_trx_ts')
because there is no direct mapping. The former is a higl-level
representation of a logical channel, while the later represents
one specific logical channel type like FCCH, SDCCH/0 or SACCH/0.
osmo-bts-virtual re-uses the osmo-bts-trx hierarchy, so it's also
affected by this change.

lower layer specific APIs require first to enable the TRX object
(GsmL1_PrimId_MphInitReq, which requires ARFCN received during Set
Radio Carrier Attributes) before enabling the per-TS structure.
Hence, OPSTART must happen in RCARRIER MO before OPSTART can be sent to
the Radio Channel MOs, otherwise the initialization of the TS objet will
fail and OPSTART for the RadioChannel MO will send back a NACK.
In order to avoid this, we need to keep the RadioChannel MO announced as
"Disabled Dependency" until RCARRIER is OPSTARTed.

Historically the logical channel handlers like rx_data_fn() used to accept
quite a lot of arguments. With the introduction of additional measurement
parameters it has become clear that we need to group the arguments into
structures. This is why both 'trx_{dl,ul}_burst_{req,ind}' structures
were introduced.
However, both channel type and burst ID were kept untouched, so until
now we had them being passed between the scheduler functions here and
there. This change is a logical conclusion of the original change
mentioned above.
As a part of this change, the new LOGL1SB() macro is introduced. It
does accept a pointer to 'trx_{dl,ul}_burst_{req,ind}' and expands the
context information for the old LOGL1S() macro.

gsm_bts_trx_alloc() already does initialize some fields of the
allocated 'struct gsm_bts_trx' instance, and having an additional
function for initializing the other fields makes no sense.
Note that I intentionally didn't merge a call to bts_model_trx_init()
into gsm_bts_trx_alloc(), because this would break some assumptions
regarding the order of initialization and cause regressions.
This also allows us to not call bts_model_trx_init() from tests.

First of all, there is no reason to use a void pointer because
it's always 'struct phy_instance'. Also, no need to encapsulate
this pointer into 'role_bts' because there are no other roles in
osmo-bts (we used to have shared headers years ago).
This commit also fixes a bug in test_sysmobts_auto_band(), where a
pointer to 'struct femtol1_hdl' was directly assigned to trx.pinst.

The measurement results / TCH indications that are handed when decoding
the TCH/H are off by two bursts. Since a measurement result / TCH block
is expected every two bursts anyway the problem can only be noticed when
a FACCH transmission is going on and the frame numbers of the BFI TCH
blocks appear to be missaligned towards the FACCH block.
The reason is that the incoming bursts are shifted into a 6 burst wide
buffer. The decoding functions always look at the beginning of that
buffer while the bursts are shifted into the buffer from the end. A
facch will always fit exactly in that buffer but TCH/H blocks are only
4 bursts wide and thereofre they need two additional bursts until they
reach the coverage of the decoding function. Lets fix this by putting
the correct frame number (from two bursts before) into the remap
functions in order to get the correct beginning of the block.
Since the FACCH transmission uses six blocks it takes out two TCH
blocks. This means that if we count the FACCH block we end up with a gap
of one TCH voice block. Lets generate a dummy measurement to compensate
the gap. This will also match the behavior of the osmo-bts-sysmo phy.

The MS sets the SRR bit in the L1 SACCH header to request DL-SACCH
repetition from the BTS. At the moment we access the l1_info stored in
tle lchan struct each time we want to check the status of the SRR bit.
However, it is more convinient to do this once at reception and store
the status of the status of the flag in a separate struct member.
