At the moment the PCU has no way of knowing with which BTS model it is
used with. However, some BTS models may require slightly different
behaviour by the PCU, depending on which BTS model is used. So, lets add
an additional bts_model field to struct gsm_pcu_if_info_ind in order to
convey the exact BTS model to the PCU and store this information in
struct gprs_rlcmac_bts

We now use PCUIF v11 in the TTCN3 tests exclusively and also osmo-bts
and osmo-bsc only support PCUIF v11. There is no longer a need to
maintain a backward compatibility to PCUIF v10 in osmo-pcu.

The PCUIF flag PCU_IF_FLAG_SYSMO was originally used by osmo-bts-sysmo
to signal to the PCU that the direct PHY access for the sysmo-bts DSP
should be enabled. With time, support for other BTS models was added and
the flag became a synonym for "direct PHY access", so it makes sense to
rename it to "PCU_IF_FLAG_DIRECT_PHY"

When a downlink IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message is sent through the PCH,
an IMSI is always required in order to be able to calculate the paging
group. However, when the downlink IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT has to be sent
before the MS has completed the GMM ATTACH REQUEST, the IMSI is still
unknown. In this case we may assume that the MS is still in non-DRX
mode, which means it listens on all CCCH blocks (PCH and AGCH).
This means we may send the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT through the AGCH in this
situation. This will also have the advantage that the scheduling through
the AGCH will have less latency than the paging queue.
Unfortunately the SAPI PCU_IF_SAPI_AGCH only supports sending whole MAC
blocks, so it won't be possible to attach a TLLI that can be used for
confirmation. To fix this, let's add a new SAPI_PCUI_IF_AGCH_2, that
works similar as SAPI PCU_IF_SAPI_PCH_2 and use it to send the
IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT through the AGCH.
CAUTION: This patch breaks compatibility with current master osmo-bts
and osmo-bsc (see "Depends")

At the moment we let OsmoBTS (or OsmoBSC) look into the MAC block we
send and in case it is an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT message, a confirmation
would be sent back. Unfortunately, this method is not very practical,
lets add a flag to struct gsm_pcu_if_pch to tell the receiving end that
the MAC block (data) needs to be confirmed when it is sent.

Since we now no longer refer to TLLI when we mean "message ID" (msg_id),
we should also remove the "_DT" / "_dt" suffix from structs and define
constants and replace it with "_2" if required.

The struct gsm_pcu_if_data_cnf_dt was added when the first experiments
mit Ericsson RBS base stations were made. It is essentially a copy of
gsm_pcu_if_data, where the mamber "data" was replaced with a member
"msg_id" (which was originally called "tlli"). Since we didn't know
back then which parameters we would still need at some later point we
kept all the other parameters. However, to this day we never used the
parameters below fn. Even fn was only used for logging purposes, but is
now also unused.
Let's remove all those unused members.
(Since all removed members are at the tail of the struct,
compatibility with other programs that use the PCUIF should not break.)

To confirm downlink IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT messages, we use the TLLI as an
identifier and the related struct member is also called "tlli".
Unfortunately this is misleading since the message identifier does not
necessarly have to be a TLLI. It is just an implementation detail that
osmo-pcu uses the TLLI as a message identifier.
To make that clear, lets rename the tlli member (and variable and
parameter names where it is passed on) to "msg_id".
(Since this change only renames variables and struct members it will not
break compatibility with other programs that use the PCUIF)

In situations where the PCU is co-located to the BSC, the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT
for downlink TBFs must be sent via RSL and the BSC also must instruct the BTS
to transmit the IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT via PCH instead of AGCH. Eventually the
BSC must sent a confirmation message (follow-up patch) where the TLLI is used
as an identifer.
This new method will eventually replace the previous method that uses
the MAC block as an identifier. To remain compatible with older versions
of osmo-bsc, we will keep the old method until osmo-bts is migrated as
well.
This patch also requires new features to be added to the PCU socket
interface the version number of the protocol is incremented from 0x0a to
0x0b. Version 0x0a will remain compatible and use the old method, while
version 0x0b will use the new method introduced with this patch.

The current name of PCU_IF_SAPI_AGCH_DT is a bit misleading as it
describes a method to send immediate assignment messages (normally AGCH)
via the PCH. The name in the constant should reflect that correctly

osmo-pcu will also support GPRS via E1 timeslots in a BSC co-located
setup. To avoid duplicate configuration the BSC has to communicate the
E1 parameters (which TS, SS etc.) to the PCU. Lets add a new primitive
to do that.

struct gsm_pcu_if_info_ts has a struct member "h", which controls

While NACC was initially developed, it became clear there was need for
a way to interact PCU<->BSC in order resolve ARFCN+BSIC into CGI-PS
for later RIM usage.
Hence, this resolution was first (until today) implemented using an out
of bands RPC system using the CTRL interface, which required specific
config to be written and matches in osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc VTY (ip+port
of the CTRL interface to use).
However, this has several shortcomings:
* As explained above, specific configuration is required
* Since recently, we do support BSC redundancy in osmo-bts. Hence the BTS
may switch to a BSC other than first one. If that happened, that'd mean
the CTRL interface would still point to the initially configured one,
which may not be the same currently serving the PCU.
During recent development of ANR related features, a similar need for
PCU<->BSC was required, but this time it was decided to extend the IPA
multiplex of the Abis OML connection to pass PCUIF messages,
transparently forwarded to each side by the BTS.
This has the advantage that connection PCU<->BTS is handled by BTS and
both sides send messages transparently.
Let's switch by default to using this new interface, while still
maintaing the old way for a while (announcing them as deprecated) to
avoid breaking existing deployments until they are upgraded to new
versions of osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc.

Since there can be multiple PDCH channels configured on different
timeslots, different TRXes, and BTSes, the PTCCH/U handling code
in OsmoPCU needs to know the exact origin of a given RACH.ind.
Otherwise, it is not known which subscriber originated a given
PTCCH/U indication, and hence it is impossible to send PTCCH/D
Timing Advance notification properly.
Fortunately, we can extend the RACH.ind message without even
bumping the protocol version, because every single PDU has a
fixed size defined by the largest message - INFO.ind. In case
if the actual message payload is smaller, the rest is filled
with a constant padding byte (0x00).
Older versions of OsmoPCU will consider the new fields as padding,
while the messages from older OsmoBTS versions will always have
both fields set to 0x00. Since C0/TS0 cannot be configured to
PDCH, this can be easily detected on the other end.

Receive an Application Information Request from the BTS via PCU

(3GPP TS 44.060 11.2.47) and send it to all MS with active TBF.
The TTCN-3 test infrastructure to test this feature is not quite ready

As specified in 3GPP TS 03.60 Section 16.2.1 and 44.018 Section 3.4.15,
a Class B MS is sending a "RR GPRS SUSPEND REQ" via a DCCH to the BTS if
it wants to suspend GPRS services. As of
Change-Id I3c1af662c8f0d3d22da200638480f6ef05c3ed1f, OsmoBTS forwards
this via the PCU socket, so we need to pick it up and send it via BSSGP
to the SGSN.
