MS Power Control Loop: Support turn off C/I based logic
Setting LOWER_CMP_N and UPPER_CMP_N for all channel types can be quite cumbersome and end up in lengthy config files. Let's instead add a placeholder command to apply it to all channel types of a BTS at once. This is useful specially since a user disabling C/I capabilities probably does so because it may require a fair amount of fine-tuning parameters to have it working perfectly. Hence, a user not willing to spend time configuring those parameters correctly (and for which default ones doesn't work properly) will require quick way to get rid of C/I based MS Power Control Loop. By disabling C/I comparison, osmo-bts will rely on RxLev only when applying the MS Power Control Loop, which is fine for non noisy environments.

+NOTE: The BSC can instruct a BTS to disable C/I related logic in its
+autonomous MS Power Control Loop for a given channel type (hence not taking C/I
+measurements into account) by means of setting both related LOWER_CMP_N and
+UPPER_CMP_N parameters to zero (see _ci-thresh-comp_ VTY command). For the sake
+of easing configuration, a placeholder VTY command to disable C/I for all
+channel types is available under VTY node _ms-power-control_ as *_ci-thresh-comp
