mscsplit: various preparations to separate MSC from BSC
Disable large parts of the code that depend on BSC presence. The code sections disabled by #if BEFORE_MSCSPLIT shall be modified or dropped in the course of adding the A-interface. Don't set msg->lchan nor msg->dst. Don't use lchan in libmsc. Decouple lac from bts. Prepare entry/exit point for MSC -> BSC and MSC -> RNC communication: Add msc_ifaces.[hc], a_iface.c, with a general msc_tx_dtap() to redirect to different interfaces depending on the actual subscriber connection. While iu_tx() is going to be functional fairly soon, the a_tx() is going to be just a dummy for some time (see comment). Add Iu specific fields in gsm_subscriber_connection: the UE connection pointer and an indicator for the Integrity Protection status on Iu (to be fully implemented in later commits). Add lac member to gsm_subscriber_connection, to allow decoupling from bts->location_area_code. The conn->lac will actually be set in iu.c in an upcoming commit ("add iucs.[hc]"). move to libcommon-cs: gsm48_extract_mi(), gsm48_paging_extract_mi(). libmsc: duplicate gsm0808 / gsm48 functions (towards BSC). In osmo-nitb, libmsc would directly call the functions on the BSC level, not always via the bsc_api. When separating libmsc from libbsc, some functions are missing from the linkage. Hence duplicate these functions to libmsc, add an msc_ prefix for clarity, also add a _tx to gsm0808_cipher_mode(): * add msc_gsm0808_tx_cipher_mode() (dummy/stub) * add msc_gsm48_tx_mm_serv_ack() * add msc_gsm48_tx_mm_serv_rej() Call these from libmsc instead of * gsm0808_cipher_mode() * gsm48_tx_mm_serv_ack() * gsm48_tx_mm_serv_rej() Also add a comment related to msc_gsm0808_tx_cipher_mode() in two places. Remove internal RTP streaming code; OsmoNITB supported that, but for OsmoMSC, this will be done with an external MGCP gateway. Remove LCHAN_MODIFY from internal MNCC state machine. Temporarily disable all paging to be able to link libmsc without libbsc. Skip the paging part of channel_test because the paging is now disabled. Employ fake paging shims in order for msc_vlr_tests to still work. msc_compl_l3(): publish in .h, tweak return value. Use new libmsc enum values for return val, to avoid dependency on libbsc headers. Make callable from other scopes: publish in osmo_msc.h and remove 'static' in osmo_msc.c add gsm_encr to subscr_conn move subscr_request to gsm_subscriber.h subscr_request_channel() -> subscr_request_conn() move to libmsc: osmo_stats_vty_add_cmds() gsm_04_08: remove apply_codec_restrictions() gsm0408_test: use NULL for root ctx move to libbsc: gsm_bts_neighbor() move to libbsc: lchan_next_meas_rep() move vty config for t3212 to network level (periodic lu) remove unneccessary linking from some tests remove handle_abisip_signal() abis_rsl.c: don't use libvlr from libbsc gsm_subscriber_connection: put the LAC here, so that it is available without accessing conn->bts. In bsc_api.c, place this lac in conn for the sake of transition: Iu and A will use this new field to pass the LAC around, but in a completely separate OsmoBSC this is not actually needed. It can be removed again from osmo-bsc.git when the time has come. Siemens MRPCI: completely drop sending the MRPCI messages for now, they shall be added in osmo-bsc once the A-Interface code has settled. See OS#2389.

+/* These are the interfaces of the MSC layer towards (from?) the BSC and RNC,
+ * i.e. in the direction towards the mobile device (MS aka UE).
+ *
+ * 2G will use the A-interface,
+ * 3G aka UMTS will use the Iu-interface (for the MSC, it's IuCS).
+ *
+ * To allow linking parts of the MSC code without having to include entire
+ * infrastructures of external libraries, the core transmitting and receiving
+ * functions are left unimplemented. For example, a unit test does not need to
+ * link against external ASN1 libraries if it is never going to encode actual
+ * outgoing messages. It is up to each building scope to implement real world
+ * functions or to plug mere dummy implementations.
+ *
+ * For example, msc_tx_dtap(conn, msg), depending on conn->via_iface, will call
+ * either iu_tx() or a_tx() [note: at time of writing, the A-interface is not
+ * yet implemented]. When you try to link against libmsc, you will find that
+ * the compiler complains about an undefined reference to iu_tx(). If you,
+ * however, link against libiu as well as the osmo-iuh libs (etc.), iu_tx() is
+ * available. A unit test may instead simply implement a dummy iu_tx() function
+ * and not link against osmo-iuh.
