do not force encryption on UTRAN
Remove the conditions that always enable encryption on UTRAN.
We so far lack an explicit configuration for UTRAN encryption, and this patch
does not add any either. Instead, whether UTRAN encryption is enabled is simply
triggered on whether GERAN has A5 encryption enabled (A5/n with n > 0). Though
GERAN and UTRAN encryption are not technically related at all, this makes UTRAN
behave like GERAN for now, until we implement a proper separate configuration
for UTRAN encryption.
Adjust the msc_vlr_test_* configuration by setting the net->a5_encryption_mask
such that the expected output remains unchanged. A subsequent patch
(I54227f1f08c38c0bf69b9c48924669c4829b04b9) will add more tests, particularly
cases of UTRAN without encryption.
Adjust manual and vty doc.
