* Make PHY non-blocking and fefactor HO procedure
* makes entire PHY non-blocking through command interface
* adds dedicated queue for cell_search/cell_select commands
* refactor HO procedure to run faster, in one stack cycle. Looks closer to the specs
* force ue to always apply SIB2 configuration during reestablishment
* Run update_measurements in all workers

this rather large patch changes the way cells are handled in the SS.
It moves RLC and PDCP entities to the cell map of the SS, such that each cell
has its own entities. This allows to support HO operation, for example,
in which two cells need to send SRB messages.
It also extends most of the syssim interface to include the cell name
in all commands so they can be applied on the specified cell only.
before the BSR was extracted but the actual index (between 0 and 63)
was not stored but directly converted into bytes.
for log parsing and debugging it is easier to follow the index
value. this patch therefore adds both values to the log message
and extends the API accordingly.
this patch refactors the SDU queuing and dropping policy of the RLC and PDCP layer.
the previous design had issues when packets have been generated at a higher
rate above the PDCP than they could be consumed below the RLC.
When the RLC SDU queues were full, we allowed two policies, one to block on the write
and the other to drop the SDU. Both options are not ideal because they either
lead to a blocking stack thread or to lost PDCP PDUs.
To avoid this, this patch makes the following changes:
* PDCP monitors RLC's SDU queue and drops packets on its north-bound SAP if queues are full
* a new method sdu_queue_is_full() has been added to the RLC interface for PDCP
* remove blocking write from pdcp and rlc write_sdu() interface
* all writes into queues need to be non-blocking
* if Tx queues are overflowing, SDUs are dropped above PDCP, not RLC
* log warning if RLC still needs to drop SDUs
* this case should be avoided with the monitoring mechanism
reducing the sync queue len to 1 caused an issue when the
PHY was locking the mutex while trying to push a TTI event
on the stack.
instead of signaling the new TTI within the PHY, we now do it outside
in the DUT (after releasing the PHY mutex)
apply same change that we've done on the eNB also on the UE
to avoid the PHY processing TTIs faster than the stack.
Without that, we see lots of those in the logs:
...
08:39:17.580325 [STCK] [W] Detected slow task processing (sync_queue_len=7).
...
unfortunately, the rapidjson version shipped with Ubuntu 16.04
doesn't support the GetArray() API so we need to use
normal iterator to loop over the array
extend GW-NAS interface to signal test mode activation.
The method is a noop in the normal GW but is implemented in
the TTCN3 DUT according to TS 36.509 for Mode B
