* num_SI is the size of the list of gNB-CU System Information messages
* the new struct member is an array, sized after the maximum nb
of SIB types, which contains the SI container, the container length
and the SIB type
In the DU, read slice information from the DU config file. Handle
multiple slices within the F1 Setup Request structure representation,
and forward it via F1 to CU. The DU slice information is stored in the
setup request structure.
RRC Version is a required IE. Hence, implement the encoder and decoder
for this message. At the DU and CU, read the RRC Version we use and fill
the corresponding field.

To allow to send F1 messages to multiple DUs from the CU, we need to
send these messages via different assoc_id (SCTP association ID,
basically akin to a file descriptor). Currently, the assoc_id is stored
in a context at the F1 module and retrieved in
f1ap_itti_send_sctp_data_req().
To facilitate a later change towards indicating (from the RRC) to which
assoc_id (hence, DU) to send a message, we refactor all
CU_send_*()/DU_send_*() functions to take the assoc_id as a parameter to
which to send messages. In this commit, we then pass the assoc_id from
the context. A later commit changes this (at the CU) to pass the
assoc_id from the message to be sent.
Instead of storing the F1 Setup Request implicitly in F1 context, we
provide the F1 Setup Request message to be encoded explicitly to the
encoding function.
Previously, in f1ap_decoder.c, we asserted if we did not know a message.
Apart form decoding, we did not do anything in that file.
Additionally, in f1ap_handlers.c, we were also checking for an unknown
message, and printing a warning if a handler is not known.
This commit moves the F1AP message decoding to f1ap_handlers.c, and
deletes f1ap_decoder.c. In summary, we don't assert on an unknown
message, and compile less files. The rest is unchanged.
-Required for interoperability with Accelleran CU and OAI CN
-Currently hardcoded values, to be modified so that they are parsed from the DU config file
-After this modification Accelleran CU sends gNBCU configuration update
