The timer code used to trigger periodic statistics message sending used
ITTI. Together with a high frequency reporting (e.g. 1ms), this resulted
in high CPU usage. This commit reimplements this:
* using a thread that is synchronized to the RU (if there is no MAC, we
assume there is no RU generating a tick so we create the tick source
ourselves)
* no RB trees but plain arrays
* smaller interface for users
* slight user interface changes
* remove stopped timer state: such timer might be simply removed
* remove one-shot timers
-New MAC SDU integrity check in ue_procedures .c introduced for MCH channels.
-This SDU behavior didn’t show up with former develop
-TOCHECK whether NFAPI was properly merged on the eNB side.
-eNB_scheduler_mch has been slightly rearranged.
*BUGFIX:
-In dlsch_demodulation.c “ rxF_comp_d.m” was continuously being written to disk
*New reference config file added (lte-fdd-mbms-basic-sim.conf) for rfsim environment
M3AP ASN1 source spec updated

- Initial gNB DLSCH and UE spec scheduling implentation
- MAC PDU generation (including header as per TS 38.321)
- MAC PDU processing at UE side with extracion of TA updates
- General code cleanup
- Introduced NR MAC COMMON folder, moved common files here
In TDD mode, CQI requests are not possible in special subframes (at
least for some TDD configurations, see 36.213 7.2.3 that says "a
DL subframe is valid if it does not contain a DwPTS field if the
length is less than 7680 Ts").
In the code, we simply disable CQI requests in special subframes,
no matter what the length of DwPTS.
A problem can arise if the DCI0 for a given UE are sent only in
those special subframes. In this case the UE will never report
CQI and the eNB will use low MCS for this UE, impacting performances.
Another, related, problem is when there are several UEs. There again
one UE might always get its DCI0 in special subframes and thus never
report CQI. There again, performance issues.
This commit is an attempt to improve the situation.
It does two things.
1 - tag the UE as schedulable in the function UE_is_to_be_scheduled
if the cqi_req_timer is expired
2 - use cqi_req_timer as a criterium when ordering UEs for UL scheduling
The value chosen for the expiration of the cqi_req_timer in
UE_is_to_be_scheduled is quite high (300) because as the code is
today we may overschedule the UE for short bursts until we receive
a CQI from the UE. [TODO: fix the code properly to avoid this behavior.]
Note: the fairRR scheduler has not been analyzed and this commit may
not fix anything in case the fairRR scheduler is used.

-MBMS scheduler developed (oneFrame allocations implemented at this time)
-UE DSLCH schedulers updated: if an eMBMS session running UE DTCH, DCCH will be only scheduled at non MBSFN sufbframes
-eMBMS L2 procedures implemented
-Dedicated MBMS PDCP pipes src/sink enabled (only for TUN)
-BUGFIX eMBMS MAC procedures (wrong indexing at few loops)
-ENB FAPI updated to enable dynamic MBSFN configurations through M2AP (RRC<->MCE)
