This commit completes the PUCCH Format 1 decoder implementation using
maximum-likelihood detection with RE averaging across symbols/RB (and
hop-wise averaging for intra-slot hopping). It also updates the PUCCH
simulation/test flow to align with the decoder changes, including
payload and logging consistency fixes needed for correct validation.

Remove unused function arguments
Some of them, because there are hundreds if not thousands. Warnings at compilation time can be enabled using -Wunused-parameter.
Fix dB_fixed() function
- dB_fixed(0) returns 0 in develop branch;
- 0 in dB is -INF, but since we're dealing with integer variables, we'll put
20*log10(2^-15) in the output of dB_fixed() function, instead of 0.
- make all users use signed variables
fix: issue 911 - OAI gNB hangs when AMF connection goes down
Once the AMF is down, based on the AMF UE NGAP ID and RAN UE NGAP ID,
the UE associated with the AMF is found
All the contexts related to the UE are released and the timer is started
in the NGAP to look up for the SCTP association. The AMF-gNB reconnection
is made if an SCTP connection is found, also the registration of multiple
UE is triggered
These actions are based on the reference from 4.2.6 AN release Specs
TS 123 502 V16.7.0 (2021-01)
When the NG-AP signalling connection is lost due to (R)AN or AMF failure,
the AN release is performed locally by the AMF or the (R)AN as described
in the procedure flow below without using or relying on any of the signalling
shown between (R)AN and AMF. The AN release causes all UP connections of the UE
to be deactivated.

Integrate NRPPA and NGAP messages required for positioning
This MR integrates NRPPA and NGAP messages required for positioning.
The following NGAP messages are integrated (3GPP 38.413 Version 16.0.0):
NGAP UPLINK UE ASSOCIATED NRPPA TRANSPORT
NGAP UPLINK NON UE ASSOCIATED NRPPA TRANSPORT
NGAP DOWNLINK UE ASSOCIATED NRPPA TRANSPORT
NGAP DOWNLINK NON UE ASSOCIATED NRPPA TRANSPORT
The following NRPPA messages are integrated (3GPP 38.455 Version 16.7.1):
TRP Information Request
TRP Information Response
Positioning Information Request
Positioning Information Response
Positioning activation request
Positioning Activation Response
Measurement Request
Measurement Response
This MR tests these messages via a standalone tester nr-cu-nrppa-test that
connects to the AMF to perform NGAP enc/dec and NRPPA enc/dec

This extends the functionality provided by record in that it allows
collection of data into a Clickhouse database, allowing aggregation of
data from gNB and UE for functions like channel estimation for PUSCH
transmissions that did not decode successfully at the gNB.
It is intended to be used in conjunction with Aerial Data Lake but is
not limited to it. Data access is simpler than in !3462, but could be
improved using the metadata approach from !3462.
The integration uses logfmt for fast logging, and a clickhouse DB
client, both integrated using CPM.
This change set also adds a docker-compose file for a UE on 100MHz, to
be used with Aerial configurations, and builds the tracer for Aerial and
nrUE docker files.
- Extended fix to support multiple UEs instead of single UE
- Actions now trigger upon AMF reconnection
Per 3GPP TS 123 502 V16.7.0 (2021-01) Section 4.2.6 (AN Release):
When NG-AP signalling connection is lost due to (R)AN or AMF failure,
AN release is performed locally by AMF or (R)AN without relying on
signalling between (R)AN and AMF. This deactivates all UP connections.
Remove Ubuntu 20 and RHEL/Rocky 8 support, increase cmake min version
Ubuntu 20 is EOL [1]. This was the version with the lowest CMake version, so
we can increment the minimum CMake version to 3.19 as well. Increasing the
minimum version will in particular help with the integration of CUDA (updates
in 3.17 and 3.18), the current 3.19 brings better support for apple silicon.
Some minor CMake updates (removing superfluous files and dependencies).

UE: Fix if target cell during handover has SSB at a different offset as in source cell
These changes fixed these observed issues:
- If target cell has a different SSB position compared to source cell during
ho - sync was not successful.
- RAR does not get decoded if SSB position has changed on the target cell
compared to source cell.
0 in dB is -INF, but since we're dealing with integer variables, we'll put 10*log10(2^-30) in the output, which corresponds to the symmetrical maximum output of the function.
without this fix, after sync is successful, RAR is not getting decoded.
PDCCH area also changes as SSB offset can change. if MAC configuration changes.
Actual problem is that SYNC does not happen on the target cell as frame parameters is not updated
and ssb start carrier is not correct in the UE frame parameters
function nr_get_ssb_start_sc to determine ssb_start_subcarrier
Ubuntu 20 is EOL [1] unless people pay for support. Therefore, remove it
from build_helper. People can still use it, but might need to install a
more recent cmake version (which the next commit will upgrade). The rest
should be the same.
