This commit implements reestablishment during handover when occurring at
the source DU, either as a handover Failure or "normal" reestablishment
(something else went wrong). In this case, the CU will trigger HO
cancel, which in F1, means to cancel on the target DU. Also, undo any
previous ID changes. Retain the old CellGroupConfig (before handover)
for the case of reestablishment at source. If not needed, it is freed
after the reconfiguration complete.
Reestablishment on target cell during handover cannot be handled by the
gNB (yet). It is the same as with a normal reestablishment (not during
handover) on a different cell: that cell has no notion of the old UE, so
we cannot simply indicate the old UE to reestablish; at least, we would
need to cleanup the CellGroupConfig, and I am not sure this works out of
the box, either.
After handover, the last CellGroupConfig received is the one for
handover, containing a reconfigurationWithSync. Resending this
CellGroupConfig to the UE after reestablishment would trigger a
handover. Free the reconfigurationWithSync to have the UE complete
reestablishment at the current cell.
The CU implementation of reestablishment modifies the CellGroupConfig.
It should not do this, but does as of now. The specification (38.473 Sec
8.7) foresees an optional F1 UE context modification procedure (which
can be used to receive the CellGroupConfig). This should be done instead
to retrieve the correct CellGroupConfig.
Note that the F1 UE context setup procedure, similar to the UE context
modification procedure, would also allow to perform reestablishment on a
DU that is not the original one.
If we release a request from a DU during, handle as follows:
- from the source: Handover is still ongoing, so ignore it by
acknowledging the release, and marking handover as done. In this case,
we did not receive an acknowledgement from the target, but since the
source DU does not keep the UE context, we could not cancel the
handover anymore either. The UE might come back on any DU through
reestablishment (or simply be connected on the target)
- from the target: consider this to be a genuine release, and forward to
AMF.

The HO is completed (from a pure RAN perspective) when receiving
reconfiguration complete. In that case, remove the HO context, and
signal successful handover through the callback. For the F1 handover,
this means releasing the UE at the source DU.

We expect the UE's RRC Reconfiguration Complete to come through the
target DU, as the "new UE" at the target CU. Also, function
CU_handle_UL_RRC_MESSAGE_TRANSFER() checks that the UL RRC Message,
through which we will receive RRC Reconfiguration Complete, matches the
DU UE ID stored in RRC. Since the DU UE ID will be the one at the target
DU, while up to now, we stored the DU UE ID at the source DU.
Correspondingly, update the DU UE ID to the one at the target DU; also
update the corresponding assoc_id.

In this commit, handle the reception of a UE context setup response, in
the case of handover. In that case, store the gNB-DU UE ID and C-RNTI of
the UE at the target DU, and trigger a reconfiguration towards the UE at
the source DU via the callback.
To ensure that the CU-UP's PDCP is SN-aligned with the UE, use
cuup_notify_reestablishment() to reset the bearers with PDCP
reestablishment, which has already been implemented in the last commit.

This is preparatory work to handle the UE context setup response from
the target DU. There are two cases:
- "Initial" UE context setup response (during connection setup): we need
to inform the CU-UP via an E1 message of the new bearers (GTP tunnel
update)
- F1 handover: we need to inform the CU-UP via an E1 message that there
are DRBs to reestablish
There are two different functions, e1_send_bearer_updates() and
cuup_notify_reestablishment(), to do this. Harmonize the code, before
implementing the actual handover logic in the next commit.
Add a function to trigger an F1 handover, including the corresponding
telnet function implementation. The function looks up source&target DU,
creates a HO context, and reads PDU information to send a UE context
setup request to the target DU towards which to handover.

Functions get_qos_char_from_qos_flow_param() and
get_qos_characteristics() will be used in rrc_gNB_mobility.c to read PDU
information for handover. Move the definitions to a header to reuse
later.
HandoverPreparationInformation will be used in the follow-up commit to
trigger a handover.

This F1 message sends us the CellGroupConfig of the UE. Store it in case
we need it. For instance, at least in OAI, it is possible to make a
handover without a DRB (this might or might not be standard compliant).
However, in this case, we did never receive a UE context setup request,
which stores the CellGroupConfig. Hence, store the first CellGroupConfig
we receive, to be able to do e.g., handover.
RETURN_IF_INVALID_ASSOC_ID() checks if an assoc_id (of a DU) is valid.
It will be also used in the mobility RRC module later. Move it to the DU
header (where it logically belongs) to move it from there.
Prior to this commit, after RA failure, the DU would send a UE context
release complete, without actually requesting one. This could lead to
inconsistent state between DU and CU, because the CU might just discard
this (unrequested) message, and not actually trigger a release [1].
Thus, refactor the release request into a function, and use it to
request release of a UE for which RA has not been completed. If the CU
does not know the UE, release the UE immediately.
[1] One possibility would be that during reestablishment, the CU would
request to look up an old DU UE ID when it has been released, resulting
in
Assertion (oldUE) failed!
In dl_rrc_message_transfer() /home/oaicicd/robert/openairinterface5g/openair2/LAYER2/NR_MAC_gNB/mac_rrc_dl_handler.c:860
CU claims we should know UE bc7f, but we don't
In handover, we might need to remove a UE that we knew under it's
C-RNTI, for which we also have the RA process. Hence, when removing a UE
by RNTI, remove it also from RA.
After RA, in the case of HO, we need to make sure to use the right radio
configuration (MCS table, etc). This commit is important to make HO
actually work.
Our initial CellGroupConfig always contains LCID1, because in normal
connection setup, the DU has to automatically set it up anyway. In
handover/UE Context Setup, the CU requests to set up SRB1 (which we
assume to be LCID1), but we reuse the initial CellGroupConfig. To not
have SRB1 added twice, skip in this case.
This commit implements adding a new UE on the target DU in case of
handover. We identify this case by the fact that the gNB-CU did not send
a gNB-DU UE ID (which is optional in F1AP, but not in our
implementation), such that we know there is no corresponding UE, which
therefore has to be created.
If it happens that there is a handover preparation information, we read
the UE capabilities from this information, and subsequently trigger the
creation of a new UE.
Another change is that for all bearers that we are asked to setup, we
add reestablishRLC so that the UE does a reestablishment during the
reconfiguration.
As we have to remove the reconfigurationWithSync and reestablishRLC IE
after application of the CellGroupConfig (because we might reuse the
CellGroupConfig later), free these IEs. As there are now multiple fields
to free, introduce a separate nr_mac_clean_cellgroup() function that
handles cleaning of the CellGroupConfig.

The next commit will modify the UE context setup request procedure to
(possibly) receive UE capabilities through Handover Preparation
Information, which extracts the UE capabilities for the UE to be setup.
To avoid code duplication, extract the code that will be needed in UE
capability extraction from Handover Preparation Information.
Implement the Transmission Action Indicator F1AP forwarding logic, and
add it to the F1 internal representation structure. After the
transmission interrupt timer (during which SRB1 can send messages), the
UE will be out-of-sync (we assume it's not there anymore).

Refactor the RRC processing timer to be a generic "transmission
interrupt" timer, and use NR_timer_t for it. Also,
depending on the kind of RRC processing (see 38.331 table 12.1-1),
timing requirements might be different. However, the DU does not always
know which RRC processing is ongoing, and does not get this information
via F1. Hence, introduce a "worst case" delay time, which aligns with
the spec (it says these times are "minima") and is accepted by COTS UE.
The gNB MAC might need to stop transmission either for some time (RRC
processing), or continuously (transmission stop requested by CU). Those
can be handled in one common timer implementation. The continuous case
will be used in a follow-up commit.

CI: remove unused code, clean up imports
* Remove pyshark, matplotlib imports, as they are not used
* Remove stats_monitor.py, as the CI does not use it
* Clean up many warnings shown by pyflakes regarding includes that we don't use
pyflakes warns about various errors, addressed here. For cls_cluster.py,
remove (unknown) sys.exit and replace through Exception, as sys.exit()
has the unwanted effect that the CI script would stop. Instead, raise
an Exception that would show the problem in the HTML, and ensures that
the script runs until the end.
These are the warnings flagged by pyflakes.

Currently, sD has not been allocated, so the octet string is empty. Fix the
allocation to correctly write&read NSSAIs in UE context setup/modification
request messages.
When running, nr_psbchsim, we get this UBsan error:
openair1/PHY/NR_UE_ESTIMATION/nr_adjust_synch_ue.c:79:16: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x0ff4278c791c for type 'struct nrUE_params_t', which requires 8 byte alignment
The problem is that the corresponding definition of
get_nrUE_params() in psbchsim.c does not actually return the UE params,
but void, so we might or might not get something that resembles valid
data in nr_adjust_synch_ue.c. Fix this by including nr-uesoftmodem.h
(that provides the correct declaration) and define it correctly. Due to
type mismatches, also adapt downlink_frequency, uplink_frequency_offset,
and openair_cfg (which might result in the same type of bugs).
This adds DTX detection in PUCCH 2 receiver. This is detected by MAC
already which will drop PUCCH 2 indications that are detected as DTX.
For the moment this uses the same pucch0_dtx_threshold value indicated
in L1 section of the configuration file. The feature firstly reduces
unnecessary logging on stdout and the use of invalid CSI measurements in
the MAC scheduler.

Introduce two tests for NR RLC AM entity:
- test_nr_rlc_am_entity
- benchmark_nr_rlc_am_entity
The benchmark can be used to verify processing time improvements for NR RLC AM
entity. The benchmark creates two entities and creates an unbalanced
communication channel between them with 10% loss packet loss and 100:1 PDU sent
ratio. This allows the lists in RLC to build up and triggers RLC AM code
related to looking through the segment/pdu lists.
