fsm: Allow millisecond granularity in osmo_fsm built-in timer

So far, the public API of osmo_fsm only allowed integral seconds as
timeout.  Let's change that to milli-seconds in order to cover more
use cases.

This introduces
* osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg_ms()
* osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg_keep_or_start_timer_ms()

Which both work exactly like their previous counterparts without the _ms
suffix - the only difference being that the timeout parameter is
specified in milli-seconds, not in seconds.

The value range for an unsigned long in milli-seconds even on a 32bit
platform extends to about 48 days.

This patch also removes the documentation notice about limiting the
maximum value to 0x7fffffff due to time_t signed-ness.  We don't use
time_t but unsigned long.

libosmocore - set of Osmocom core libraries

This repository contains a set of C-language libraries that form the core infrastructure of many Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications projects.

Historically, a lot of this code was developed as part of the OpenBSC project, but which are of a more generic nature and thus useful to (at least) other programs that we develop in the sphere of Free Software / Open Source mobile communications.

There is no clear scope of it. We simply move all shared code between the various Osmocom projects in this library to avoid code duplication.

The libosmcoore.git repository build multiple libraries:

  • libosmocore contains some general-purpose functions like select-loop abstraction, message buffers, timers, linked lists
  • libosmovty contains routines related to the interactive command-line interface called VTY
  • libosmogsm contains definitions and helper code related to GSM protocols
  • libosmoctrl contains a shared implementation of the Osmocom control interface
  • libosmogb contains an implementation of the Gb interface with its NS/BSSGP protocols
  • libosmocodec contains an implementation of GSM voice codecs
  • libosmocoding contains an implementation of GSM channel coding
  • libosmosim contains infrastructure to interface SIM/UICC/USIM cards
  • libosmotrau contains encoding/decoding functions for A-bis TRAU frames
