HO: introduce ho decision callbacks
Instead of reacting on S_LCHAN* signals in the handover decision code,
introduce callbacks for the handover decision to be invoked by handover_logic.c
at the appropriate time.
The rationale is explained in a comment to struct handover_decision_callbacks,
quoting:
"
All events that are interesting for handover decision are actually communicated
by S_LCHAN_* signals, so theoretically, each handover algorithm could evaluate
those. However, handover_logic.c cleans up handover operation state upon
receiving some of these signals. To allow a handover decision algorithm to take
advantage of e.g. the struct bsc_handover before it is discarded, the handover
decision event handler needs to be invoked before handover_logic.c discards the
state. For example, if the handover decision wants to place a penalty timer
upon a handover failure, it still needs to know which target cell the handover
failed for; handover_logic.c erases that knowledge on handover failure, since
it needs to clean up the lchan's handover state.
The most explicit and safest way to ensure the correct order of event handling
is to invoke the handover decision algorithm's actions from handover_logic.c
itself, before cleaning up. This struct provides the callback functions for
this purpose.
For consistency, also handle signals in this way that aren't actually in danger
of interference from handover_logic.c (which also saves repeated lookup of
handover state for lchans). Thus, handover decision algorithms should not
register any signal handler at all.
"
Also:
- Publish struct bsc_handover to use it as argument to above callbacks.
- Add enum hodec_id to struct bsc_handover, to be able to signal the
appropriate hodec algorithm per event.
- Add hodec_id argument to bsc_handover_start*() to be placed in the
bsc_handover struct.
- Publish the LOGPHO logging macros in handover.h along with struct
bsc_handover, convenient for logging in callback implementations.
Replace handover_decision.c's signal handler with a registered
handover_decision_callbacks instance.
(Upcoming handover_decision_2 will use all of the callbacks introduced here.)
