nitb: Add a mode to not use TMSI for normal operation
In case foreign simcards are used we can not do authentication
and ciphering. In case a TMSI is re-used too early and we do
page using TMSI we can't know which of the two MS is responding
to us. We could change the "secure channel" routine to ask for
the IMSI and only then stop the paging.
As we don't have ciphering there is not much use in using the
TMSI. Add a mode "no assign-tmsi" that will not assign the TMSI
during LU. Now CM Service Request and Paging Response will
work using the IMSI. There can't be a clash with that.
[ciaby fixed the vty write to use the right name]
