paging: pass struct osmo_mobile_identity, not encoded IE bytes
In get_paging_mi(), before this, an encoded buffer of Mobile Identity bytes is
returned. Code paths following this repeatedly decode the Mobile Identity
bytes, e.g. for logging. Also, in get_paging_mi(), since the TMSI is read in
from a different encoding than a typical Mobile Identity IE, the TMSI was
manually encoded into a typical Mobile Identity IE. This is essentially a code
dup of osmo_mobile_identity_encode(). Stop this madness.
Instead, in get_paging_mi(), return a decoded struct osmo_mobile_identity. Code
paths after this use the struct osmo_mobile_identity directly without repeated
decoding.
At the point of finally needing an encoded Mobile Identity IE (in
Encoding::write_paging_request()), do a proper osmo_mobile_identity_encode().
Since this may return errors, add an rc check for the caller of
write_paging_request(), gprs_rlcmac_paging_request().
A side effect is stricter validation of the Mobile Identity passing through the
Paging code path. Before, invalid MI might have passed through unnoticed.
