PCU: introduce f_shutdown() to ensure proper tear down
Most of existing test cases are built on top of the PCU interface
abstraction components (see PCUIF_Components.ttcn). This means
that during the test case execution, additional components are
running in parallel, among with the MTC (Main Test Component).
When a test case terminates, either normally or due to an error,
it may happen that the virtual BTS component is stopped before
the associated TDMA clock generator. In this situation, sending
a clock indication towards the stopped BTS component would
lead to a dynamic test case error.
Let's take the process of tear down under control, and ensure that
the clock generator is stopped first. To achieve that, every test
case needs to call f_shutdown() in case of an error, as well as
in case of the normal termination.
Note we cannot use the existing f_shutdown() from Misc_Helpers,
because doing 'all component.stop' does not gurantee that the
clock generator is stopped first, and I experienced at least
one DTE while trying to integrate it.
