Improve RA logs

Modify existing LOG entries to include preamble index, timing advance and
estimated distance from the gNB. This makes mapping RA attempts to
physical/simulated UEs easier via sent/received preamble index or physical
distance from the gNB in scenarios with >1 UE.

FHI72: FDD support

- harmonize DL/UL PRB mapping in one get_xran_prb_map() function with support
  of mixed slot and duplex mode
- do not assume TDD by default

Repair nFAPI in 5G

Add 5G nFAPI in OAI/Make it it work.

Many commits in this branch are basically bug fixes of things that don't work
properly, such as

- check for correct conditions (e.g. instance numbers in the RAN context)
- remove artificial limitation (e.g. only one PUCCH per TDD period in the PNF)
- improve performance (reduce big mallocs, make some static buffers such as a
  global ring buffer for nFAPI messages in the PNF)
- fix bugs in nFAPI (e.g., increase maximum message size to ~64kB instead of
  1500 bytes, because the latter is way too small for many TX_data.requests in
  5G, and it will delay message arrival unduly)
- fix bugs in message enc/dec (e.g., handle FDD in config.request)
- adjust the L1 such that the condition "we run monolithic" is not necessery
  (e.g., some message numbers in nFAPI struct where reset in MAC, instead of
  L1, and this breaks when running the PNF)

There are instructions that explain how to set it up. Two CI tests have been
added, one with COTS UE and MIMO in DL+UL in TDD numerology 1 (30kHz), and a
second test with FDD mu=0 (15kHZ) in RFsimulator.

These were some old to-dos that have been addressed.

- test with COTS UE - 4x4 pipeline works good in DL, UL now also work
- test in RFsim
- make PNF status message
- make FDD in u0 work

This function packs P7 messages. At least RX_data.indication messages
might be much bigger than the global buffer that is used here. Allocate
the buffer on the stack, and make it bigger. Do not use the global
buffer, it's simply not necessary; increasing the global tx buffer size
might have negative effects elsewhere in the code.

That change might make the function reentrant. The mutex seems to only
guards the codec config. However, leave it to not introduce any
regressions as of now.

E1 Setup enc/dec library and unit test

This MR is adding a library for E1 Setup enc/dec functions:

- E1 CU-UP Setup Request
- E1 CU-UP Setup Response
- E1 Setup Failure

and relevant unit tests

F1AP IDs: Add update, fix concurrency bug

I suspect a concurrency bug: For instance, during reestablishment, the
CU needs to update the DU UE ID under which the UE is identified in the
DU. Previously, the CU would remove, then add the DU UE ID info. At the
same time, the PDCP thread might look up the information. This can lead
to asserts. Modify the code to do the update under (one) lock.

Also, refactor some code.

Avoid huge calloc by alloc'ing TBs independently

Fix real-time problems on smaller machines due to big calloc(). See the
commit(s) for more details.

Modify the existing 4x4 60MHz USRP+COTS UE test to use nFAPI. The
throughput tests remain the same.

Similar to the parent commit, make the numerology in the VNF
configurable. Unlike for the PNF change, the VNF frame/slot info is in a
per-PNF connection structure to which the "oai_integration" code has no
access. So we need to hack the nfapi_vnf_p7_add_pnf() function signature
to take the numerology, to be able to save this on a per-PNF basis.

The fact that we store this on a per-PNF basis is not strictly required,
as the VNF cannot handle multiple numerologies as of now, either.
However, we might want to extend this in the future, so it seems prudent
to store this on a per-PNF basis, so that we could start handling
multiple numerologies at the L2 without the need to change the L1 or
nFAPI code itself.

Also, the numerology is not needed except for some code that deals with
timing over nFAPI. As of now, we don't use this code (nFAPI gets a
trigger every slot, as per the VNF request, see an earlier commit in
this series), but also here, let's not make the future more complicated
by storing the numerology for each PNF now (this could always be reverted).

For 4G, put numerology 0 (15kHZ SCS), which is the SCS that LTE uses.

Fill in the dynamically received numerology, and make the numerology at
the PNF configurable, following the changes in the parent commit.

The change for the reading is somewhat of a hack, because nFAPI, as of
now, does not really foresee to store the numerology, so we fill the
numerology during the start request, when the numerlogy has been
received in the config request, but at that time, the structure for the
time information (frame/slot) does not exist yet.

At both the PNF and the VNF, introduce a separate numerology field, and
pass the numerology when converting time information using macros from
nfapi_interface.h. The actually numerology is still hardcoded to 1 (as it
was before), but the follow-up commits will put a suitable numerology.

In both cases, but the numerology next to the frame/slot information.

Similarly as the parent commit(s):
- remove hardcoding to specific numerology
- avoid conversion when we don't need it

Similar as the parent comment, remove time macros. In this particular
case, we can just pass the exact frame/slot information, instead of
squeezing it in a single integer.

The next commits will modify the time macros used in the 5G nFAPI code
to handle different numerologies. As a preparation, remove all the
usages of these macros where they really don't matter (e.g., don't
convert if we don't need to).
