* give the correct UE_id instead an index of the protobuf message (they can
  diverge from each other)
* in the PDCP part of the RAN API, the RAN API has to make the conversion UE_id
  (MAC) to UID (PDCP)
* a follow up commit could clean up the interfaces:
  - the MAC functions take the UE_id
  - the RRC functions take the RNTI
  - the PDCP functions take the UID
  this would mean the caller has to find those ID but would decrease
  computations since the RAN API functions do not have to do that themselves
