inspired by accepted (but not yet merged) PR to include the
(unique_)byte_buffer_t for MAC/PHY interfacing, this patch adds
a few more useful bits to that. Buffer management for UL data is now
done in MAC and only a pointer to the data is passed in the UL action.
* Move Tx softbuffer to MAC (until UL HARQ class is ready)
* Remove temparal data member in cc_worker
* Remove memcpy after packing MAC PDU
* Added interfaces for the RLC to notify the PDCP of failure to transmit
SDU
* Limit discard timer to 1500ms, to avoid issues of lingering SDUs in the undeliverd_sdus_queue.
* Fix bug in early exit of notify_delivery and notify_failure
* fix compilation issue in rlc-pdcp notification

PDCP PDUs. This includes:
- Modifying the byte_buffer_t to include PDCP SN meta-data. This way,
the RLC can keep track of the ack'ed bytes for a specific PDCP PDU.
- Added in the RLC an `undelivered_sdu_info queue`, to keep track of the
amount of ack'ed bytes and the total size of the PDCP PDU,
so the RLC can know when delivery is finished.
- Added an interface between the PDCP and the RLC so that the RLC can
notify the PDCP when it receives an ack from the status PDUs. The RLC
passes to the PDCP a vector of all the ack'ed pdus in a rx'ed status PDU.
- Added some tests to the notify functionality. This includes some tests
where the PDUs are acked imediatly, and one test where the PDU is
retx'ed.
- multiple tunnels per E-RAB
- data forwarding between connected GTPU tunnels
- forwarding GTPU End Marker between connected tunnels
- TeNB GTPU handles in-sequence delivery when multiple tunnels for the same ERAB exist.
