this patch replaces the std::vector type used in the interface between
PDCP and RLC to signal delivery status between both layers. The new
data type is a configurable but fixed-size vector.
The RLC AM doesn't need to dynamically allocate the vector for every SN but
uses the tx_window for storage.
* 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.
