fsm: add osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg_keep_or_start_timer()
During FSM design for osmo-msc, I noticed that the current behavior that keep_timer=true doesn't guarantee a running timer can make FSM design a bit complex, especially when using osmo_tdef for timeout definitions. A desirable keep_timer=true behavior is one that keeps the previous timer running, but starts a timer if no timer is running yet. The simplest example is: a given state repeatedly transitions back to itself, but wants to set a timeout only on first entering, avoiding to restart the timeout on re-entering. Another example is a repeated transition between two or more states, where the first time we enter this group a timeout should start, but it should not restart from scratch on every transition. When using osmo_tdef timeout definitions for this, so far separate meaningless states have to be introduced that merely set a fixed timeout. To simplify, add osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg_keep_or_start_timer(), and use this in osmo_tdef_fsm_inst_state_chg() when both keep_timer == true *and* T != 0. In tdef_test.ok, the changes show that on first entering state L, the previous T=1 is now kept with a large remaining timeout. When entering state L from O, where no timer was running, this time L's T123 is started. Change-Id: Id647511a4b18e0c4de0e66fb1f35dc9adb9177db
