Change subject: RES IND: pick lchan with least interference
......................................................................

RES IND: pick lchan with least interference

In lchan_select, do not return on the first available lchan, but iterate
through all available lchans. Among those that would match, pick the one
with the lowest interference level as indicated by earlier RES IND.

Lchans that have no interference ratings are picked last.

This feature is off by default, enable per BTS with

 network
  bts N
   channel allocator avoid-interference 1

osmo-bsc still does the same ascending/descending lchan allocation as
before this patch with the default setting of:

   channel allocator avoid-interference 0
