handover: apply meas report BS Power to RXLEV, fix ho oscillation

This fixes handover oscillation in the presence of power reduction on
the downlink: apply the reduced power to the cell's RXLEV in order to
not rate the current cell as weaker than it actually is.

 # FAIL: there should be no handover, because the bspower reduction of 20 with an rxlev of 20 (= 40) is stronger than the
 # neighbor at 30. But since osmo-bsc fails to take the BS Power into account, it hands over to the neighbor.
