As Max confirmed they're auto-generated, indeed it should be best to use
python to generate them during build.  I don't mind a build dependency
on python.  We cannot affor a runtime dependency on it, but that's not
the question here.

The problems with legacy namespace pollution ;)  The general rule is
'anything we add should have an osmo_ prefix'.  In some cases we might
deviate from this, e.g. if we simply add a function to an existing part
of the code.  We don't have any gsm0503_ prefixed symbols so far, so I'm
more in favor of the 'general rule'.  But I don't have strong feelings
about it, so let's probably keep it that way.

that's correct, so let's remove the prefix to avoid overly long lines.
