QoS Handling: implement intelligent QoS-to-DRB mapping based on 3GPP TS 23.501

Implement QoS flow multiplexing logic that optimizes DRB usage by classifying
5QI values per 3GPP TS 23.501 Table 5.7.4-1 and applying resource-type-aware
multiplexing limits. The changes are adopted in nr_rrc_add_bearers, which
is the RRC function responsible for adding PDU Sessions and DRBs in RRC.

Key features:
- Classify 5QI by resource type (DC-GBR, GBR, Non-GBR)
- Reuse existing DRBs when QoS characteristics are compatible
- Dedicated DRBs for DC-GBR (5QI 82-90) and high-priority services
- Per-type multiplexing limits: DC-GBR=1, GBR=2, Non-GBR=5
- Aggregate cap: max 5 flows per DRB

Implementation:
- nr_rrc_get_5qi_resource_type():
  Maps 5QI values to resource types using lookup table.
  DC-GBR: 5QI 82-90, GBR: 5QI 1-4,65-67,71-76, Non-GBR: 5QI 5-11,69-70,79-80.
  Unknown 5QIs default to Non-GBR with warning.

- nr_rrc_qos_dedicated_drb():
  Identifies 5QIs requiring isolated DRBs (high priority, low-PER).
  Includes: DC-GBR: 5QI 82-90, 5QI 4,6-10 (video), 5QI 70 (mission-critical),
  5QI 71-73 (live streaming), 5QI 80 (low-latency).

- nr_rrc_count_qos_flows_by_type():
  Counts QoS flows mapped to a specific DRB, grouped by resource type.
  Used to check capacity and enforce multiplexing limits.

- nr_rrc_find_suitable_drb_for_qos():
  Searches existing DRBs in the same PDU session for available capacity.
  Checks resource type compatibility, per-type limits, and aggregate cap.
  Returns DRB ID if suitable, -1 if new DRB needed.
  DC-GBR flows always return -1 (require dedicated DRB).

- nr_rrc_assign_drb_to_qos_flow(), which either reuses a DRB
  selected by nr_rrc_find_suitable_drb_for_qos() or creates a new DRB via
  nr_rrc_add_drb, assigns its ID to the QoS flow

Note: this commit is multi-QoS ready.
