Guido Casati f19b44639d Paging (MAC): schedule PCCH in DL path at PF/PO
At each DL slot, schedule_nr_pcch() scans pcch_queue for records whose
UE paging occasion matches (frame, slot), encodes one PCCH-Message via
do_NR_Paging(), and fills P-RNTI PDCCH/PDSCH NFAPI PDUs.

Paging occasion detection is now owned by MAC via PCCH scheduler
helper that implements PF/PO computation per TS 38.304
§7. Computation is determined by defaultPagingCycle (T),
nAndPagingFrameOffset (N), ns (Ns), with PF formula
(SFN + PF_offset) mod T = (T div N) * (UE_ID mod N),
and PO slot mapping for Ns = 1/2/4. Paging is transmitted only
when (frame, slot) is the UE's paging occasion
(TS 38.304 §7.1) and when a Type2-PDCCH CSS is configured via
pagingSearchSpace, so the UE can receive it.

The RRC PCCH path is simplified accordingly.

Changes

In `openair2/LAYER2/NR_MAC_gNB/gNB_scheduler_pcch.c`:
- Add paging-specific scheduling logic, including `is_paging_occasion()`,
  paging-search-space resolution, and `nr_fill_nfapi_dl_PCCH_pdu()`
- Add `schedule_nr_pcch()` implementation to allocate CCE/PDSCH
  resources, populate DL/TX NFAPI requests, encode at PO via do_NR_Paging()

In gNB scheduler:
- Invoke `schedule_nr_pcch()` in SA-mode DL scheduling

In `openair2/LAYER2/NR_MAC_COMMON/nr_mac_common.c`:
- Add PCCH scheduling helpers to be reused at UE side

Also:
- Remove no longer relevant `rrc_gNB_generate_pcch_msg()` from `rrc_gNB.c`
