Now that osmo-bsc + osmo-smlc support Location_Services, it would be great to also use that from the OsmoMSC side (currently we only test it via TTCN3 and it can be used with third-party MSCs).

• MSC would generate "PERFORM LOCATION REQUEST" to BSC
• MSC then subsequently receives "PERFORM LOCATION RESPONSE" from BSC

The simplest type of interface would be some kind of VTY command to trigger the request, and then print the response either on the VTY or even only in the log. In that first/initial implementation, it should also be sufficient to constrain its use to subscribers with active SCCP connection (no need to specifically create a SCCP connection just for LCS).

An optional, more advanced use case would be to have a programmatic interface (e.g. via CTRL) how external applications could request location requests and get the response.
