Harald Welte aa5fda4f46 Re-introduce support for IPA-encapsulated MGCP
Old osmo-bsc-sccplite already supported this, but in the migration
over to libosmo-sigtran and to real 3GPP AoIP, this functionality
got lost.

We now crate a UDP proxy socket. Any MGCP commands received via IPA
from MSC (or rather: bsc_nat) are retransmitted to the MGW via UDP on
this socket.  Any responses back from the MGW received on the UDP
socket are retransmitted back to MSC/bsc_nat as MGCP inside the IPA
multiplex.

Closes: OS#2536

About OsmoBSC
=============

OsmoBSC originated from the OpenBSC project, which started as a minimalistic
all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OpenBSC had reached
maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and 3G support in the form of
IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead to a separation of the all-in-one
approach to fully independent separate programs as in typical GSM networks.

OsmoBSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. Before, it
worked as a standalone osmo-bsc binary as well as a combination of libbsc and
libmsc, i.e. the old OsmoNITB. Since the standalone OsmoMSC with a true A
interface (and IuCS for 3G support) is available, OsmoBSC exists only as a
separate standalone entity.

OsmoBSC exposes
- A over IP towards an MSC (e.g. OsmoMSC);
- Abis interfaces towards various kinds of BTS;
- The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.
