This patch adds support to set up a CBSP link so that osmo-cbc connects
as a TCP client to the BSC, which runs as a TCP server.
Similary, support to set up a SBc-AP link so that osmo-cbc connects
as a SCTP client to the MME, which runs as SCTP server.
A new "mode (client|server|disabled)" VTY command is added to use one
mother or the other, and also to disable the link and hence the peer
until it is set again. This is useful if the peer is under manintenance
for instance.
client sockets are created automatically when the "peer" vty node is
exited if the link is not yet created, hence creating it at startup or
if moved back from "disabled" mode. If client socket dies, it will
keep attempting reconnect every 5 seconds.

This will be needed when we add client support, since clients will
require the mgr structs to be available during VTY parsing.

Delay allocating the structures until really needed.
First do checks agains the opened connection, and if an issue is
detected simply close the fd.
Next, fetch or allocate the related peer.
Finally, create the link from the fd.
This makes it easier to add early extra checks later when peers will
contain info on link_mode (client|server|disabled) later on.

* link -> srv_link to avoid confusing with cbsp/sbcap links
* clients -> links, since it holds links, which in the future will be
both TCP/SCTP clients and servers.
