Large RAN installations may benefit from distributing the RTP voice
stream load over multiple media gateways.
libosmo-mgcp-client supports MGW pooling since version 1.8.0 (more than
one year ago). OsmoBSC has already been making use of it since then (see
osmo-bsc.git 8d22e6870637ed6d392a8a77aeaebc51b23a8a50); lets use this
feature in osmo-hngw too.
This commit is also part of a series of patches cleaning up
libosmo-mgcp-client and slowly getting rid of the old non-mgw-pooled VTY
configuration, in order to keep only 1 way to configure
libosmo-mgcp-client through VTY.

ranap_rab_ass_req_encode() forms a msgb, then copies the data to a
buffer provided by the caller. Instead, just return the msgb. This
removes one unnecessary memcpy() and simplifies some code.
In ranap_rab_ass_test.c, actually ensure the correct size of the
returned data. See also the fix of expected test data in patch

The RANAP RAB AssignmentRequest and AssignmentResponse contains the
IP-Address and the IP-Port for the RTP voice stream. In the comming MGCP
implementation we will have to extract and replace this information.
Lets add functions that do that in a convinient way.
