There is an upcoming modification of structs mgcp_msg and mgcp_response.
When it is public API, it needs to be kept backwards compatible.
But no libosmo-mgcp-client caller (in the osmocom-cni world) has used
these structs in years and years. Everyone should use the higher level
osmo_mgcpc_* API only.
Move this legacy API to a private header, so we no longer need to worry
about compatibility there.

The `keepalive` feature in libosmo-mgcp-client allows scheduling periodical
queries on the MGCP layer in order to make sure it is reachable and hence
obtain information on the state of the MGCP link.
This patch only uses it to print the status on the VTY, but it will be used
too in a follow-up commit by the MGW Pool when picking an MGW from the pool:
MGWs whose link is considered to be DOWN are skipped.
The feature consists of:
- A `keepalive request-interval` which will trigger a transmission of an MGCP
AuditEndpoint command targeting endpoint with name `keepalive request-endpoint`.
This interval is updated every time any message is transmitted in the MGCP
link, meaning the MGCP AuditEndpoint message is only triggered if no message
has been transmitted since `keepalive request-interval` seconds ago.
- A `keepalive timeout` considering the MGW to be non-reachable (link DOWN) if
no message is received over that amount of time.
The `keepalive` parameters are to be preferrably configured so that
"keepalive request-interval" * 2 < "keepalive timeout".
Example VTY configuration of `keepalive` feature in libosmo-mgcp-client:
----
mgw 0
...
keepalive request-interval 20 <1>
keepalive request-endpoint null <2>
keepalive timeout 50 <3>
----
<1> Transmit an MGCP AuditEndpoint message to the MGW if no message has been
sent to it over last 10 seconds
<2> The MGCP AuditEndpoint targets the `null` endpoint. This is a special
endpoint available at OsmoMGW for those purposes, but any available
endpoint can be configured and used instead.
<3> Consider the MGCP link to be DOWN if no message is received from the
MGW over the last 50 seconds
NOTE: The `keepalive` feature is disabled by default, and must be explicitly
configured in order to enable it.

Let's properly store backpointers so that it is easy to access all
relation chain (pool<->pool_member<->mgcp_client).

At the moment the MGCP Client only supports one MGW per application.
Depending on the requirements of the application one MGW might not offer
the performance needed. Lets add support for an MGCP Client pool that is
backward compatible to existing applications.

Depending on the usecase of osmo_mpcg_client it may be helpful to send a
DLCX to certain endpoints. Usually this would be a wildcarded endpoint
that resets the entire trunk to drop lingering RTP flows which may still
present after a restart/crash, but it might be also a group of specific
endpoints. The user may specify an arbitrary amount of endpoints where
the mgcp client will send a DLCX to. It does not matter if the endpoints
are wildcarded or not.

The API and related implementation fields are not used internally nor
externally, and only support IPv4. Let's simply deprecate the API and
drop all the uneeded implementation.

Add mgcp_common.h to libosmo-mgcp-client, to not need to share a header file
with libosmo-legacy-mgcp (nor the upcoming libosmo-mgcp). Both libraries use
the enum mgcp_connection_mode (and a for-loop macro and a string mangling
function), so far declared in mgcp.h, and both mgcp-dev and mgcp-client-dev
debian packages would require this header file to be installed. So far the
mgcp-client-dev lacks this header file, which causes the osmo-msc debian
package to fail building. Ways to solve:
- If both -dev debian packages installed the same header file in the same
place, they would conflict if ever installed at the same time.
- mgcp-client-dev can depend on mgcp-dev, but it seems bad to keep such a large
dependency for just one enum and two helpers.
- Instead, this patch solves this by copying the few definitions to
libosmo-mgcp-client.
Once libosmo-mgcp-client has its own copy of those definitions, it is
fully self-contained and depending builds (osmo-msc deb) will succeed.
Copy the few actually common definitions to new header
<osmocom/mgcp_client/mgcp_common.h>. The nature of this .h is that it may be
shared with future libosmo-mgcp without causing linking problems.
Remove libosmo-legacy-mgcp/mgcp_common.c file from the build of
libosmo-mgcp-client, no longer needed.
Add to new mgcp_common.h:
- enum mgcp_connection_mode;
- for_each_non_empty_line() macro.
- mgcp_msg_terminate_nul() as static function. Its complexity is just above
your average static inline, but being inline is a way to use it in both mgcp
and mgcp_client without linking problems.
Replace for_each_line() use in mgcp_client with for_each_non_empty_line()
(for_each_non_empty_line() replaces for_each_line() and uses strtok_r() instead
of a local reinvention).
mgcp_connection_mode_strs are actually only used in libosmo-mgcp-client, so
rename to mgcp_client_ prefix and move to mgcp_client.c.
BTW, the future plan for upcoming libosmo-mgcp is to use the identical header
file, and keep only one copy in the git source tree. The second copy may be
generated during 'make', to avoid code dup while having two distinct headers.

The name "mgcpgw_client" referred to an MGCP gateway, which is rather an MGW
(Media Gateway). But this client code is more generally a client for the MGCP
protocol, independently from what the server program is called.
Rename the files as well as the function prefixes to drop the "gw". It is
purely cosmetic and not strictly necessary, but a good point in time for fixes
like this.
osmo-msc build will be adjusted by I093ad02ca0e532f659447c785e09678b3e6f220d.
osmo-bsc build will be adjusted by I6402c7cbe58dacae7630f7f03819f8102e54c699.
These should be applied right after this here is merged to avoid fallout.
