Neels Hofmeyr 72bc8da537 mgcp_client: drop a bunch of dead code
Remove public API that makes no sense anymore and is dead code.

I see the dropped API as a dead-end initial misconception of the early mgcp
client, and it doesn't really make sense to drag this stuff along. It has not
been used by osmo-msc,-bsc for a long time now, and just confuses the reader.

It is public API, yes, and older versions of osmo-msc / osmo-bsc will not be
able to compile against this, but even if it did, the resulting MGCP client
would not work with the current osmo-mgw: this API is still based on the
premise that the MGCP client dictates the MGW endpoint numbers, a concept that
cannot be used with the current osmo-mgw. Instead, osmo-mgw expects a
wildcarded endpoint upon CRCX and assigns its own endpoint names.

Also, the bts-base configuration is unused and a legacy of when osmo-bsc_mgcp
had explicit BTS and CN sides.

About OsmoMGW
=============

OsmoMGW 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.

OsmoMGW was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. It originated
as a solution to merely navigate RTP streams through a NAT, but has since
matured to a Media Gateway implementation that is capable of streaming RTP for
2G (AoIP) and 3G (IuCS) GSM networks as well as (still not implemented at time
of writing) transcoding between TRAU, various RTP payloads and IuUP.

The OsmoMGW program exposes an MGCP interface towards clients like OsmoMSC and
OsmoBSC, and receives and sends RTP streams as configured via MGCP.

The libosmo-mgcp-client library exposes utilities used by e.g. OsmoMSC (found
in osmo-msc.git) to instruct OsmoMGW via its MGCP service.
