For the resolving function, change the function signature to return a
gtphub_peer_port. In consequence, publish two functions concerned with
gtphub_peer_port instances for use in test and gtphub_ext.c.
Add GGSN resolution queue, callback and cache. Simple implementation: if an
SGSN asks for a GGSN, it will first get no answer, and I hope it will ask again
once the GGSN is in the cache.
Within gtphub_ext.c, have a dummy sgsn struct, as the sgsn_ares code currently
depends on it (half the functions pass an sgsn instance pointer around, but the
other half use the global one).
In the unit tests, wrap away the ares initialization so that they can work
without a DNS server around. The netcat test breaks because of this, will
remove it.
Using sgsn_ares, implement the gtphub_resolve_ggsn_addr() function, I hope:
untested.
Minor cosmetics just to see if you're paying attention... ;)

First steps towards a new GTP hub. The aim is to mux GTP connections, so that
multiple SGSN <--> GGSN links can pass through a single point. Background:
allow having more than one SGSN, possibly in various remote locations.
The recent addition of OAP to GSUP is related to the same background idea.
(This is a collapsed patch of various changes that do not make sense to review
in chronological order anymore, since a lot of it has thorougly transmorphed
after it was first committed.)
