MMEs connect over Gn interface using GTPCv1 towards the SGSN in order to
exchange RIM PDUs by using "RAN Information Relay" GTPCv1 message type.
For more info, see 3GPP TS 29.060 sec 7.5.14.1 "RAN Information Relay"
In order to support it, this commit does the following:
* Uses new libgtp APIs to rx and tx RAN Information Relay messages. The
same "gsn" object is reused, ie. the local GTPCv1 socket address used
for exchanging messages against GGSN is reused.
* Adds a new "sgsn_mme_ctx" struct holding information about MMEs
allowed by the SGSN, each one containing information about the GTP
address it uses, the in/out routing based on TAI requests, etc. The
set of MMEs and their config can be set up using new VTY node introduced
in this commit.
* The RIM related code in SGSN is refactored to allow forwarding from
and to several types of addresses/interfaces.

Change the whole vty configuration for NS to be more flexible
and support more setups. Old configurations are invalid.
API change which must be synchronized with libosmocore

For the common lookup-by-nsei, this should reduce the computational
complexity significantly.

Add 'cs7' default configuration, link to the
osmo-gsm-manuals/common/cs7-config.adoc chapter to fully explain the 'cs7'
client configuration.

Since osmo-ggsn.git c94837c6a401bf0f80791b619a9b4cfbe9160afd, those
APIs are a no-op since timers are tracked internally through osmocom
APIs (and at the same time, new implementation fixes some timing related
bugs).
As a result, osmo-sgsn depends now on at least that libgtp commit. Since
it's not yet avaiable on latest libgtp release, let's track it down in
TODO-RELESE to not forget to update libgtp requirements during osmo-sgsn
release.

It's going to be useful to track new dependency APIs being used which
require dependency version release and version bump during release of
osmo-sgsn.
