So far we had only osmo_pfcp_enc_to_str_node_id(), used for PFCP message
to string conversion. It behaves like a common _to_str_buf() function,
but has an inconvenient void* arg (for use with libosmo-tlv).
Implement the string conversion as common _to_str_buf() and _to_str_c()
functions, and call that from osmo_pfcp_enc_to_str_node_id(). That's
useful for log messages coming up in a subsequent patch.

The spec indicates three bytes of CP Function Features, but both
wireshark and ttcn3 expect only one byte. This makes sense because only
eight CP F.F. flags are defined.
Drop those two always-zero bytes, hence pass the wireshark dissector and
ttcn3 parsing without warnings.

These help to build enums and value_strings using regexes. They are a
verbatim copy from 3GPP TS 29.244 version 16.6.0 Release 16, paired with
C-compatible and possibly abbreviated name strings.

During code review, it was indicated that some TLV protocols that we
will likely deal with in the near future also employ an I, and instance
value of a tag. Add TLIV support.
A usage example for a manually implemented TLIV structure is found in
tests/libosmo-gtlv/gtlv_test.c.
A usage example for a generated TLIV protocol is found in
tests/libosmo-gtlv/test_tliv/.

Defining a protocol of message types with lists of IEs bears a lot of
repetitive, copy-paste-error-prone writing out of data structures.
Add a third layer to libosmo-gtlv, which allows helpful code generation.
By non-repetitive data structures that briefly describe the protocol's
messages and IEs, generate possibly repetitive IE list arrays and
decoded-struct definitions automatically, avoiding grunt work errors.
I tried C macros for this at first, but it became too convoluted.
Generating C code that can be read and grepped makes things easier.
A usage example is found in tests/libosmo-gtlv/test_gtlv_gen/.

Add osmo_gtlv_coding: describe the value part of a TLV (decode and
encode), describe a struct with its members, and get/put readily decoded
structs from/to a raw PDU, directly.
With osmo_gtlv_coding defined for a protocol's tags, we only deal with
encoded PDUs or fully decoded C structs, no TLV related
re-implementations clutter up the message handling code.
A usage example is given in gtlv_dec_enc_test. The first real use will be
the PFCP protocol in osmo-upf.git.
With osmo_gtlv_coding, there still is a lot of monkey work involved in
describing the decoded structs. A subsequent patch adds a generator for
osmo_gtlv_coding and message structs from tag value lists.

An all new TLV parser supporting:
- Any size of T and L (determined by callback function),
- "Grouped IEs", so that an IE payload is a nested IE structure,
- optional/mandatory/multi-occurence IEs,
- decoding unordered tags (or enforcing strict order).
Will be used for PFCP message decoding and encoding, a T16L16V protocol
which requires above features.
Upcoming patches add
- translating PDUs to plain C structs and vice versa
- TLV generator to reduce repetition a in protocol definition
- TLIV capability
Previously, the way we deal with TLVs causes a lot of code
re-implementation: the TL decoding is taken care of by the API, but for
encoding, we essentially re-implement each protocol and each encoded
message in the individual programs. This API is an improvement in that
we only once implement the TL coding (or just use osmo_t8l8v_cfg /
osmo_t16l16v_cfg), get symmetric de- and encoding of the TL, and only
need to deal with the value part of each IE.
The common pattern of
- store TL preliminarily,
- write V data and
- update L after V is complete
is conveniently done by osmo_gtlv_put_update_tl().

I wrote a simple tool that puts the same license headers in all .[hc]
files. These tweaks are the result of running that tool on already
merged files.
