Now that the VTY has no static dependencies like a global ss7_instance
anymore, we can move it back to libosmo-sigtran and make use of it in
other programs outside osmo-stp.
This requires Change-Id I184a7e3187b48c15c71bf773f86e188fe1daad15 in
libosmocore

osmo-stp is able to define multiple M3UA and/or SUA application servers
(AS) as well as application server processes (ASPs). Clients can then
connect via M3UA or SUA, perform the respective ASPSM / ASPTM state
changes and finally exchange MTP signaling such as ISUP or SCCP on top
of it. Routing is currently only based on point codes (PC). Routing table
is fully configurable with Destination PC and mask.
Shortcomings:
* xUA: only "override" traffic mode supported, no load-balance or broadcast
* xUA: no SNM supported, i.e. DAVA/DUNA/... messages are neither parsed
nor generated
* SCCP: no Global Title based Routing (GTR) yet
* SCCP: no Global Title Translation (GTT) yet
* no M2PA / M2UA sigtran dialects
* no classic CS7 based signaling links(E1/T1 TDM)

This is what aims to be a rather complete/proper implementation of the
SIGTRAN + SS7 protocol suite. It has proper abstraction between the
layers with primitives, finite state machines for things like the AS and
ASP state machines, support for point code routing, etc.
What's not implemented at this point:
* re-integration of pre-existing SUA (pending)
* actual MTP2 and physical E1/T1 link support
* different trafic modes like broadcast/fail-over/load-balance
