This reverts commit ed9d6da5df.
The commit is good as such, but it causes many compiler warnings in the OpenBSC
build. We want this to be re-applied as soon as we have patches ready that fix
the fallout in openbsc.git.

4253 used to collide with the sysmobts-mgr VTY port.
Note, openggsn does not actually have a Ctrl interface yet.

This may seem like overkill for a mere const char * config item, but it makes
the Control interface VTY commands reusable in any main() scope (inspired by
libosmo-abis' VTY config).
Add API functions ctrl_vty_init() and ctrl_vty_get_bind_addr(), in new files
src/ctrl/control_vty.c and include/osmocom/ctrl/control_vty.h, compiled and/or
installed dependent on ENABLE_VTY.
Using these functions allows configuring a static const char* with the VTY
commands
ctrl
bind A.B.C.D
which callers shall subsequently use to bind the Control interface to a
specific local interface address, by passing the return value of
ctrl_vty_get_bind_addr() to control_interface_setup().
Add CTRL_NODE to enum node_type, "eating" RESERVED4_NODE to heed that comment
on avoiding ABI changes.
Make the ctrl interface bind address configurable, so that it may be made
available on other addresses than 127.0.0.1. The specific aim is to allow
running multiple osmo-nitbs alongside each other (commits in openbsc follow).
Sometimes a control interface command cannot be processed
and responded immediately, but we need to process it asynchronously.
In order to support this, we introduce the 'ctrl_cmd_def', which
represents such a deferred command. It is created by the service
implementing the command using ctrl_cmd_def_make(), and a response is
later sent using ctrl_cmd_def_send().
ctrl_cmd_def_is_zombie() must be called to handle the case where
the control connection has disconnected/died between receiving the
command and sending the response.
The control interface user now only has to register a very short
node lookup function callback. This function is optional, and only
required if hierarchical command lookup should be supported.
