The NS implementation part of the Gb implementation libosmogb
so far implemented a rather classic dialect of Gb, with lots of
heritage to FR (Frame Relay) transports. At least since Release 6
of the NS specification, there's an IP Sub-Network Service (SNS),
which
* permits for dynamic configuration of IP endpoints and their NS-VCs
* abandons the concept of a NSVCI on IP transport
* forbids the use of RESET/BLOCK/UNBLOCK procedures on IP transport
This commit introduces BSS-side IP-SNS support to libosmogb in a
minimally invasive way. It adds a corresponding SNS FSM to each NS
instance, and implements the new SIZE/CONFIG/ADD/DELETE/CHANGE_WEIGHT
procedures very closely aligned with the spec.
In order to use the SNS flavor (rather than the classic one),
a BSS implementation should use gprs_ns_nsip_connect_sns() instead
of the existing gprs_ns_nsip_connect().
This implementation comes with a set of TTCN-3 tests in
PCU_Tests_RAW_SNS.ttcn, see Change-ID
I0fe3d4579960bab0494c294ec7ab8032feed4fb2 of osmo-ttcn3-hacks.git

This function performs sending a NS-ALIVE PDU and starting Tns-Test,
let's use it in all places where we used to do that.
As part of this, also fix a bug where the sendto() return value (number
of bytes sent) would actually propagate up all the way to
gprs_ns_rx_reset() return value, which in turn affects the test results
on stdout.

Modern NS specifications contain a SNS (Sub Network Service) for
negotiating IP/port/weight parameters of NS-over-IP links dynamically.
This patch adds message encoding routines for SNS-CONFIG, SNS-SIZE
and their respective acknowledgements.
