Sometimes (particularly when testing), we may want to parse+execute an
arbitrary control command simply form a string buffer, rather than from
a msgb. Let's add a helper for that.

When executing test cases, we don't want to bind to a local TCP port, as
we cannot make assumptions as to which ports are actually free.

The existing code assumes that the main application knows about all
control command nodes and can thus present one lookup function.
As libraries are getting their own control interface handling, this
is too restrictive, and we need a way how library code can dynamically
register more node lookup helpers. We can now do this by means of a
ctrl_lookup_register() function.

Add function for allocating CTRL connection to public headers and
replace call to previous static function with it. Add doxygen docs for
this function.
It's useful if we need to allocate ctrl connection but don't need to
bind to any interfaces: when we act as ctrl client.

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).
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.
