We have a habit of returning static buffers from some functions,
particularly when generating some kind of string values. This is
convenient in terms of memory management, but it comes at the expense
of not being thread-safe, and not allowing for two calls of the
related function within one printf() statement.
Let's introduce _c suffix versions of those functions where the
caller passes in a talloc context from which the output buffer shall
be allocated.

We have a number of static buffers in use in libosmo*. This means
the related functions are not usable in a thread-safe way. While
we so far don't have many multi-threaded programs in the osmocom
universe, the static buffers also prevent us from calling the same
e.g. string-ify function twice within a single printf() call.
Let's make sure there's an alternative function in all those cases,
where the user can pass in a caller-allocated buffer + size, and make
the 'classic' function with the static buffer a wrapper around that
_buf() variant.

Considering the various styles and implications found in the sources, edit
scores of files to follow the same API doc guidelines around the doxygen
grouping and the \file tag.
Many files now show a short description in the generated API doc that was so
far only available as C comment.
The guidelines and reasoning behind it is documented at
https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Guidelines_for_API_documentation
In some instances, remove file comments and add to the corresponding group
instead, to be shared among several files (e.g. bitvec).

Especially for short descriptions, it is annoying to have to type \brief for
every single API doc.
Drop all \brief and enable the AUTOBRIEF feature of doxygen, which always takes
the first sentence of an API doc as the brief description.
