2022-06-16libosmo-gtlv: add TLIV capabilityNeels Hofmeyr1-5/+8
During code review, it was indicated that some TLV protocols that we will likely deal with in the near future also employ an I, and instance value of a tag. Add TLIV support. A usage example for a manually implemented TLIV structure is found in tests/libosmo-gtlv/gtlv_test.c. A usage example for a generated TLIV protocol is found in tests/libosmo-gtlv/test_tliv/.

2022-06-16libosmo-gtlv: add C code generator for IE structs and arraysNeels Hofmeyr1-0/+417
Defining a protocol of message types with lists of IEs bears a lot of repetitive, copy-paste-error-prone writing out of data structures. Add a third layer to libosmo-gtlv, which allows helpful code generation. By non-repetitive data structures that briefly describe the protocol's messages and IEs, generate possibly repetitive IE list arrays and decoded-struct definitions automatically, avoiding grunt work errors. I tried C macros for this at first, but it became too convoluted. Generating C code that can be read and grepped makes things easier. A usage example is found in tests/libosmo-gtlv/test_gtlv_gen/.
