Introduce a maximum bound of memory access to the osmo_gtlv API.
Properly pass const-ness within the gtlv implementation. This patch adds
membof_const(). The following patch will add the non-const membof()
equivalent, which is not needed in this patch, yet.
Coverity CID#275417 drew my attention to the fact that the gtlv decoding
and encoding does not actually guard against access past the end of the
decoded struct.
We have not yet officially released libosmo-gtlv; also, osmo-upf and
osmo-hnbgw so far only use the libosmo-pfcp API, which "hides" the gtlv
API. Hence just change the API without a backwards compat shim.

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/.

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/.

Add osmo_gtlv_coding: describe the value part of a TLV (decode and
encode), describe a struct with its members, and get/put readily decoded
structs from/to a raw PDU, directly.
With osmo_gtlv_coding defined for a protocol's tags, we only deal with
encoded PDUs or fully decoded C structs, no TLV related
re-implementations clutter up the message handling code.
A usage example is given in gtlv_dec_enc_test. The first real use will be
the PFCP protocol in osmo-upf.git.
With osmo_gtlv_coding, there still is a lot of monkey work involved in
describing the decoded structs. A subsequent patch adds a generator for
osmo_gtlv_coding and message structs from tag value lists.

An all new TLV parser supporting:
- Any size of T and L (determined by callback function),
- "Grouped IEs", so that an IE payload is a nested IE structure,
- optional/mandatory/multi-occurence IEs,
- decoding unordered tags (or enforcing strict order).
Will be used for PFCP message decoding and encoding, a T16L16V protocol
which requires above features.
Upcoming patches add
- translating PDUs to plain C structs and vice versa
- TLV generator to reduce repetition a in protocol definition
- TLIV capability
Previously, the way we deal with TLVs causes a lot of code
re-implementation: the TL decoding is taken care of by the API, but for
encoding, we essentially re-implement each protocol and each encoded
message in the individual programs. This API is an improvement in that
we only once implement the TL coding (or just use osmo_t8l8v_cfg /
osmo_t16l16v_cfg), get symmetric de- and encoding of the TL, and only
need to deal with the value part of each IE.
The common pattern of
- store TL preliminarily,
- write V data and
- update L after V is complete
is conveniently done by osmo_gtlv_put_update_tl().
