add osmo_sockaddr_str_cmp()
Currently planned user: for Distributed GSM in osmo-hlr: setting per-MSC
service addresses in VTY: replace/remove existing entries.
osmo_sockaddr_str_cmp() is useful to catch identical resulting IP addresses,
regardless of differing strings (e.g. '0::' and '::' are equal but differ in
strings).
