add osmo_quote_str(),osmo_quote_str_buf() and test

Rationale: with osmo_escape_str(), you get the escaped contents of the string,
but not so graceful handling of NULL strings. The caller needs to quote it, and
for NULL strings not quote it.

osmo_quote_str() is like osmo_escape_str() but always quotes a non-NULL string,
and for a NULL string returns a literal NULL, i.e. it should (tm) give the
exact C representation of a string.

That's useful in testing, to show exactly what char* situation we have, without
jumping through hoops like
  if (str)
  	printf("\"%s\"", osmo_escape_str(str, -1));
  else
  	printf("NULL");

Copy the unit test for osmo_escape_str() and adjust. To indicate that the
double quotes are returned by osmo_quote_str(), use single quotes in the test
printf()s.

I considered allowing to pick the quoting characters by further arguments, but
that complicates things: we'd need to escape the quoting characters. Just
hardcode double quotes like C.

libosmocore - set of Osmocom core libraries

This repository contains a set of C-language libraries that form the core infrastructure of many Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications projects.

Historically, a lot of this code was developed as part of the OpenBSC project, but which are of a more generic nature and thus useful to (at least) other programs that we develop in the sphere of Free Software / Open Source mobile communications.

There is no clear scope of it. We simply move all shared code between the various Osmocom projects in this library to avoid code duplication.

The libosmcoore.git repository build multiple libraries:

  • libosmocore contains some general-purpose functions like select-loop abstraction, message buffers, timers, linked lists
  • libosmovty contains routines related to the interactive command-line interface called VTY
  • libosmogsm contains definitions and helper code related to GSM protocols
  • libosmoctrl contains a shared implementation of the Osmocom control interface
  • libosmogb contains an implementation of the Gb interface with its NS/BSSGP protocols
  • libosmocodec contains an implementation of GSM voice codecs
  • libosmocoding contains an implementation of GSM channel coding
  • libosmosim contains infrastructure to interface SIM/UICC/USIM cards
  • libosmotrau contains encoding/decoding functions for A-bis TRAU frames
