ctrl: allow more nodes than those in enum ctrl_node_type

Add ctrl_interface_setup_dynip2() to add a node_count parameter, which can be
used to define more ctrl nodes without having to merge a patch to libosmocore.

In consequence, also add ctrl_handle_alloc2(), since
ctrl_interface_setup_dynip() uses ctrl_handle_alloc() to allocate the node
slots, and add node_count param to static ctrl_init().

Passing zero as node_count indicates to use the default of _LAST_CTRL_NODE as
before, i.e. to not define more ctrl nodes. Assert that we never allocate less
than _LAST_CTRL_NODE slots.

The current ctrl_interface_setup_dynip() and ctrl_handle_alloc() become simple
wrappers that pass zero as node_count. Their use is still valid and they do not
need to be deprecated.

The API comment to ctrl_interface_setup_dynip2() explains how to define more
node IDs.

This patch was verified to work by osmo-hlr.git change
I98ee6a06b3aa6a67adb868e0b63b0e04eb42eb50 which adds two node IDs for use by
osmo-hlr only.

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
