generate shorter 'I:' conn IDs
Reduce the number of hex chars generated as Connection Identifier from 32 to 8.
According to RFC3435 2.1.3.2 "Names of Connections", the maximum length is
indeed 32 characters, but there isn't really a benefit of using IDs of that
size. That, and:
A specific SCCPlite MSC is seen to be able to store conn IDs of up to 8 hex
characters of length. If given more than that, it will later send 'ffffffff' as
ID, e.g. in the DLCX message, causing mismatches and rejected DLCX.
Conn IDs need to be unique only within the context of one endpoint, so
producing 32 characters of ID is far beyond overkill, especially if we
currently expect exactly two IDs per endpoint.
Notice that the maximum length of conn ID that can be handled by the message
parsing and composition doesn't change, only the length that an osmo-mgw will
generate upon CRCX does.
