libosmo-tlv: add C code generator for IE structs and arrays

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-tlv, 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-tlv/test_tlv_gen/.
