context: Add support for [per-thread] global talloc contexts
Rather than having applications maintain their own talloc cotexts,
let's offer some root talloc contexts in libosmocore. Let's also
make them per thread right from the beginning. This will help
some multi-threaded applications to use talloc in a thread-safe
way.
