Hi.

Currently there's a way to init and register socket for "server side" 
(BSC_FD_READ) via osmo_sock_init_ofd() but there seems to be no 
counterpart for "client side" (BSC_FD_WRITE) which could be useful in 
few places too.

We can modify osmo_sock_init_ofd() to check for OSMO_SOCK_F_CONNECT flag 
and register with BSC_FD_WRITE or we can add separate function. Or maybe 
it's already available somehow and I just don't see it.
