utils.h: add OSMO_NAME_C_IMPL() macro
Provide a common implementation for foo_name_c() functions that base on foo_name_buf() functions. char *foo_name_c(void *ctx, example_t arg) { OSMO_NAME_C_IMPL(ctx, 64, "ERROR", foo_name_buf, arg) } Rationale: the most efficient way of composing strings that have optional parts or require loops for composition is by writing to a ready char[], and this in turn is easiest done by using OSMO_STRBUF_* API. Using such a basic name string implementation which typically returns a length, I often want a more convenient version that returns a char*, which can just be inlined in a "%s" string format -- crucially: skipping string composition when inlined in a LOGP(). This common implementation allows saving code dup, only the function signature is needed. Why not include the function signature in the macro? The two sets of varargs (1: signature args, 2: function call args) are hard to do. Also, having an explicit signature is good for readability and code grepping / ctags. Upcoming uses: in libosmocore in the mslookup (D-GSM) implementation (osmo_mslookup_result_name_c()), and in osmo_msc's codec negotiation implementation (sdp_audio_codecs_name_c(), sdp_msg_name_c(), ...).

+ * char *foo_name_c(void *ctx, example_t arg)

+ * Return a talloc'd string containing the result of the given foo_name_buf() function, or ON_ERROR on error in the called
+ * foo_name_buf() function.
+ *
+ * If ON_ERROR is NULL, the function returns NULL on error rc from FUNC_BUF. Take care: returning NULL in printf() like
+ * formats (LOGP()) makes the program crash. If ON_ERROR is non-NULL, it must be a string constant, which is not
+ * returned directly, but written to an allocated string buffer first.
+ *
+ * \param[in] INITIAL_BUFSIZE Which size to first talloc from ctx -- a larger size makes a reallocation less likely, a
+ * smaller size allocates less unused bytes, zero allocates once but still runs the string composition twice.
+ * \param[in] ON_ERROR String constant to copy on error rc returned by FUNC_BUF, or NULL to return NULL.
+ * \param[in] FUNC_BUF Name of a function with signature foo_buf(char *buf, size_t buflen, ...).
+ * \param[in] FUNC_BUF_ARGS Additional arguments to pass to FUNC_BUF after the buf and buflen.
