mgw: accept zero-length RTP payload as BFI Mainline OsmoBTS now has an option (rtp continuous-streaming) that causes it to emit an RTP packet every 20 ms without gaps, sending a BFI marker in the form of zero-length RTP payload when it has nothing else to send. These codec-independent BFI markers don't indicate TAF, but this provision is a good start. Accept this BFI packet format in themwi-mgw.

One important component of Themyscira Wireless system sw, specifically
themwi-mgw, implements speech transcoding between GSM codecs on the inside and
G.711 on the outside.  This essential function creates a dependency on some
specialized libraries that implement the codecs which need to be supported.
The following codec libraries are currently required:

1) libgsm, the original GSM 06.10 implementation from 1990s;

2) gsm-codec-lib developed by Mother Mychaela for Themyscira Wireless:

https://www.freecalypso.org/hg/gsm-codec-lib/

This gsm-codec-lib collection provides two libraries: libgsmefr and libgsmfrp.
Both of these libraries are used by themwi-mgw as mandatory dependencies.
