Jon Shallow 9cb2f62a3e RFC7641: Move block handling logic down into libcoap
This change removes the need for applications having to know about handling
requests for the next block etc.  It also gives the application the ability
to pass a large body of data to be transmitted and be told when this body is
no longer required.

This logic is enabled in libcoap by setting COAP_BLOCK_USE_LIBCOAP using
coap_context_set_block_mode()

This change breaks down into 4 specific areas

1) Client doing a PUT/POST etc. of a large amount of data (BLOCK1).

coap_add_data_large_request() is used which provides a 'finished with data'
callback function as well as adding required options to the PDUs.  This
function calls coap_add_data_large_internal().

Internal coap_handle_response_send_block() sends off the subsequent blocks
(using session->lg_xmit).

2) Server receiving PUT/POST etc. of a large amount of data (BLOCK1).

Internal coap_handle_request_get_block() acknowledges the appropriate blocks
(using session->lg_srcv) and either passes in the individual blocks or the body
depending on whether COAP_BLOCK_SINGLE_BODY is set or not using
coap_context_set_block_mode().

3) Server sending a large data response to GET / observe (BLOCK2)

coap_add_data_large_response() is used which provides a 'finished with data'
callback function.  This function calls coap_add_data_large_internal() as well
as filling in the necessary options for each PDU.

Interal coap_handle_request_send_block() will then send the next requested block
(using session->lg_xmit).

4) Client receiving a large data response (BLOCK2)

coap_send_large() for the initial request sets this up.

Internal coap_handle_response_get_block() will then request the next block when
previous block received (using session->lg_crcv) and either passes the
individual blocks or the body depending on COAP_BLOCK_SINGLE_BODY being set in
coap_context_set_block_mode().

----

The following new internal functions have been added

coap_handle_request_get_block()
coap_handle_request_send_block()
coap_handle_response_get_block()
coap_handle_response_send_block()
coap_add_data_large_internal()

The following new functions have been added.

coap_add_data_large_request()
coap_add_data_large_response()
coap_context_set_block_mode()
coap_get_data_large()
coap_pdu_duplicate()
coap_send_large()
coap_session_init_token()
coap_session_new_token()

The coap_session_init_token() and coap_session_new_token() were added to make
the handling of unique tokens for each request/response easier.
