vlib: Replace timer in CLI with an event process
The CLI code, when it accepts a socket connection, ran a timer for each session that would ensure the CLI session was started should the TELNET negotiation stage fail to complete. It has since transpired that this is unsafe; the timer is capable of firing in critical sections, during a spinlock, and since we peform non-trivial things in the handler it can cause a deadlock. This was reported recently in VPP-1711 but a search of history suggests this may also be (one of) the causes in VPP-1413. This change replaces that method with an event-driven process. The process is created when the first socket connection is accepted. When new connections are created the process is sent an event to register the new session in a list. That event process has a loop that evaluates the list of oustanding sessions and if a deadline expires, their session is started if it has not been already, and then removed from the list. If we have pending sessions then the loop waits on a timer or an event; if there are no sessions it waits on events only.
