tlv.h: add msgb_tvl_put() to add a TvLV without the value part

So far, we have msgb_tl_put(), which allows putting the TL header of a TLV,
without the value part. Add the same for a variable-size length TvLV: put a TvL
header of a TvLV without the value part.

In a subsequent patch, osmo_mobile_identity will be introduced, which will
allow writing the encoded MI directly to the end of a msgb. For BSSGP_IE_IMSI,
which is a TvLV, it would hence be simplest to write only the TvL first.
