This is mainly important for Windows, where the select() call in the
main thread is not being woken up when the tapreader thread calls
route(), causing a delay of up to 1 second before the output buffer is
flushed. This would cause bad performance when UDP communication is not
possible.
Make code to detect two nodes with the same Name less triggerhappy.
First of all, if there really are two nodes with the same name, much
more than 10 contradicting ADD_EDGE and DEL_EDGE messages will be sent.
Also, we forgot to reset the counters when nothing happened.
In case there is a ADD_EDGE/DEL_EDGE storm, we do not shut down, but
sleep an increasing amount of time, allowing tinc to recover gracefully
from temporary failures.

Improved --logfile option.
Instead of UNIX time, the log messages now start with the time in RFC3339
format, which human-readable and still easy for the computer to parse and sort.
The HUP signal will also cause the log file to be closed and reopened, which is
useful when log rotation is used. If there is an error while opening the log
file, this is logged to stderr.

Reorder checks for libraries to allow ./configure LDFLAGS=-static.
OpenSSL depends on libdl and libz. When linking dynamically, libcrypto will
automatically link with the other two libraries. However, when linking
statically, these libraries need to be specified explicitly while linking. By
moving the autoconf checks for libdl and libz before those for libcrypto, we
ensure the latter test will be done with the proper libraries.

Increase threshold for detecting two nodes with the same Name.
In commit 4a21aabada23d1d2c8a10f54dd7248171c4ec82f, code was added to detect
contradicting ADD_EDGE and DEL_EDGE messages being sent, which is an indication
of two nodes with the same Name connected to the same VPN. However, these
contradictory messages can also happen when there is a network partitioning. In
the former case a loop happens which causes many contradictory message, while
in the latter case only a few of those messages will be sent. So, now we
increase the threshold to at least 10 of both ADD_EDGE and DEL_EDGE messages.

Do not set indirect flag on edges from nodes with multiple addresses.
Since tinc now handles UDP packets with a different source address and port
than used for TCP connections, the heuristic to treat edges as indirect when
tinc could detect that multiple addresses were used does not make sense
anymore, and can actually reduce performance.

Fix spurious misidentification of incoming UDP packets.
When a UDP packet was received with an unknown source address/port, and if it
failed a HMAC check against known keys, it could still incorrectly assign that
UDP address to another node. This would temporarily cause outgoing UDP packets
to go to the wrong destination address, until packets from the correct address
were received again.

Always send MTU probes at least once every PingInterval.
Before, if MTU probes failed, tinc would stop sending probes until the next

Quit when there are too many consecutive errors on the tun/tap device.
Although transient errors sometimes happen on the tun/tap device (for example,
if the kernel is temporarily out of buffer space), there are situations where
the tun/tap device becomes permanently broken. Instead of endlessly spamming
the syslog, we now sleep an increasing amount of time between consecutive read
errors, and if reads still fail after 10 attempts (approximately 3 seconds),
tinc will quit.

Merge local host configuration with server configuration.
With some exceptions, tinc only accepted host configuration options for the

Detect and prevent two nodes with the same Name being on the VPN simultaneously.

Convert Port to numeric form before sending it to other nodes.
If one uses a symbolic name for the Port option, tinc will send that name

Never delete Subnets when StrictSubnets is set
If a node is unreachable, and not connected to an edge anymore, it gets
deleted. When this happens its subnets are also removed, which should
not happen with StrictSubnets=yes.
Solution:
- do not remove subnets in src/net.c::purge(), we know that all subnets
in the list came from our hosts files.
I think here you got the check wrong by looking at the tunnelserver
code below it - with strictsubnets we still inform others but do not
remove the subnet from our data.
- do not remove nodes in net.c::purge() that still have subnets
attached.
