Explicitly set the stack size for the MeshLink thread.
Different libcs have different default sizes for newly created threads. In
particular, Musl defaults to 80 kB, which is too small for MeshLink. We now
request 1 MB, which should be more than enough to handle the deepest call
stacks.

Include our own key in REQ_PUBKEY requests.
If we don't know a peer's public key, it most likely means the peer
doesn't know our public key, so proactively send it along with the
REQ_PUBKEY request.
Before we allowed buf->offset to be equal to buf->size. This caused an
issue where buffer_call() would call the callback twice, once for 0
bytes at the end of the buffer, and once for len bytes at the start of
the buffer. This would cause the callback function to think the channel
had encountered an error.
If the data in the ringbuffer wraps around, and we call the receive
callback for the first part of the data, the callback function might
close the channel, so we must not call the callback for the second part
of the data.

Move UTCP into the MeshLink repository.
UTCP is not used outside of MeshLink at the moment, and there is a tight
coupling between the two, so it makes more sense to have it as part of
MeshLink itself.

Handle meshlink_channel_close() being called in callbacks.
When it's called in a callback, we can't free the channel until the
function that called the callback has a chance to safely complete. This
is not a problem for regular receive and poll callbacks, but it is for AIO,
where there can be multiple outstanding AIO buffers that each need their
callback called to signal completion, and each of them could potentially
call meshlink_channel_close().
This also ensures that when the channel is explicitly closed by the
application, it will not receive any further callbacks.
The event loop was assuming that a timespec value of {0, 0} meant that the
timer was not added to the timer tree. However, it was possible for other
parts of the code to set the value to {0, 0}, which could result in a
segmentation fault. Use the splay_node_t data pointer to check whether a
timeout is linked into the tree instead.
Several fixes for channel AIO send and receive functions.
- Process multiple buffers if possible
- Better handling error conditions
- fd errors now cancel the AIO buffer
- channel errors cancel all outstanding AIO buffers
- Don't call the poll callback with a length larger than the remaining
UTCP send buffer.
Make UTCP retranmissions trigger PMTU probes immediately.
If there are network problems while data is being transferred over a
channel, we want to react to this as soon as possible. Set the retranmission
callback to trigger the next PMTU probe immediately if there as none in
progress.
Allow meshlink_open() to be called with a NULL name.
This will use the name used last time the MeshLink instance was initialized.
If there is no initialized instance at the given confbase, it will return
an error.
Opening an instance with a different name than the one in the configuration
files will now also result in an error.
When resetting timers that use CLOCK_MONOTONIC, use a negative value.
CLOCK_MONOTONIC might be implemented as the time since the CPU booted, so
if MeshLink starts soon after booting, setting timers to "0" might not
actually be far enough in the past to trigger a timeout.
This has almost no effect in practice, since most timeouts are a minute or
less, but it might affect running tests in virtual machines.
These block for a limited amount of time, preventing lookups from taking
too long. Because these requests can be done without the main MeshLink
thread running, we don't use the request queue, but instead spawn a
thread for each blocking request.

Add an asynchronous DNS thread.
Add a thread dedicated to making DNS lookups. There are two queues, one
for pending DNS requests and one for done DNS requests. The async DNS
thread reads from the pending request queue, checks for each request if
the deadline has not been met yet, and if so calls getaddrinfo(). Once
the result is obtained, it adds that to the done request queue and
signals the main meshlink thread, which will then call the callback
function associated with the DNS request.
Update UTCP to support fragmenting packets on UDP style channels.
This allows the application to send packets of arbitrary size (up to 64 kiB)
without worrying about the path MTU to the destination node, which might
vary, especially at the start of a connection.
If the application doesn't want packets to fragment, it should use
meshlink_channel_get_mss() to query the maximum size for unfragmented
packets.

Reduce how often we have to poll the packet queue.
Packets are moved to the MeshLink thread via the packet queue. However,
each packet required a trigger byte to be sent to the event loop, requiring
more calls to select() than necessary. Now we make event loop signals level
triggered, and dequeue all enqueued packets at once.
This also adds debug log statements for the packet queue.

Handle not being able to bind to the configured port at startup.
When starting a MeshLink node that has already been configured to run on a
certain port, but that port is in use (for one or more of the supported
address families), it would either ignore some address families, or would
try to bind to port 0 if all address families failed. However, this is
problematic, because it makes discovery and invitation URL generation much
harder.
Fix this by checking if any port binding fails for a supported address
family, and if so, try to find another port that does support binding on
all address families. If it fails to find any available port, it will fall
back to binding to port 0, so that outgoing connections are still possible.
