Handle UDP packets with unknown source addresses properly.
Probably due to a merge, the try_harder() function had duplicated the
rate-limiting code for detecting the sender node based on the HMAC of the
packet. This prevented this detection from running at all. The function is now
identical again to that in the 1.0 branch.

use execvp() not execve() in tincctl start
sometimes argv[0] will have directory-less name (when the
command is started by shell searching in $PATH for example).
For tincctl start we want the same rules to run tincd as for
tincctl itself (having full path is better but if shell does
not provide one we've no other choice). Previous code tried
to run ./tincd in this case, which is obviously wrong.

run tincd from the same directory as tincctl and pass all options to it
For tincctl start, run tincd from dirname($0) not SBINDIR -
this allows painless alternative directory installation and
running from build directory too.
Also while at it, pass the rest of command line to tincd, not
only options before "start" argument. This way it's possible
to pass options to tincd like this:
tincctl -n net start -- -d 1 -R -U tincuser ...
And also add missing newline at the end of error message there.
Encryption and authentication of the meta connection is spread out over
meta.c and protocol_auth.c. The new protocol was added there as well,
leading to spaghetti code. To improve things, the new protocol will now
be implemented in sptps.[ch].
The goal is to have a very simplified version of TLS. There is a record
layer, and there are only two record types: application data and
handshake messages. The handshake message contains a random nonce, an
ephemeral ECDH public key, and an ECDSA signature over the former. After
the ECDH public keys are exchanged, a shared secret is calculated, and a
TLS style PRF is used to generate the key material for the cipher and
HMAC algorithm, and further communication is encrypted and authenticated.
A lot of the simplicity comes from the fact that both sides must have
each other's public keys in advance, and there are no options to choose.
There will be one fixed cipher suite, and both peers always authenticate
each other. (Inspiration taken from Ian Grigg's hypotheses[0].)
There might be some compromise in the future, to enable or disable
encryption, authentication and compression, but there will be no choice
of algorithms. This will allow SPTPS to be built with a few embedded
crypto algorithms instead of linking with huge crypto libraries.
The API is also kept simple. There is a start and a stop function. All
data necessary to make the connection work is passed in the start
function. Instead having both send- and receive-record functions, there
is a send-record function and a receive-data function. The latter will
pass protocol data received from the peer to the SPTPS implementation,
which will in turn call a receive-record callback function when
necessary. This hides all the handshaking from the application, and is
completely independent from any event loop or socket characteristics.
Make hexadecimal and base64 routines behave the same.
The length parameter for the encoding functions is the length of the
binary input, and for the decoding functions it is the maximum size of
the binary output.
The return value is always the length of the resulting output, excluding
the terminating NULL character for the encoding routines.
All functions can encode and decode in-place. The encoding functions
will always write a terminating NULL character, and the decoding
functions will stop at a NULL character.
Automatically exchange ECDSA keys and upgrade to new authentication protocol.
If we don't have ECDSA keys for the node we connect to, set protocol_minor
to 1, to indicate this to the other end. This will first complete the
old way of authentication with RSA keys, and will then exchange ECDSA keys.
The connection will be terminated right afterwards, and the next attempt
will use ECDSA keys.
The generate-keys command now generates both an RSA and an ECDSA keypair,
but one can generate-rsa-keys or generate-ecdsa-keys to just generate one type.
Add PRF to derive key material from the ECDH shared secret.
It is modelled after the pseudorandom function from RFC4346 (TLS 1.1), the only
significant change is the use of SHA512 and Whirlpool instead of MD5 and SHA1.
REQ_KEY requests have an extra field indicating key exchange version.
If it is present and > 0, the sender supports ECDH. If the receiver also
does, then it will generate a new keypair and sends the public key in a
ANS_KEY request with "ECDH:" prefixed. The ans_key_h() function will
compute the shared secret, which, at the moment,is used as is to set the
cipher and HMAC keys. However, this must be changed to use a proper KDF.
In the future, the ECDH key exchange must also be signed.

Make pid files backwards compatible and add address of listening socket.
The pid is now written first, so that a version 1.0.x tincd can be used to stop
a running version 1.1 tincd. Getsockname() is used to determine the address of
the first listening socket, so that tincctl can connect to the local tincd even
if AddressFamily = ipv6, or if BindToAddress or BindToInterface is used.

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.

Don't ignore SIGCHLD, system() needs it.
But we do ignore SIGPIPE, and tinc 1.0.x signals that are no longer used
(SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2), since the default handler of these signals is to
terminate tincd immediately.

More stable sorting in tincctl top.
Although we use qsort(), which is not guaranteed to be stable, resorting the
previously sorted array is more stable than recreating and resorting the array
each time.

Drop the GNU malloc.c, realloc.c, and xmalloc.c.
We live in the 21st century, and we require C99 semantics, so we do not need to
work around buggy libcs. The xmalloc() and related functions are now static
inline functions.

Simplify signal handling.
We don't override any signal handlers anymore except those for SIGPIPE and
SIGCHLD. Fatal signals (SIGSEGV, SIGBUS etc.) will terminate tincd and
optionally dump core. The previous behaviour was to terminate gracefully and
try to restart, but that usually failed and made any core dump useless.
