Add support for multicast communication with UML/QEMU/KVM.
DeviceType = multicast allows one to specify a multicast address and port with
a Device statement. Tinc will then read/send packets to that multicast group
instead of to a tun/tap device. This allows interaction with UML, QEMU and KVM
instances that are listening on the same group.

Always try next Address when an outgoing connection fails to authenticate.
When making outgoing connections, tinc goes through the list of Addresses and
tries all of them until one succeeds. However, before it would consider
establishing a TCP connection a success, even when the authentication failed.
This would be a problem if the first Address would point to a hostname and port
combination that belongs to the wrong tinc node, or perhaps even to a non-tinc
service, causing tinc to endlessly try this Address instead of moving to the
next one.

Make sure disabling old RSA keys works on Windows.
Seeking in files and rewriting parts of them does not seem to work properly on
Windows. Instead, when old RSA keys are found when generating new ones, the
file containing the old keys is copied to a temporary file where the changes
are made, and that file is renamed back to the original filename. On Windows,
we cannot atomically replace files with a rename(), so we need to move the
original file out of the way first. If anything fails, the new code will warn
that the user has to solve the problem by hand.

Let tincctl use the NETNAME environment variable if no -n option is given.
This allows administrators who frequently want to work with one tinc
network to omit the -n option. Since the NETNAME variable is set by
tincd when executing scripts, this makes it slightly easier to use
tincctl from within scripts.

Don't bind outgoing TCP sockets anymore.
The code introduced in commit 41a05f59ba2c3eb5caab555f096ed1b9fbe69ee3 is not
needed anymore, since tinc has been able to handle UDP packets from a different
source address than those of the TCP packets since 1.0.10. When using multiple
BindToAddress statements, this code does not make sense anymore, we do want the
kernel to choose the source address on its own.

Decrement TTL of incoming packets.
Tinc will now, by default, decrement the TTL field of incoming IPv4 and IPv6
packets, before forwarding them to the virtual network device or to another
node. Packets with a TTL value of zero will be dropped, and an ICMP Time
Exceeded message will be sent back.
This behaviour can be disabled using the DecrementTTL option.

Prevent read_rsa_public_key() from returning an uninitialized RSA structure.
In case the config file could not be opened a new but unitialized RSA structure
would be returned, causing a segmentation fault later on. This would only
happen in the case that the config file could be opened before, but not when
read_rsa_public_key() was called. This situation could occur when the --user

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.

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.
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.
