Use condition variables to wait for threads to finish initializing.
To prevent a race condition when calling meshlink_stop() right after
meshlink_start(), we need to wait for the MeshLink and Catta threads to
finish initializing before we can return from meshlink_start().

Correctly update device class when receiving an ADD_EDGE message.
In some cases we didn't update the device class information when receiving
an ADD_EDGE message. This could cause autoconnect to fail to work as
expected.
Catta only works on Ethernet interfaces. However, if there is a
non-Ethernet interface, MeshLink might still be able to connect to
peers. So just rely on getifaddrs() for checking whether to terminate
connections or not.
Close connections if the local address is no longer valid.
When we detect that there are changes on the network interfaces, check for
each active connection whether the local side of the connection has an
address that exists on at least one network interface. If not, then
communication via that connection is not possible. Instead of waiting for
a timeout, immediately terminate those connections.
Speed up reconnections on network interface changes.
Catta informs us whenever an interface comes online or goes offline. If we
detect that there are no online interfaces, immediately terminate all meta-
connections. Otherwise, reset the ping timers and reconnection timers for
outgoing connections.
Inform UTCP when a node is offline, so it will start connection timeouts.
When there are open channels to a node that is offline for longer than the
connection timeout, the channels will be marked closed, and callbacks will
be fired.

Speed up initial autoconnect after joining a mesh.
When we just joined a mesh, we quickly want to establish redundant
connections. We do this by resetting the outgoing timer if we receive a
public key for a node that we are trying to connect to, and by speeding up
the autoconnect algorithm if we don't have 3 connections (in progress) yet.

Autoconnect to reachable nodes without known public keys
We must allow the autoconnect algorithm to try connections to nodes that
are online but for which we don't have a public key, otherwise we risk
that no connections are formed at all, except to the inviting node.

Various fixes for the encrypted storage support.
- create_initial_config_files() and node_write_config() are now the only
functions that generate the content of new config files from scratch.
- All public API functions that change config files now immediately
write them out.
- Config files of nodes that join using an invitation file are immediately
written out.
- Ensure nodes marked dirty have their config files written out in
periodic_handler(), and on meshlink_stop().
- Fix some memory leaks.
- Write out updated config files, and recreate mesh->self in meshlink_set_port().

Add functions to get the amount of bytes in chanenl send and receive buffers.
meshlink_channel_get_sendq() and meshlink_channel_get_recvq() call the
underlying UTCP connection's utcp_get_sendq() and utcp_get_recvq().
These return the amount of bytes waiting in the send and receive buffers.

Provide a way to open MeshLink in its own network namespace.

Always add both CanonicalAddress and any local address to the invitation URL.
We don't know in advance if the invitee will be on the LAN or outside
the LAN, and because hairpin routing is not working on many home
routers, it is safer to add all possible addresses.
Also, add the port number to each individual address in the URL, instead
of allowing only one port number.

Add duplicate node detection callback.
MeshLink can detect if two nodes are online simultaneously using the same
Name. Normally, one or both of the duplicate nodes will terminate its
connection. Now there is a duplicate node callback that will be called when
the local node detects a duplicate node. One use for this is to blacklist
the duplicate node and/or notify the user of the problem.
Add COPYING.README, detailing license obligations for users of MeshLink.
MeshLink itself depends on other libraries, and this document mainly
summarizes what obligations users of the MeshLink library have when they
distribute their software in binary form.
