Add simple buffer management code.
Libevent 2.0's buffer code is not completely backward compatible with 1.4's.
In order to not (mis)use it anymore, we implement it ourselves. The buffers
are automatically expanding when necessary. When consuming data from the
buffer, no memmove()s are performed. Only when adding to the buffer would
write past the end do we shift everything back to the start.

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.

Prevent anything from updating our own UDP address.
Because we don't want to keep track of that, and this will cause the node
structure from being relinked into the node tree, which results in myself
pointing to an invalid address.

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.

Replace bogus #else with #endif.
Found by cppcheck, which complained about lenin not being initialized, but the
real problem is that reading packets would fail when using code compiled with

Always send MTU probes at least once every PingInterval.
Before, if MTU probes failed, tinc would stop sending probes until the next
time keys were regenerated (by default, once every hour). Now it continues to
send them every PingInterval, so it recovers faster from temporary failures.

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.

Treat netname "." in a special way as if there was no netname

Merge local host configuration with server configuration.
With some exceptions, tinc only accepted host configuration options for the
local node from the corresponding host configuration file. Although this is
documented, many people expect that they can also put those options in
tinc.conf. Tinc now internally merges the contents of both tinc.conf and the
local host configuration file.

Detect and prevent two nodes with the same Name being on the VPN simultaneously.
In this situation, the two nodes will start fighting over the edges they announced.
When we have to contradict both ADD_EDGE and DEL_EDGE messages, we log a warning,
and with 25% chance per PingTimeout we quit.
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
literally to other nodes. However, it is not guaranteed that all nodes have
the same contents in /etc/services, or have such a file at all.

Fixed metadata protokoll corruption on forwarded requests
When forwarding a metadata request through forward_request() we were
adding the required newline char to our buffer, but then sending the
data without it - this results in the forwarded request and the next one
to be garbled together.
Additionally while at it add a warning comment that request string is
not zero terminated anymore after a call to the forward_request()
function - for now this is ok as it is not used by any caller after this.

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.

Add the DirectOnly option.
When this option is enabled, packets that cannot be sent directly to the destination node,
but which would have to be forwarded by an intermediate node, are dropped instead.

Add the Forwarding option.
This determines if and how incoming packets that are not meant for the local
