Move the routing header out of the SPTPS payload.
Give every node in the mesh a unique ID (based on a hash of its name), and
add the ID of the source and destination packet at the start of a UDP
packet, before the SPTPS payload. This allows fast forwarding of packets,
and avoids having to look up nodes based on UDP address/port.
This test suite uses LXC containers to simulate various nodes connected
to each other in different network topologies, and allows for realistic
testing of the MeshLink library.

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.

Add meshlink_set_canonical_address().
This introduces the concept of a canonical address for a node, which is
its "official" address/port. It is only set manually, and never updated
or removed when other addresses have been discovered for this node.
Also, this changed meshlink_add_address(mesh, address) to be equivalent to
meshlink_set_canonical_address(mesh, meshlink_get_self(mesh), address, NULL).
While not strictly equivalent to the old behaviour, it matches the
documented intent of this function.

Use getsockname() to get a listening sockets actual address in meshlink_stop().
This should be better than sending a packet to the listening address,
which might be a link-local address for which a valid scope-id is
necessary, and which might not be in listen_socket.sa.

Try to be smarter generating invitation URLs.
If we have a symbol hostname associated with us, use that. Otherwise, try
to find out which external addresses we have for both IPv4 and IPv6. If we
cannot connect to www.meshlink.io, then use the local address used for
outgoing connections as a fallback. Also, don't forget to add a port number

Allow multiple addresses in an invitation URL.

records associated with that hostname are tried.

Reset UTCP timers after a succesful key exchange.
The problem is that MeshLink does key exchange with peers on-demand. One
has to start a channel for key exchange to be initiated, but it also tries
to send the first SYN packet immediately. This will not work, and then it
has to wait for the retransmit timer to expire before it will try to send
the SYN again. Since the retransmit timer is increased exponentially, this
can potentially take a long time. So when key exchange is finished, we now
force a reset of the timers of all UTCP connections with the peer.

Remove hack to wait for a valid key.
This was obviously only necessary because the missing retransmits of SYN

Fix processing of mixed ID and SPTPS data.
When making a connection with another peer, the ID message and the first
SPTPS data is sent using separate send() calls, but they can be merged
along the way to the other side. When receiving the ID message, we
accidentily discarded the rest of the received packet. Handle this
properly.
The problem was found to trigger much more often on Linux kernel 4.4 in

Use free_known_addresses() to free memory allocated by get_known_addresses().
We know what struct addrinfo looks like, but the standard says nothing about
how it is allocated. So we cannot trust freeaddrinfo() to work correctly on
the struct addrinfo list we allocated ourselves in get_known_addresses().
To make a distinction by allocations from the latter and from str2addrinfo(),
we keep two pointers (*ai and *aip) in struct outgoing, and use the freeing
function that is appropriate for each.
