When shutting down a Babel instance we send a wildcard retraction to make
sure all peers can quickly switch to other route origins. Add another small
optimisation borrowed from babeld: sending a Hello message (along with the
retraction) with a very low interval.
This will cause neighbours to modify their expiry timers for the node's
state to quickly time it out, thus conserving resources in the network.
The interface pointer was improperly converted to u32 and back. Fixing
this by explicitly allocating an adata structure for it. It's not so
memory efficient, we'll optimize this later.
When BIRD was munmapping too many pages, it sometimes aborted, saying
that munmap failed with "Not enough memory" as the address space was
getting more and more fragmented.
There is a workaround in place, simply keeping that page for future use,
yet it has never been compiled in because I somehow forgot to include
errno.h. And because I also thought that somebody may have ENOMEM not
defined (why?!), there was a check which quietly omitted that
workaround.
Anyway, ENOMEM is POSIX. It's an utter nonsense to check for its
existence. If it doesn't exist, something is broken.
Add BFD protocol option 'strict bind' to use separate listening socket
for each BFD interface bound to its address instead of using shared
listening sockets.
It is too cryptic to flush tmp_linpool in these cases and we don't want
anybody in the future to break this code by adding an allocation
somewhere which should persist over that flush.
Saving and restoring linpool state is safer.
There were several requests to allow use of 240.0.0.0/4 as a private
range, and Linux kernel already allows such routes, so perhaps we can
allow that too.

When birdc is called with a command as an argument, it should set exit
status to non-zero when BIRD replied with an error reply code.

A recent change in Babel causes ifaces to disappear after
reconfiguration. The patch fixes that.
Thanks to Johannes Kimmel for an insightful bugreport.
Alignment of slabs should be at least sizeof(ptr) to avoid unaligned
pointers in slab structures. Fixme: Use proper way to choose alignment
for internal allocators.
