The maximum packet lifetime (MPL) is a property of the flow that needs
to be passed to the reliable transmission protocol (FRCP) for its
correct operation. Previously, the value of MPL was set fixed as one
of the (fixed) Delta-t parameters. This patch makes the MPL a property
of the layer, and it can now be set per layer-type at build time.
This is a step towards a proper MPL estimator in the flow allocator.

The DHT is now a proper directory policy instead of a unicast IPCP
component.

The policies were all in a single folder pol/, and have been moved to
a folder per component/mechanism to keep things a bit more orderly.

The connection manager and enrolment components of the unicast and
broadcast IPCP have a lot in common, as conjectured in the paper. The
initial implementation of the broadcast IPCP just duplicated the
code. This moves the shared functionality to common ground.

This adds congestion avoidance policies to the unicast IPCP. The
default policy is a multi-bit explicit congestion avoidance algorithm
based on data-center TCP congestion avoidance (DCTCP) to relay
information about the maximum queue depth that packets experienced to
the receiver. There's also a "nop" policy to disable congestion
avoidance for testing and benchmarking purposes.
The (initial) API for congestion avoidance policies is:
void * (* ctx_create)(void);
void (* ctx_destroy)(void * ctx);
These calls create / and or destroy a context for congestion control
for a specific flow. Thread-safety of the context is the
responsability of the flow allocator (operations on the ctx should be
performed under a lock).
ca_wnd_t (* ctx_update_snd)(void * ctx,
size_t len);
This is the sender call to update the context, and should be called
for every packet that is sent on the flow. The len parameter in this
API is the packet length, which allows calculating the bandwidth. It
returns an opaque union type that is used for the call to check/wait
if the congestion window is open or closed (and allowing to release
locks before waiting).
bool (* ctx_update_rcv)(void * ctx,
size_t len,
uint8_t ecn,
uint16_t * ece);
This is the call to update the flow congestion context on the receiver
side. It should be called for every received packet. It gets the ecn
value from the packet and its length, and returns the ECE (explicit
congestion experienced) value to be sent to the sender in case of
congestion. The boolean returned signals whether or not a congestion
update needs to be sent.
void (* ctx_update_ece)(void * ctx,
uint16_t ece);
This is the call for the sending side top update the context when it
receives an ECE update from the receiver.
void (* wnd_wait)(ca_wnd_t wnd);
This is a (blocking) call that waits for the congestion window to
clear. It should be stateless (to avoid waiting under locks). This may
change later on if passing the context is needed for different algorithms.
uint8_t (* calc_ecn)(int fd,
size_t len);
This is the call that intermediate IPCPs(routers) should use to update
the ECN field on passing packets.
The multi-bit ECN policy bases the value for the ECN field on the
depth of the rbuff queue packets will be sent on. I created another
call to grab the queue depth as fccntl is write-locking the
application. We can further optimize this to avoid most locking on the
rbuff.

This adds an equal-cost multipath routing policy to Ouroboros, based
on Nick Aerts' code. When selected, flows will send packets over all
paths with equal cost (hop count). Path selection is round-robin. It
does not yet take into account flows that are down.

This makes the hashtable more tailored to a packet forwarding table
(PFT). In the end not much of a change was needed, but now it's clear
the pft maps a destination address to a list of (outgoing) fds.

The hashtable is only used for forwarding tables in the unicast
IPCP. This moves the generic hashtable out of the library into the
unicast IPCP to prepare a more tailored implementation specific to
routing tables containing address lists.

This completes the renaming of the normal IPCP to the unicast IPCP in
the sources, to get everything consistent with the documentation.
