ec316aa32e Implement privilege dropping
Add two options, -R/--chroot and -U/--user=user, to chroot to the
config directory (where tinc.conf is located) and to perform
setuid to the user specified, after all the initialization is done.

What's left is handling of pid file since we can't remove it anymore.

5674bba5c5 Allow weight to be assigned to Subnets.
Tinc allows multiple nodes to own the same Subnet, but did not have a sensible
way to decide which one to send packets to. Tinc also did not check the
reachability of nodes when deciding where to route packets to, so it would not
automatically fail over to a reachable node.

Tinc now assigns a weight to each Subnet. The default weight is 10, with lower
weights having higher priority.  The Subnets are now internally sorted in the
same way as the kernel's routing table, and the Subnets are search linearly,
skipping those of unreachable nodes. A small cache of recently used addresses
is used to speed up the lookup functions.

228e7a5c8f Apply patch from Scott Lamb adding an output buffer for the TCP sockets.
This helps coalescing multiple send_meta() commands into one TCP packet.
Also limit the size of the output buffer before dropping PACKETs.

d9a62c6354 Added support for packet compression, thanks to Mark Glines.
Add "Compression = <level>" to the host config files, where level can be
0 (off), or any integer between 1 (fast) and 9 (best).
