The event loop does not guarantee that spurious write I/O events do not
happen; in fact, they are guaranteed to happen on Windows when
event_flush_output() is called. Because handle_meta_io() does not check
for spurious events, a metaconnection socket might appear connected even
though it's not, and will fail immediately when sending the ID request.
This commit fixes this issue by making handle_meta_io() check the
connection status before assuming the socket is connected. It seems that
the only reliable way to do that is to try to call connect() again and
look at the error code, which will be EISCONN if the socket is
connected, or EALREADY if it's not.
The length parameter for the encoding functions is the length of the
binary input, and for the decoding functions it is the maximum size of
the binary output.
The return value is always the length of the resulting output, excluding
the terminating NULL character for the encoding routines.
All functions can encode and decode in-place. The encoding functions
will always write a terminating NULL character, and the decoding
functions will stop at a NULL character.
The utility functions in the lib/ directory do not really form a library.
Also, now that we build two binaries, tincctl does not need everything that was
in libvpn.a, so it is wasteful to link to it.
