When set to a non-zero value, tinc will try to maintain exactly that number of
meta connections to other nodes. If there are not enough connections, it will
periodically try to set up an outgoing connection to a random node. If there
are too many connections, it will periodically try to remove an outgoing
connection.
When starting tincd, tincctl now strips non-options from the command line, and
sets argv[0] to the name of the tincd command instead of copying its own
command name.
When stopping a running tincd, tincctl now waits for it to terminate.
Internally, tinc maintains a directed graph of the meta connections between
nodes. However, this causes graphviz to draw two lines between nodes, which is
not always desirable. The "dump graph" command now defaults to dumping an
undirected graph, the "dump digraph" command will dump a directed graph.
This allows tincctl to receive log messages from a running tincd,
independent of what is logged to syslog or to file. Tincctl can receive
debug messages with an arbitrary level.
This allows administrators who frequently want to work with one tinc
network to omit the -n option. Since the NETNAME variable is set by
tincd when executing scripts, this makes it slightly easier to use
tincctl from within scripts.
sometimes argv[0] will have directory-less name (when the
command is started by shell searching in $PATH for example).
For tincctl start we want the same rules to run tincd as for
tincctl itself (having full path is better but if shell does
not provide one we've no other choice). Previous code tried
to run ./tincd in this case, which is obviously wrong.
This is a fix for the previous commit.

For tincctl start, run tincd from dirname($0) not SBINDIR -
this allows painless alternative directory installation and
running from build directory too.
Also while at it, pass the rest of command line to tincd, not
only options before "start" argument. This way it's possible
to pass options to tincd like this:
tincctl -n net start -- -d 1 -R -U tincuser ...
And also add missing newline at the end of error message there.
