This fixes a regression in the code path for joining a broadcast
Layer. It deprecates the qos parameter on flow_join, as the QoS is
implied by the broadcast Layer itself.

<title>ipcpd: Update DHT for unicast layer</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ouroboros.rocks/cgit/ouroboros/commit/?id=fa1af6aaed6a46acd0af1600f4c63e79fcf9ff84'/>
<id>urn:sha1:fa1af6aaed6a46acd0af1600f4c63e79fcf9ff84</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a rewrite of the DHT for name-to-address resolution in the
unicast layer. It is now integrated as a proper directory policy. The
dir_wait_running function is removed, instead the a DHT peer is passed
on during IPCP enrolment.

Each DHT request/response gets a random 64-bit ID ('cookie'). DHT
messages to the same peer are deduped, except in the case when the DHT
is low on contacts. In that case, it will contact the per it received
at enrolment for more contacts. To combat packet loss, these messages
are not deduped by means of a 'magic cookie', chosen at random when
the DHT starts.

The DHT parameters (Kademlia) can be set using the configfile or the
IRM command line tools:

if DIRECTORY_POLICY == DHT
        [dht_alpha &lt;search factor&gt; (default: 3)]
        [dht_k &lt;replication factor&gt; (default: 8)]
        [dht_t_expire &lt;expiration (s)&gt; (default: 86400)]
        [dht_t_refresh &lt;contact refresh (s)&gt; (default: 900)]
        [dht_t_replicate &lt;replication (s)&gt; (default: 900)]

This commit also adds support for a protocol debug level (PP).
Protocol debugging for the DHT can be enabled using the
DEBUG_PROTO_DHT build flag.

The DHT has the following message types:

DHT_STORE, sent to k peers. Not acknowledged.

    DHT_STORE --&gt; [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4].
      key: bcc236ab6ec69e65 [32 bytes]
      val: 00000000c4e2d9ed [8 bytes]
      exp: 2025-08-03 17:29:44 (UTC).

DHT_FIND_NODE_REQ, sent to 'alpha' peers, with a corresponding
response. This is used to update the peer routing table to iteratively
look for the nodes with IDs closest to the requested key.

    DHT_FIND_NODE_REQ --&gt; [a62f92abffb451c4|ed:d9:e2:c4].
      cookie: 2d4b7acef8308210
      key:    a62f92abffb451c4 [32 bytes]

    DHT_FIND_NODE_RSP &lt;-- [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4].
      cookie: 2d4b7acef8308210
      key:    a62f92abffb451c4 [32 bytes]
      contacts: [1]
        [a62f92abffb451c4|9f:0d:c1:fb]

DHT_FIND_VALUE_REQ, sent to 'k' peers, with a corresponding
response. Used to find a value for a key. Will also send its closest
known peers in the response.

    DHT_FIND_VALUE_REQ --&gt; [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4].
      cookie: 80a1adcb09a2ff0a
      key:    42dee3b0415b4f69 [32 bytes]

    DHT_FIND_VALUE_RSP &lt;-- [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4].
      cookie: 80a1adcb09a2ff0a
      key:    42dee3b0415b4f69 [32 bytes]
        values: [1]
          00000000c4e2d9ed [8 bytes]
        contacts: [1]
          [a62f92abffb451c4|9f:0d:c1:fb]

Also removes ubuntu 20 from appveyor config as it is not supported anymore.

This is how the ProtoBufCBinary data type is defined, so it will allow
easier conversion until we get rid of it. But it makes sense, as the
size_t will always be aligned.

file instead of exposed all over the place.

This revises the application flow allocator to use the flow_info
struct/message between the components. Revises the messaging to move
the use protocol buffers to its own source (serdes-irm).

Adds a timeout to the IRMd flow allocator to make sure flow
allocations don't hang forever (this was previously taken care of by
the sanitize thread).

<id>urn:sha1:06ee3370998f965b469d1c2859e3e34159c71e20</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a full revision of the IRMd internal implementation.

The registry is now a proper subcomponent managing its own internal
lock (a single mutex). Some tests are added for the registry and its
data structures. Some macros for tests are added in &lt;ouroboros/test.h&gt;.

Flow allocation is now more symmetric between the client side (alloc)
and server size (accept). Each will create a flow in pending state
(ALLOC_PENDING/ACCEPT_PENDING) that is potentially fulfilled by an
IPCP using respond_alloc and respond_accept primitives. Deallocation
is split in flow_dealloc (application side) and ipcp_flow_dealloc
(IPCP side) to get the flow in DEALLOC_PENDING and DEALLOCATED state.

Cleanup of failed flow allocation is now properly handled instead of
relying on the sanitizer thread. The new sanitizer only needs to
monitor crashed processes.

On shutdown, the IRMd will now detect hanging processes and SIGKILL
them and clean up their fuse mountpoints if needed.

A lot of other things have been cleaned up and shuffled around a bit.

Some definitions/enums were different between the library and IRMd
(flow_state, ipcp_state). This moves them to common ground.

The layer_info had a member layer_name which is a bit
redundant.
