There's not need to keep these states as they always follow the
init/start/stop/fini flow.

The IPCP_CONN_WAIT_DIR build option is not needed anymore with the
recent update to the DHT. Also cleans up some logging in the IPCP.

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

<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

        contacts: [1]
          [a62f92abffb451c4|9f:0d:c1:fb]

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

<title>lib: Fix flow timeouts after flow allocation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2c077312b4f6236288da7df1caeb6cbaf6f83afd</id>
<content type='text'>
There were two timeout bugs in the flow allocation steps.

Found these when debugging why some links were always timing out in
one direction.

The first bug only affects flows going through the connection manager
in the IPCP (such as the management flow used by the link state
routing component. The connection manager was setting a timeout on the
flow for its handling connection establishment, but didn't reset that
timeout before handing the flow to the internal component after the
CEP was complete. The link-state routing component was showing flow
read timeouts (ETIMEDOUT) without setting one. This was not causing
the links to time out.

The second one was that the IPCP was keeping the qosspec from on the
np1 flow, which, when the qosspec requested for the applicatoin had a
keepalive set, would always time out. This bug was the root cause for
some link advertisements not to be read and links to time out in the
link-state routing component.

The Common Application Connection Establishment Protocol (CACEP) is a
RINA construct associated with the Common Distributed Application
Protocol (CDAP). We dropped CDAP as O7s sees connection establishment
as common to all applications (though it can be a nop). The wiki
already refers to this as (O7s) Connection Establishment Protocol
(CEP).

The connection manager will now timeout waiting for CEP messages to
avoid hanging forever, configurable at build time via
CONNMGR_RCV_TIMEOUT.

reduce duplicate messages in nested functions.
