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

<title>irmd: Add flow authentication</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e35302ca0ab64edd21b9d8e40d3aa74a3a4f4f7e</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds initial implementation of peer authentication as part of
flow allocation. If credentials are not provided, this will be
accepted and logged as info that the flow is not authenticated.

Certificates and keys are passed as .pem files. The key file should
not be encrypted, else the IRMd will open a prompt for the password.
The default location for these .pem files is in
/etc/ouroboros/security. It is strongly recommended to make this
directory only accessible to root.

├── security
│   ├── cacert
│   │   └── ca.root.o7s.crt.pem
│   ├── client
│   │   ├── &lt;name&gt;
│   │   |   ├── crt.pem
│   │   |   └── key.pem
│   │   └── &lt;name&gt;
|   |       ├──...
|   |
│   ├── server
│   │   ├── &lt;name&gt;
│   │   |   ├── crt.pem
│   │   |   └── key.pem
│   │   └── &lt;name&gt;
|   |       ├── ...
|   |
│   └── untrusted
│       └── sign.root.o7s.crt.pem

Trusted root CA certificates go in the /cacert directory, untrusted
certificates for signature verification go in the /untrusted
directory. The IRMd will load these certificates at boot.  The IRMd
will look for certificates in the /client and /server directories. For
each name a subdirectory can be added and the credentials in that
directory are used to sign the OAP header for flows at flow_alloc() on
the client side and flow_accept() on the server side.

These defaults can be changed at build time using the following
variables (in alphabetical order):
 OUROBOROS_CA_CRT_DIR             /etc/ouroboros/security/cacert
 OUROBOROS_CLI_CRT_DIR            /etc/ouroboros/security/client
 OUROBOROS_SECURITY_DIR           /etc/ouroboros/security
 OUROBOROS_SRV_CRT_DIR            /etc/ouroboros/security/server
 OUROBOROS_UNTRUSTED_DIR          /etc/ouroboros/security/untrusted

The directories for the names can also be configured at IRMd boot
using the configuraton file and at runtime when a name is created
using the "irm name create" CLI tool. The user needs to have
permissions to access the keyfile and certificate when specifying the
paths with the "irm name create" CLI tool.

<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.

<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.

This moves the protobuf definition in the library to a pb/
directory. Also renames the protobuf files and does a quick review of
the #define guards in the include library to specify _LIB_ for
internal/non-public library headers.
