tipc: introduce new unified address type for internal use

We introduce a simplified version of struct sockaddr_tipc, using
anonymous unions and structures. Apart from being nicer to work with,
this struct will come in handy when we in a later commit add another
address type.

tipc: make node number calculation reproducible

The 32-bit node number, aka node hash or node address, is calculated
based on the 128-bit node identity when it is not set explicitly by
the user. In future commits we will need to perform this hash operation
on peer nodes while feeling safe that we obtain the same result.

We do this by interpreting the initial hash as a network byte order
number. Whenever we need to use the number locally on a node
we must therefore translate it to host byte order to obtain an
architecure independent result.

Furthermore, given the context where we use this number, we must not
allow it to be zero unless the node identity also is zero. Hence, in
the rare cases when the xor-ed hash value may end up as zero we replace
it with a fix number, knowing that the code anyway is capable of
handling hash collisions.

tipc: initialise addr_trail_end when setting node addresses

We set the field 'addr_trial_end' to 'jiffies', instead of the current
value 0, at the moment the node address is initialized. This guarantees
we don't inadvertently enter an address trial period when the node
address is explicitly set by the user.

tipc: handle collisions of 32-bit node address hash values

When a 32-bit node address is generated from a 128-bit identifier,
there is a risk of collisions which must be discovered and handled.

We do this as follows:
- We don't apply the generated address immediately to the node, but do
instead initiate a 1 sec trial period to allow other cluster members
to discover and handle such collisions.

- During the trial period the node periodically sends out a new type
of message, DSC_TRIAL_MSG, using broadcast or emulated broadcast,
to all the other nodes in the cluster.

- When a node is receiving such a message, it must check that the
presented 32-bit identifier either is unused, or was used by the very
same peer in a previous session. In both cases it accepts the request
by not responding to it.

- If it finds that the same node has been up before using a different
address, it responds with a DSC_TRIAL_FAIL_MSG containing that
address.

- If it finds that the address has already been taken by some other
node, it generates a new, unused address and returns it to the
requester.

- During the trial period the requesting node must always be prepared
to accept a failure message, i.e., a message where a peer suggests a
different (or equal) address to the one tried. In those cases it
must apply the suggested value as trial address and restart the trial
period.

This algorithm ensures that in the vast majority of cases a node will
have the same address before and after a reboot. If a legacy user
configures the address explicitly, there will be no trial period and
messages, so this protocol addition is completely backwards compatible.

tipc: add 128-bit node identifier

We add a 128-bit node identity, as an alternative to the currently used
32-bit node address.

For the sake of compatibility and to minimize message header changes
we retain the existing 32-bit address field. When not set explicitly by
the user, this field will be filled with a hash value generated from the
much longer node identity, and be used as a shorthand value for the
latter.

We permit either the address or the identity to be set by configuration,
but not both, so when the address value is set by a legacy user the
corresponding 128-bit node identity is generated based on the that value.

tipc: allow closest-first lookup algorithm when legacy address is configured

The removal of an internal structure of the node address has an unwanted
side effect.
- Currently, if a user is sending an anycast message with destination
domain 0, the tipc_namebl_translate() function will use the 'closest-
first' algorithm to first look for a node local destination, and only
when no such is found, will it resort to the cluster global 'round-
robin' lookup algorithm.
- Current users can get around this, and enforce unconditional use of
global round-robin by indicating a destination as Z.0.0 or Z.C.0.
- This option disappears when we make the node address flat, since the
lookup algorithm has no way of recognizing this case. So, as long as
there are node local destinations, the algorithm will always select
one of those, and there is nothing the sender can do to change this.

We solve this by eliminating the 'closest-first' option, which was never
a good idea anyway, for non-legacy users, but only for those. To
distinguish between legacy users and non-legacy users we introduce a new
flag 'legacy_addr_format' in struct tipc_core, to be set when the user
configures a legacy-style Z.C.N node address. Hence, when a legacy user
indicates a zero lookup domain 'closest-first' is selected, and in all
other cases we use 'round-robin'.

tipc: remove restrictions on node address values

Nominally, TIPC organizes network nodes into a three-level network
hierarchy consisting of the levels 'zone', 'cluster' and 'node'. This
hierarchy is reflected in the node address format, - it is sub-divided
into an 8-bit zone id, and 12 bit cluster id, and a 12-bit node id.

However, the 'zone' and 'cluster' levels have in reality never been
fully implemented,and never will be. The result of this has been
that the first 20 bits the node identity structure have been wasted,
and the usable node identity range within a cluster has been limited
to 12 bits. This is starting to become a problem.

In the following commits, we will need to be able to connect between
nodes which are using the whole 32-bit value space of the node address.
We therefore remove the restrictions on which values can be assigned
to node identity, -it is from now on only a 32-bit integer with no
assumed internal structure.

Isolation between clusters is now achieved only by setting different
values for the 'network id' field used during neighbor discovery, in
practice leading to the latter becoming the new cluster identity.

The rules for accepting discovery requests/responses from neighboring
nodes now become:

- If the user is using legacy address format on both peers, reception
of discovery messages is subject to the legacy lookup domain check
in addition to the cluster id check.

- Otherwise, the discovery request/response is always accepted, provided
both peers have the same network id.

This secures backwards compatibility for users who have been using zone
or cluster identities as cluster separators, instead of the intended
'network id'.

tipc: obsolete TIPC_ZONE_SCOPE

Publications for TIPC_CLUSTER_SCOPE and TIPC_ZONE_SCOPE are in all
aspects handled the same way, both on the publishing node and on the
receiving nodes.

Despite previous ambitions to the contrary, this is never going to change,
so we take the conseqeunce of this and obsolete TIPC_ZONE_SCOPE and related
macros/functions. Whenever a user is doing a bind() or a sendmsg() attempt
using ZONE_SCOPE we translate this internally to CLUSTER_SCOPE, while we
remain compatible with users and remote nodes still using ZONE_SCOPE.

Furthermore, the non-formalized scope value 0 has always been permitted
for use during lookup, with the same meaning as ZONE_SCOPE/CLUSTER_SCOPE.
We now permit it even as binding scope, but for compatibility reasons we
choose to not change the value of TIPC_CLUSTER_SCOPE.

tipc: simplify include dependencies

When we try to add new inline functions in the code, we sometimes
run into circular include dependencies.

The main problem is that the file core.h, which really should be at
the root of the dependency chain, instead is a leaf. I.e., core.h
includes a number of header files that themselves should be allowed
to include core.h. In reality this is unnecessary, because core.h does
not need to know the full signature of any of the structs it refers to,
only their type declaration.

In this commit, we remove all dependencies from core.h towards any
other tipc header file.

As a consequence of this change, we can now move the function
tipc_own_addr(net) from addr.c to addr.h, and make it inline.

There are no functional changes in this commit.

tipc: fix two bugs in secondary destination lookup

A message sent to a node after a successful name table lookup may still
find that the destination socket has disappeared, because distribution
of name table updates is non-atomic. If so, the message will be rejected
back to the sender with error code TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT. If the source
socket of the message has disappeared in the meantime, the message
should be dropped.

However, in the currrent code, the message will instead be subject to an
unwanted tertiary lookup, because the function tipc_msg_lookup_dest()
doesn't check if there is an error code present in the message before
performing the lookup. In the worst case, the message may now find the
old destination again, and be redirected once more, instead of being
dropped directly as it should be.

A second bug in this function is that the "prev_node" field in the message
is not updated after successful lookup, something that may have
unpredictable consequences.

The problems arising from those bugs occur very infrequently.

The third change in this function; the test on msg_reroute_msg_cnt() is
purely cosmetic, reflecting that the returned value never can be negative.

This commit corrects the two bugs described above.

tipc: make tipc node address support net namespace

If net namespace is supported in tipc, each namespace will be treated
as a separate tipc node. Therefore, every namespace must own its
private tipc node address. This means the "tipc_own_addr" global
variable of node address must be moved to tipc_net structure to
satisfy the requirement. It's turned out that users also can assign
node address for every namespace.

Gets rid of the need for users to specify the maximum number of

support for all 4K nodes allowed by its addressing scheme.

Note: This change sets TIPC's memory usage to the amount used by
a maximum size node table with 4K entries. An upcoming patch that
converts the node table from a linear array to a hash table will
compact the node table to a more efficient design, but for clarity
