[PATCH v4 00/17] RFC: Dynamic configuration update implementation

[David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>]

Here's the next draft of dynamic configuration updates.  This now can
successfully update rules, though I've not tested it very extensively.

Patches 1..7/17 are preliminary reworks that make sense even without
pesto - feel free to apply if you're happy with them.  I don't think
the rest should be applied yet; we need to at least harden it so passt
can't be blocked indefinitely by a client which sends a partial update
then waits.

Based on my earlier series reworking static checking invocation.

TODO:
 - Have pestos connecting to passt which already have a client
   attached block, instead of being rejected
 - Don't allow a client which sends a partial configuration then
   blocks also block passt
 - Allow pesto to clear existing configuration, not just add
 - Allow pesto selectively delete existing rules, not just add

Changes in v4:
 * Merged with remainder of forward rule parsing rework series
   * Fix some bugs in rule checking pointed out by Laurent
 * Significantly cleaned up option parsing code
 * Changed from replacing all existing rules to adding new rules
   (clear and remove still TBD)
 * Somewhat simplified protocol (pif names and rules sent in a single
   pass)
 * pesto is now allocation free
 * Fixed commit message and style nits pointed out by Stefano
Changes in v3:
 * Removed already applied ASSERT() rename
 * Renamed serialisation functions
 * Incorporated Stefano's extensions, reworked and fixed
 * Several additional cleanups / preliminary reworks
Changes in v2:
 * Removed already applied cleanups
 * Reworked assert() patch to handle -DNDEBUG properly
 * Numerous extra patches:
   * Factored out serialisation helpers and use them for migration as
     well
   * Reworked to allow ip.[ch] and inany.[ch] to be shared with pesto
   * Reworks to share some forwarding rule datatypes with pesto
   * Implemented sending pif names and current ruleset to pesto
