I rewrote the interface handling code, so that it supports multiple
addresses per interface (needed for example for IPv6 support).

Visible changes:

o struct iface now contains a list of all interface addresses (represented
by struct ifa), iface->addr points to the primary address (if any)....

Removed TOS support. This simplifies many things a lot.

More changes to the kernel syncer.

o Now compatible with filtering.
o Learning of kernel routes supported only on CONFIG_SELF_CONSCIOUS
systems (on the others it's impossible to get it semantically correct).
o Learning now stores all of its routes in a separate fib and selects...

Remember that we can run device syncer without kernel syncer
and vice versa now.

Cleaned up system configuration files -- removed few obsolete parameters,
documented the remaining ones (sysdep/cf/README).

Available configurations:

o  linux-20: Old Linux interface via /proc/net/route (selected by default
        on pre-2.1 kernels).
   o  linux-21: Old Linux interface, but device routes handled by the...

Moved to a much more systematic way of configuring kernel protocols.

o  Nothing is configured automatically. You need to specify
     the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started.
  o  Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and...

Removed our declaration of RTPROT_BIRD since Alexey has assigned
us a real protocol number in 2.2.4 kernel.

Fixed processing of !krt_capable() routes. Converted device route decisions
to the krt_capable mechanism as well.

KRT: Implemented asynchronous route / interface state notifications
(via Netlink). Tweaked kernel synchronization rules a bit. Discovered
locking bug in kernel Netlink :-)

Future plans: Hunt all the bugs and solve all the FIXME's.

Although there are still heaps of FIXME's, Netlink works.

To build BIRD with Netlink support, just configure it with

./configure --with-sysconfig=linux-21

After it will be tested well enough, I'll probably make it a default
for 2.2 kernels (and rename it to linux-22 :)).
