We can use capsicum for secondary worker processes and hastctl.
When working as primary we drop privileges using chroot+setgid+setuid
still as we need to send ioctl(2)s to ggate device, for which capsicum
doesn't allow (yet).
X-MFC after: capsicum is merged to stable/8
This way we know how to connect to secondary node when we are primary.
The same variable is used by the secondary node - it only accepts
connections from the address stored in 'remote' variable.
In cluster configurations it is common that each node has its individual
IP address and there is one addtional shared IP address which is assigned
to primary node. It seems it is possible that if the shared IP address is
from the same network as the individual IP address it might be choosen by
the kernel as a source address for connection with the secondary node.
Such connection will be rejected by secondary, as it doesn't come from
primary node individual IP.
Add 'source' variable that allows to specify source IP address we want to
bind to before connecting to the secondary node.

connection so the worker will exit if it does not receive packets from
the primary during this interval.

- HOLE - it simply turns all-zero blocks into few bytes header;
it is extremely fast, so it is turned on by default;
it is mostly intended to speed up initial synchronization
where we expect many zeros;
- LZF - very fast algorithm by Marc Alexander Lehmann, which shows
very decent compression ratio and has BSD license.

worker can ask the main privileged process to connect in worker's behalf
and then we can migrate descriptor using this socketpair to worker.
This is not really needed now, but will be needed once we start to use
capsicum for sandboxing.

Accepting connections and handshaking in secondary is still done before
dropping privileges. It should be implemented by only accepting connections in
privileged main process and passing connection descriptors to the worker, but
is not implemented yet.

master process only and pass changes to the worker processes over control
socket. This removes access to global namespace in preparation for capsicum
sandboxing.

races - in this case a keepalive packet was send from wrong thread which
lead to connection dropping, because of corrupted packet.
Fix it by sending keepalive packets directly from the send thread.
As a bonus we now send keepalive packets only when connection is idle.

initialize all the data. This is huge waste of time and resources if
there were no writes yet, as there is no real data to synchronize.
Optimize this by sending "virgin" argument to secondary, which gives it a hint
that synchronization is not needed.
In the common case (where noth nodes are configured at the same time) instead
of synchronizing everything, we don't synchronize at all.

I'm unable to reproduce the race described in comment anymore and also the
comment is incorrect - localfd represents local component from configuration
file, eg. /dev/da0 and not HAST provider.

This way the primary process inherits signal mask from the main process,
which fixes a race where signal is delivered to the primary process before
configuring signal mask.

while the main process sends control message to the worker process, but worker
process hasn't started control thread yet, because it waits for reply from the
main process.
The fix is to start the control thread before sending any events.

limited to async-signal safe functions in the child process), move all hooks
execution to the main (non-threaded) process.
Do it by maintaining connection (socketpair) between child and parent
and sending events from the child to parent, so it can execute the hook.
This is step in right direction for others reasons too. For example there is
one less problem to drop privs in worker processes.
