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
our info about worker processes if any of them was terminated in the meantime.
This fixes the problem with 'hastctl status' running from a hook called on
split-brain:
1. Secondary calls a hooks and terminates.
2. Hook asks for resource status via 'hastctl status'.
3. The main hastd handles the status request by sending it to the secondary
worker who is already dead, but because signals weren't checked yet he
doesn't know that and we get EPIPE.

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.

- Load support for %T for pritning time.
- Add support for %N for printing number in human readable form.
- Add support for %S for printing sockaddr structure (currently only AF_INET
family is supported, as this is all we need in HAST).
- Disable gcc compile-time format checking as this will no longer work.

- 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.

1. The descriptor is the one we are listening on (not the one when we connect
as a client and not the one which is created on accept(2)).
2. Descriptor was created by us (PID matches with the PID stored on bind(2)).

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.

proto_connection_{send,recv} and change them to return proto_conn
structure. We don't operate directly on descriptors, but on
proto_conns.
- Add wrap method to wrap descriptor with proto_conn.
- Remove methods to send and receive descriptors and implement this
functionality as additional argument to send and receive methods.

If timeout argument to proto_connect() is -1, then the caller needs to use
this new function to wait for connection.
This change is in preparation for capsicum, where sandboxed worker wants
to ask main process to connect in worker's behalf and pass descriptor
to the worker. Because we don't want the main process to wait for the
connection, it will start async connection and pass descriptor to the
worker who will be responsible for waiting for the connection to finish.

to syslog if we run in background.
- Asserts in proto.c that method we want to call is implemented and remove
dummy methods from protocols implementation that are only there to abort
the program with nice message.

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.

- chrooting to /var/empty (user hast home directory),
- setting groups to 'hast' (user hast primary group),
- setting real group id, effective group id and saved group id to 'hast',
- setting real user id, effective user id and saved user id to 'hast'.
At the end verify that those operations where successfull.
