Ensure that everything works when different peer associations use
different private keys, and when the keys, algorithms and groups change
under our feet.

This involves adding a new peer to the keyrings, and inventing a new
keyring.  More interestingly, it also involves plumbing together a
network of three peers, which is where the earlier refactoring of the

server: Use the new kdata system.

Challenges use the algorithms associated with the master key.  This will
continue to be the case, since there isn't a specific private or public
key to associate with the challenge.

It looks like the keyexch subsystem has been turned upside-down, but
apart from the initialization and key refresh it's all just a matter of
adding the necessary indirections into group and algorithm lookups.

Since algorithms are now (logically, at least) distinct for different
peer associations, allow a `peer' argument to the ALGS command, and pass
the correct information to the ifup script so that it can calculate the
MTU properly.

so remove it, and the molly-guard preventing updates to the master key.

server/{keymgmt.c,tripe.h}: Unify public and private key handling.

We introduce a new `kdata' object which represents a particular instance
of a key and remembers all sorts of useful things about it including its
name, associated algorithms, and so on.  It can represent either a
public or private key, since the only difference is whether it has a
private scalar.  These kdata objects are reference counted and exposed
to callers, though the old interface is, for now, retained for
compatibility.

Internally, the private/public split is pushed quite far down using a
`keyhalf' structure to keep track of the differences between the two
kinds.

There's a layer of caching and continuity management.  Each key tag maps
to a `knode' object which represents all the versions (i.e., different
kdata representations) of that key, and allows you to find the current
version.  A kdata object has a reference back to its home knode.

Since private keys are handled (mostly) in the same way as public keys,
there can also be multiple versions of private keys, and multiple
different private keys.  The code maintains a `preferred' private key,
and exports a pointer to its kdata as `master'.

As mentioned, there are some compatibility interfaces in place at the
moment, which maintain the old global key information and prevent
inconsistencies.  For example, currently the `master' kdata is only
allowed to advance if its group matches the previous one.  The plan is
to remove this global information, and allow peers to use different
versions of different private keys; peers will be responsible for
ensuring the consistency of the keys they use, and will be able to do
this without interfering with each other.

numbers rapidly.  If any peer has the `-mobile' flag (PSF_MOBILE) set,
and a MSG_PACKET message arrives from an unexpected source, see if any
of the `-mobile' peers can decrypt it: if so, update the peer's address
rather than rejecting the packet.

This is inefficient because it involves a linear search of the peer
list.  If this turns out to be a problem, we can make some protocol
changes (e.g., inserting a peer hint into the packet) later.

Note that an adversary can deny service by capturing legitimate packets
from a mobile source and sending them on with a different address.  The
peer will assume that the target's address has changed.  But to make
this work effectively, the adversary's packet has to reach the target
before (or instead of) the legitimate one, or else the bogus packet will
be rejected for having a duplicate sequence number.  The next packet
received unmodified from the source will switch the target's idea of the
source's address back again anyway.  An adversary who can consistently
prevent packets from being delivered can trivially deny service anyway,
so this isn't actually much of a concern.

svc/watch.in: Check that the crypto is working in adopted peers.

Previously we only checked for transport.  This can leave a duff peer
running without being fixed.  The downside is that this may end up
repeatedly kicking a no-hoper connection.  Treat crypto setup failure as
grounds for reconnection.
