Hippotat (IP over HTTP) 1.1.7

I'm pleased to announce Hippotat 1.1.7.

This is the latest release of my IP-over-HTTP system.

Summary of changes since the last publicly *announced* release:

 * New "hippotat-setup-permissions" script for helping set up
   userv-utils ipif, and authbind.

 * Improvment to the --print-config option, now known to hippotatd too.
 * Improved error message about failure to initialise syslog.
 * Improved error reporting of ipif failures (and debug loggong).

 * Packaging and build system and installation instruction improvements.

 * Much work to try to get automatic tests working in Debian CI.
   Sadly this was not successful, but I do have local automatic tests.

hippotat is now in Debian unstable, and (barring upheavals in Debian's
Rust packages) I think it will be in the next release, bookworm.


There are full documentation and installation instructions:
  https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ianmdlvl/hippotat/current/docs/

hippotat source, for building, can be obtained from Debian Salsa
  https://salsa.debian.org/iwj/hippotat
(look for the signed tag hippotat-1.1.7).

The Rust code for building the executables is also available via
the upstream Rust packaging system crates.io, as the package `hippotat`,
for those who like that kind of thing.

Binaries will be available from Debian in due course.
