Due to [1], linking with SCTP sometimes does not multi-home correctly.
This is triggered by the rand() on the lines immediately above these.
The connect{} blocks already support an `aftype` parameter to instruct
IRCd to prefer IPv4 or IPv6. This commit additionally ensures that the
other structure is always populated with the other address (if any) if
this parameter is specified.
This will allow SCTP server-linking users to work around the bug and
ensure that it always multi-homes by setting `connect::aftype` to IPv4.
Without this commit, that would cause Solanum to not include the IPv6
addresses (if any) in the connect block in its SCTP setup.
If there isn't a valid IP address in the other sockaddr, this should be
of no consequence, because it will not be used by rb_connect_tcp(), and
both rb_connect_sctp() and rb_sctp_bindx_only() already verify that
there is a valid IP address in the sockaddr before making use of it.

Move opername and privset storage to struct User, so it can exist for
remote opers.
On /oper and when bursting opers, send:
:foo OPER opername privset
which sets foo's opername and privset. The contents of the privset on
remote servers come from the remote server's config, so the potential
for confusion exists if these do not match.
If an oper's privset does not exist on a server that sees it, it will
complain, but create a placeholder privset. If the privset is created by
a rehash, this will be reflected properly.
/privs is udpated to take an optional argument, the server to query, and
is now local by default:
/privs [[nick_or_server] nick]
Links that are 'no-export' are not distributed to the rest of the IRC network (including local peers).
This provides a core primitive for 'anycasting' services (but the actual issue of synchronizing data in
a services package is left to the authors of the services package).
Don't use the librb callback type as we're always passing client_p.
Provide a return value so that the connect handler can exit_client()
and the accept handler can opt to use the default dead handler.
Fix the server connection configuration so that it can simultaneously
handle a hostname/IPv4/IPv6 for connecting and a hostname/IPv4/IPv6
for binding. Maintains backwards compatibility for matching a hostname
with a mask.
Multiple host/vhost entries can be specified and the last value for
each address family is stored. Hostnames that resolve automatically
overwrite the IP address.
Server connections can now be made to either IPv4 or IPv6 at random
as well as preferring a specific address family.
This also lays the groundwork for the netjoin batch type, but that isn't
implemented yet. I don't like how some of this is implemented but it'll
have to do for now...
Compile tested, needs more testing.
now connid's are allocated on demand and clients may have as many connid's as necessary.
this allows us to build chains of helpers while ensuring the ircd properly tracks and GCs the resources.
Charybdis requires C99 already, so it's high time we start using
stdbool. I've converted a few pieces of code already.
A lot of the old code that uses YES/NO should probably be updated too
because that's fucking hideous.
