to set the interface ip, subnet, and broadcast address simultaneously.
The advantage of this approach is that a single netlink notification
will be sent rather than multiple messages as the ip, subnet,
and broadcast address are set one at a time.
Currently this function is not used, as it will require a wire format
change that will be introduced in a subsequent commit.
This change also modifies the ndhc/ifchd wire protocol slightly. The
new protocol doesn't overload the ':' character as a key:value separator
and a statement separator. Instead ';' is now used as a statement separator.
The new format allows for more robust error-checking and reporting, and it
greatly simplifies the parser. Old versions of ndhc/ifchd will not work
properly with ones compiled after this commit.
The 'domain' and 'search' keywords in resolv.conf updates are now used
more precisely. The first domain in an update is the 'domain', and the
subsequent 5 domains are 'search' domains.
There are also supporting cleanups that pass struct ifchd_client pointers
to functions instead of passing index values.
This commit is large, but it cannot really be broken up into smaller
chunks since the changes are dependent on each other.
Handle EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK more gracefully when dealing with safe_read().
All occurrences of safe_read() should only be invoked on fds that have signaled
ready-to-read state via the epoll() mechanism, so this change should not
result in any observable difference, but it is best to be safe.
Additionally, a constant stack variable is converted to an equivalent
macro define for cleanliness.
Finally, print the error type encountered if reading data from an ARP response
fails with a read error.
