New release of the userspace network stack.

Short changelog:

  • really fixed leak in raw netchannel reading path
  • changed timestamp setup
  • added retransmit checking timer
  • added sanity checks for addresses and ports processed in the stack - in case of packet socket they can be incorect some times (when working over loopback for example)
  • retransmit logic checks - still requires bits of work, it is not 100% correct
This rlease contains number of really useful fixes, but retransmit logic is not yet correct. Since unetstack uses very aggressive (non-rfc-compliant) congestion control algorithm, this can lead (and I see this in practice) to complete dataflow suspending.
I will investigate this problem further later.
