Many changes in (mainly) kernel syncers.
- BSD kernel syncer is now self-conscious and can learn alien routes - important bugfix in BSD kernel syncer (crash after protocol restart) - many minor changes and bugfixes in kernel syncers and neighbor cache - direct protocol does not generate host and link local routes - min_scope check is removed, all routes have SCOPE_UNIVERSE by default - also fixes some remaining compiler warnings
