gardners b075b51c43 Merged overlay_payload and overlay_frame structures to just overlay_frame
which is now used for both encapsulation and decapsulation.
Improved payload length encoding scheme to be shorter for most payload
lengths.
selfannouncement frames now get directed to stub functions for
implementation.

/*
Overlay packets are ensembles contain one or more frames each of which
should be handled separately.
There are two main types of enclosed frame.
1. Announcement frames which contain information that helps to maintain the
operation of the mesh.
and
2. Data frames that contain messages directed to nodes on the mesh.
In both instances we allow the contained addresses to be shortened to save bandwidth,
especially for low-bandwidth links.
All frames have the following fields:
Frame type (8-24bits)
TTL (8bits)
Remaining frame size (RFS) (see overlay_payload.c or overlay_buffer.c for explanation of format)
Next hop (variable length due to address abbreviation)
Destination (variable length due to address abbreviation)*
Source (variable length due to address abbreviation)*
Payload (length = RFS- len(frame type) - len(next hop)*
This structure is intended to allow relaying nodes to quickly ignore frames that are
not addressed to them as either the next hop or final destination.
The RFS field uses additional bytes to encode the length of longer frames.
This provides us with a slight space saving for the common case of short frames.
* Indicates fields that may be encrypted. The source and destination addresses can
be encrypted for paranoid traffic so that only the hops along the route know who is
talking to whom. This is not totally secure, but does prevent collateral eaves dropping
of frames by 4th parties. Paranoid communities could elect to only use nodes they trust
to carry the frame. And finally, the frame payload itself can be enciphered with the
final destination's public key, so that it is not possible even for the relaying 3rd
parties to observe the content.
Naturally some information will leak simply based on the size, periodicity and other
characteristics of the traffic, and some 3rd parties may be malevolent, so noone should
assume that this provides complete security.
Paranoid mode introduces a bandwidth cost of one signature, and a potentially substantial
energy cost of requiring every node along the delivery path to decrypt and reencrypt the
frame.
It would also be possible to design a super-paranoid mode where source routing is used with
concentric shells of encryption so that each hop can only work out the next hop to send it
to. However, that would result in rather large frames, and require an on-demand routing
approach which may well betray more information than the super-paranoid mode would hide.
Note also that it is possible to dispatch frames on a local link which are addressed to
broadcast, but are enciphered. In that situation only the intended recipient can
decode the frame, but at the cost of having all nodes on the local link having to decrypt
frame. Of course the nodes may elect to not decrypt such anonymous frames.
Such frames could even be flooded throughout part of the mesh by having the TTL>1, and
optionally with an anonymous source address to provide some plausible deniability for both
sending and reception if combined with a randomly selected TTL to give the impression of
the source having received the frame from elsewhere.

A hearer of a self-announcement who has not previously seen the sender might
like to get some authentication to prevent naughty people from spoofing routes.
We can do this by having ourselves, the sender, keep track of the last few frames
we have sent, so that we can be asked to sign them. Actually, we won't sign them,
as that is too slow/energy intensive, but we could use a D-H exchange with the neighbour,
performed once to get a shared secret that can be used to feed a stream cipher to
produce some sort of verification.

We can likely get away with abbreviating our own address much of the time, since these

not any of the fancier methods. Indeed, if we tried to use the standard abbreviation
functions they would notice that we are attaching an address which is ourself, and send
a uselessly short address. So instead we will use a simple scheme where we will send our
