tipc: Introduce node signature field in neighbor discovery message
Adds support for the new "node signature" in neighbor discovery messages, which is a 16 bit identifier chosen randomly when TIPC is initialized. This field makes it possible for nodes receiving a neighbor discovery message to detect if multiple neighboring nodes are using the same network address (i.e. <Z.C.N>), even when the messages are arriving on different interfaces. This first phase of node signature support creates the signature, incorporates it into outgoing neighbor discovery messages, and tracks the signature used by valid neighbors. An upcoming patch builds on this foundation to implement the improved duplicate neighbor detection checking.
