n-acd - IPv4 Address Conflict Detection

CHANGES WITH 2:

    * All public destructors now include a variant that returns `void`.
      This was requested for easier integration with `glib` and friends.
      Similar to the `cleanup` variants, these variants are denoted by a
      single-character function-name suffix. E.g., `n_acd_freev()`

    * A fallback to `CLOCK_MONOTONIC` is now provided in case
      `CLOCK_BOOTTIME` is not supported by the kernel. Note that this is in
      no way signalled through the API, so if timers should follow the
      `BOOTTIME` rather than monotonic clock, a kernel with this clock is
      required.

    * The `c-sundry` dependency is no longer needed.

    * The `transport` configuration property is now mandatory for
      `n_acd_new()`. It defaulted to `ETHERNET` before, by mistake.

    * In-source documentation for the public API is now provided.

CHANGES WITH 1:

    * Initial release of n-acd. This project implements the IPv4 Address
      Conflict Detection standard as defined in RFC-5227. The state machine
      is implemented in a shared library and provides a stable ISO-C11 API.
      The implementation is linux-only and relies heavily on the API
      behavior of recent linux kernel releases.

    * Compared to the pre-releases, this release supports many parallel
      probes on a single n-acd context. This reduces the number of
      allocated network resources to O(1), based on the number of running
      parallel probes.

    * The n-acd project is now dual-licensed: ASL-2.0 and LGPL-2.1+
