Usually, the DNs of all loaded CA certificates are included in the
CertificateRequest messages sent by the server.
Alas, certain EAP-TLS clients fail to process this message if the
list is too long, returning the fatal TLS alert 'illegal parameter'.
This new option allows configuring whether CAs are included or an
empty list is sent (TLS 1.2), or the certificate_authorities extension
is omitted (TLS 1.3). The list only serves as hint/constraint
for clients during certificate selection, they still have to provide
a certificate but are free to select any one they have available.

A new global option enables sending this vendor ID to prevent Cisco
devices from narrowing the initiator's local traffic selector to the
requested virtual IP, so e.g. 0.0.0.0/0 can be used instead.
This has been tested with a "tunnel mode ipsec ipv4" Cisco template but
should also work for GRE encapsulation.

This is useful on Android where the app might not be able to send
keep-alives if the device is asleep for a while. If the NAT mapping
has been deleted in the mean time, the NAT-D payloads allow detecting
this and connectivity can be restored by doing a MOBIKE update or
recreating the SA if the peer already deleted it because the client
wasn't reachable.
Some peers apparently don't send the notify and still expect to
authenticate with EAP-only authentication. This option allows forcing
the configured use of EAP-only authentication in that scenario.
Charon refuses to make use of algorithms IDs from the private space
for unknown peer implementations [1]. If you chose to ignore and violate
that section of the RFC since you *know* your peers *must* support those
private IDs, there's no way to disable that behavior.
With this commit a strongswan.conf option is introduced which allows to
deliberately ignore parts of section 3.12 from the standard.

Might be useful for users of other daemons too. Note that compared to the
previous implementation in charon-tkm, the mask/label are applied in
network order.

sec-updater downloads the deb package files from security updates from
a given linux repository and uses the swid_generator command to
derive a SWID tag. The SWID tag is then imported into strongTNC
using the manage.py importswid command.
After deleting a rekeyed CHILD_SA we uninstall the outbound SA but don't
destroy the CHILD_SA (and the inbound SA) immediately. We delay it
a few seconds or until the SA expires to allow delayed packets to get
processed. The CHILD_SA remains in state CHILD_DELETING until it finally
gets destroyed.
When multihomed, a setup might prefer to dynamically stay on the cheapest
available path by using MOBIKE migrations. If the cheapest path goes away and
comes back, we currently stay on the more expensive path to reduce noise and
prevent potential migration issues. This is usually just fine for links not
generating real cost.
If we have more expensive links in the setup, it can be desirable to always
migrate to the cheapest link available. By setting charon.prefer_best_path,
charon tries to migrate to the path using the highest priority link, allowing
an external application to update routes to indirectly control MOBIKE behavior.
This option has no effect if MOBIKE is unavailable.
This is the minimum size an IPv6 implementation must support. This makes
it the default for IPv4 too, which presumably is also generally routable
(otherwise, setting this to 0 falls back to the minimum of 576 for IPv4).
When charon rekeys a CHILD_SA after a soft limit expired, it is only
deleted after the hard limit is reached. In case of packet/byte limits
this may not be the case for a long time since the packets/bytes are
usually sent using the new SA. This may result in a very large number of
stale CHILD_SAs and kernel states. With enough connections configured this
will ultimately exhaust the memory of the system.
This patch adds a strongswan.conf setting that, if enabled, causes the old
CHILD_SA to be deleted by the initiator after a successful rekeying.
Enabling this setting might create problems with implementations that
continue to use rekeyed SAs (e.g. if the DELETE notify is lost).
