e91754f5b9 Event lists rewritten to a single linked list
In multithreaded environment, we need to pass messages between workers.
This is done by queuing events to their respective queues. The
double-linked list is not really useful for that as it needs locking
everywhere.

This commit rewrites the event subsystem to use a single-linked list
where events are enqueued by a single atomic instruction and the queue
is processed after atomically moving the whole queue aside.

94eb0858c2 Converting the former BFD loop to a universal IO loop and protocol loop.
There is a simple universal IO loop, taking care of events, timers and
sockets. Primarily, one instance of a protocol should use exactly one IO
loop to do all its work, as is now done in BFD.

Contrary to previous versions, the loop is now launched and cleaned by
the nest/proto.c code, allowing for a protocol to just request its own
loop by setting the loop's lock order in config higher than the_bird.

It is not supported nor checked if any protocol changed the requested
lock order in reconfigure. No protocol should do it at all.
