When an interface disappears, all the neighbors are freed as well. Seqno
requests were anyway not decoupled from them, leading to strange
segfaults. This fix adds a proper seqno request list inside neighbors to
make sure that no pointer to neighbor is kept after free.
The old linked list implementation used some wild typecasts and required
GCC option -fno-strict-aliasing to work properly. This patch fixes that.
However, we still keep the option due to other potential problems.

The patch adds support for channels, structures connecting protocols and
tables and handling most interactions between them. The documentation is
missing yet.
WALK_LIST_DELSAFE (in ev_run_list) is not safe with regard
to deletion of next node. When some events are rescheduled
during event execution, it may lead to deletion of next
node and some events are skipped. Such skipped nodes remain
in temporary list on stack and the last of them contains
'next' pointer to stack area. When this event is later
scheduled, it damages stack area trying to remove it from
the list, which leads to random crashes with funny
backtraces :-) .
